My Investment Portfolio (January 2025)
STI ended the first month of the year at 3855 points, up around 1.8% for the month aided by gains during the last trading day of the month as US Fed paused interest rate cuts. Markets were worried about US Fed’s interest rate trajectory earlier this month due to inflation data and employment numbers reported. Also, US President Donald Trump’s business policies had been closely watched. Towards the end of the month, the emergence of DeepSeek seems to affect confidence in some AI related stocks.
For my top 30 holdings this month, some changes were observed as investors returned to the market. Main contributors include LHT, Multi-Chem and Singapore Land Group while Amara Holdings and F&N were among the top detractors. Metro Holdings dropped out of the list while SingTel returned. Meanwhile, Great Eastern was granted a further extension of time to comply with listing rules and remain suspended. AV Jennings, my Top Holding (Aust$ Denominated shares) had received a higher completing bid from Ho Bee Land.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - A-Sonic, Asia Vets, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Captii, CDW, Chemical Industries, City Developments, Delfi, Digilife Tech, F&N, Far East Orchard, Goodland, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Hotel Royal, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Innotek, Jardine Matheson, Karin, Khong Guan, Koda, Lion Asiapac, Lum Chang, New Toyo, Nippecraft, OUE, PSC Corp, Raffles Medical, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tan Chong International, Tuan Sing, UOL, Venture, Wing Tai, Yanlord, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.
I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Courage Investment.
Next month, most companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024 will be announcing their full-year results. As usual, I will go through some of those result announcements. I will also continue to deploy my cash holdings slowly back into the markets, buying mostly value plays in the small and mid cap space plus some selected blue chip stocks. With more volatility, uncertainty and headwinds expected ahead, stock selection becomes more crucial as one attempts to navigate the markets in the Year of the Wood Snake. Gong Xi Fa Cai to all my readers out there!

Hi Ghchua,
Which brokerage firm do you make your share transactions through?
WTK
Hi WTK,
I used a few of them, so I am quite neutral to them. Frankly speaking, I have no preference as long as they offer me low cost and CDP settlement for my SGX listed stocks.
Hi Mr. Chua,
Regarding GE Hldgs, under what circumstances could OCBC exercise it's right to compulsorily acquire non-assenting shareholders' shares should it now raise its offer to a fair price? Would it then add on to what OCBC had managed to garner in its earlier offer for it to achieve the requirements? Thank you
Hi Jamesbond007,
For compulsorily acquisition, it will be not less than 90% acceptance (other than the shares that they already owned) at the close of the offer. No, it will not add onto the earlier offer acceptance rate since that offer had already closed. If OCBC did make another offer for GE Hldgs, it will start counting from 0% again for compulsorily acquisition requirement.
