My Unit Trust Asset Allocation

Dear all,

After nearly one year, I guess it is time for another summary on my unit trust asset allocation. You can refer to my previous one at the link below:

https://ghchua.blogspot.com/2024/09/my-unit-trust-asset-allocation.html

For asset classes, I have done nothing much other than consistently adding onto the list of unit trusts that I had been holding for CPF Investments. I have again been defensive for the past one year or so, and therefore increased my allocation to short duration bond fixed income fund again. The other asset classes are obviously down correspondingly in terms of percentage of allocation, with my additional allocation to the short duration bond fixed income fund.

For geographic exposure, Emerging Markets, Japan and Singapore funds were the out performers in the portfolio. Asia excluding Japan funds also did well.

Laggards are mainly single country funds. Most of these single country funds were in emerging/developing markets and the likes of India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia each have their own country specific issues for the past year, which affected their respective stock market performance. 

Going forward, my strategy is to add onto existing funds, while continue to maintain a more defensive positioning in terms of asset allocation. I will continue to allocate more to fixed income instead of equity, with emphasis on shorter duration to mitigate interest rate fluctuations. I will also stick more to global, regional and developed markets single country funds to mitigate emerging/developing markets country specific risks.

Asset Class

Equity 79.53%

Balanced 12.82%

Fixed Income 7.65%

Geographic

Global 21.26%

Asia Pacific Excluding Japan 15.44%

Emerging Markets 13.41%

US 8.32%

Singapore 8.29%

Asia excluding Japan 6.40%

Taiwan 3.22%

Europe including UK 3.05%

India 1.95%

Malaysia 1.43%

Korea 1.40%

Welcome any comments (if any) on my unit trust asset allocation.

My Investment Portfolio (August 2025)

STI ended August at 4269 points, up more than 2% for the month. The stock market in Singapore had been tracking the half year result announcements of companies with financial year ending 31 December 2025 and reacted accordingly. Meanwhile in US, latest job numbers, interest rate outlook and trade deal with China had been closely watched.

For my top 30 holdings this month, most stocks in the list did well, tracking the broader market. Koh Brothers is a new entry and Global Testing returned to the list, replacing ST Engineering and Tat Seng respectively. Main contributors include Singapore Land Group, Hong Leong Asia, Multi-Chem and SingTel. Detractors include Sembcorp Industries, Hong Leong Finance and F&N.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - ABR, AF Global, AP Oil, Avarga, Avi-tech, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Captii, Chuan Hup, EnGro, F&N, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Innotek, IPC Corp, Jardine Matheson, Karin, Koh Brothers, Metro, OUE, Overseas Education, Pan Hong, PNE Industries, Singapore Shipping, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, Venture, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - The Trendlines Group.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Starhill Global REIT, Boustead Singapore and CSE Global.

My stake in AV Jennings had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement.

Next month will be a quiet month as the financial result reporting season for companies had ended. As usual, I will be focusing on my portfolio and looking at ways to seek more value in the market. With expected volatility ahead, I will continue to position my portfolio more defensively.

My Investment Portfolio (July 2025)

STI ended July at 4173 points, up more than 5% for the month. STI had managed to hit another all-time high this month but weakened towards the end of the month. Focus on the market this month had been on US spending bill and “reciprocal” trade deals with US. Locally, MAS appointment of the first batch of EQDP asset managers had boasted some mid and small cap stocks. Meanwhile, US Fed kept interest rate on hold.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - SIA Engineering.

For my top 30 holdings this month, most stocks in the list did reasonably well. F&N and SBS Transit returned to the list, replacing PM Data and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust. Main contributors include iFAST, Hotel Properties, Singapore Land Group, Far East Orchard, Samudera Shipping, Jardine C&C and Haw Par. Laggards include LHT and SingTel.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - A-Sonic, AP Oil, Aspial Corp, Avi-tech, Baker Tech, Bund Center, Captii, Casa, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, ComfortDelgro, Digilife Tech, EnGro, First Sponsor, Frasers Property, Global Investments, Golden Agri, Heeton, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Hong Fok, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, IPC Corp, Jardine C&C, Karin, Khong Guan, Koyo, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, New Toyo, Ocean Sky, OUE Healthcare, Overseas Education, Pan Hong, Pollux, Qian Hu, Riverstone, SHS, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Tyres, Straco, Teho, Tuan Sing, Venture, Wing Tai and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - CosmoSteel.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - Cosco Shipping.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - ISDN.

Next month will be another financial reporting season, as companies having financial year ending 31 December 2025 will continue reporting their half year results. As usual, I will be going through some of those results. I will also continue to re-invest dividends received slowly back into the markets, while remaining prudent in deploying them during these volatile times.

My Investment Portfolio (June 2025)

STI ended first half of the year at 3964 points, up around 1.8% for the month and up around 4.7% year to date. Markets were up during the early part of the month on stronger than expected payrolls result and President Trump’s push to cut interest rate. Also, anticipation of trade deal conclusion between US and China further added to the positive outlook. However, escalated tensions in the Middle East towards the middle of the month capped its upside though it recovered as the month closes.

For my top 30 holdings this month, most stocks in the list did well. Hong Leong Asia and UOB Kay Hian are the new entries into the list, replacing F&N and SBS Transit. Main contributors include The Hour Glass and Tat Seng. Laggards include Hotel Grand Central and Jardine C&C.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Baker Tech, Banyan Group, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Chuan Hup, Delfi, Digilife Tech, EnGro, F&N, Far East Orchard, Frasers Property, Golden Agri, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Innotek, IPC Corp, Jardine C&C, Khong Guan, Metro, PSC Corp, Qian Hu, Riverstone, Secura, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Tyres, Straits Trading, Sunright, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, Venture, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Ban Leong.

My stake in PEC had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement.

Next month will be another AGM season, with companies having financial year ending 31 March 2025 holding their AGMs. It will also be another low dividend paying month. As usual, I will continue to re-invest those dividends back into the market at a slower pace, in anticipation of the various headwinds ahead.

My Investment Portfolio (May 2025)

STI ended May at 3894 points, up around 1.6% for the month. Markets were mixed as investors grappled with a fresh wave of uncertainties surrounding global trade and also reduced tariffs between US and China. However, towards the end of the month, it recovered some lost ground.

For my top 30 holdings this month, Amara Holdings is out of the list after I accepted a voluntary conditional general offer from the offeror. LHT also received an offer to purchase its assets and business. Contibutors include Hotel Properties, Stamford Land and Bukit Sembawang Estates. Laggards include Bonvests, Haw Par (due to XD) and Jardine C&C. F&N returned to the list while ST Engineering is a new entry.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - A-Sonic, ABR, Baker Tech, Banyan Group, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Chuan Hup, Delfi, Digilife Tech, EnGro, F&N, Far East Orchard, Frasers Property, Golden Agri, GuocoLand, Heeton, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hong Fok, Hotel Royal, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Innotek, Karin, Keong Hong, Khong Guan, Koh Brothers, Metro, Nippecraft, OUE, OUE Healthcare, PNE Industries, Qian Hu, Riverstone, Sing Investment & Finance, Singapore Land Group, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Stamford Tyres, Straco, TIH, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, Vibropower, Vicplas and Wing Tai. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offers this month - Amara Holdings and Sinarmas Land.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - CSE Global, Global Investments, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, UOA, UOB Kay Hian and Yeo Hiap Seng.

Next month will be another quiet month. As usual, with the dividends received from this month, I will be investing prudently back into the markets. With many headwinds ahead despite lower volatility in the markets, my focus will still be on seeking value while limiting growth.

My Investment Portfolio (April 2025)

STI ended April at 3832 points, down around 3.5% for the month. Markets were sold off badly early in the month due to concerns on trade wars. The on and off tariff announcements from US further increased market uncertainty. Volatility also increased significantly this month. However, towards the end of the month, markets recovered some lost ground.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - Great Eastern, UOI, Seatrium, Amara Holdings, Ho Bee Land and Koh Brothers.

For my top 30 holdings this month, many changes were observed due to the volatile market. Amara Holdings is the new top holding after having received a voluntary conditional general offer from a consortium. Other main contributors include LHT, SGX, SingTel and SBS Transit. Most of the other stocks in the list did not do well, with the main detractors being iFAST, PM Data and DBS. Singapura Finance meanwhile, returned to the list.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Advanced, Avi-Tech, Baker Tech, Banyan Group, BBR, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Chemical Industries, Delfi, EnGro, F&N, Far East Orchard, Frasers Property, Golden Agri, GRP, GuocoLand, Heeton, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hongkong Land, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Hotel Royal, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Innotek, IPC Corp, KSH, Lum Chang, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, MYP, Noel Gifts, OUE, Overseas Education, PNE Industries, PSC Corp, Qian Hu, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Broadway Industrial.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - Frasers Centrepoint Trust.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - Jardine Matheson.

Next month, companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024 will be mostly paying out their final dividends after holding their AGMs in April. With tariff concerns, markets are expected to remain volatile going forward. As usual, I will re-invest those dividends back into the market prudently, while spreading my purchases to minimize risk.

My Investment Portfolio (March 2025)

STI briefly touched 4000 points during the last trading day of the month but ended March at 3972 points, up around 2% for the month. Markets were worried about rising tariff wars, US recession fears and Russia-Ukraine conflict progress during the earlier parts of the month. But towards the end of the month, markets staged a relief rally due to US FOMC maintaining two rate cuts for 2025. Due to many concerns, volatility also increased though it stabilised towards the end of the month.

For my top 30 holdings this month, some changes were observed. Main contributors include Sembcorp Industries, Singapore Land Group, Haw Par and UOL. Top detractors include iFAST, Hong Fok and PM Data. Great Eastern and Singapura Finance dropped out of the list while SBS Transit and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust returned.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - A-Sonic, AF Global, Avi-Tech, Baker Tech, BBR, Bonvests, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, City Developments, Delfi, Digilife Tech, EnGro, F&N, First Sponsor, Frasers Property, Fuji Offset, Goodland, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Properties, Hotung, Innotek, Jardine Matheson, Koh Brothers, KSH, Lion Asiapac, Low Keng Huat, Lum Chang, Mandarin Oriental, MegaChem, Metro, New Toyo, Nippecraft, Noel Gifts, OUE, OUE Healthcare, PNE Industries, PSC Corp, Riverstone, Shangri-La Asia, Sinarmas Land, Sing Investment & Finance, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tan Chong International, Trendlines, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, Willas Array, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

Next month, companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024 will be conducting their AGMs. As usual, I will try to attend some of these AGMs to get updates from my portfolio companies. With April being a traditionally low dividend paying month, I will slow down my purchases in the market in order to conserve cash for my expenses.
