My Investment Portfolio (August 2026)

STI ended August at 5755 points, up more than 2% for the month, lifted again by the banks. Markets had continued to be concerned with interest rate outlook, tariff news, US-Iran war progression, oil price and AI related stories. Volatility in the markets had further decreased as compared to last month.

For my top 30 holdings this month, it had been again another mixed list of performance. Straits Trading and Far East Orchard returned to the list, replacing PM Data and Haw Par. Main contributors include SGX, DBS, Multi-Chem, OCBC, Sembcorp Industries, ST Engineering and SBS Transit. Detractors include UOL, EnGro, Jardine C&C and Bukit Sembawang Estates.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Anchun, Asia Enterprises, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bund Center, CFM, Delfi, F&N, Far East Orchard, Frasers Property, Heeton, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hotel Properties, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Intraco, IPC Corp, Jardine Matheson, Karin, Keong Hong, Koh Brothers, Metro, Mewah, MindChamps, MYP, New Toyo, Noel Gifts, OUE, Overseas Education, PNE Industries, Raffles Medical, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straco, Tuan Sing, Vibrant Group, Wing Tai, Yanlord, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following Equal Access Offer this month - SHS Holdings.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - Global Invacom.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Aspial Corp, Boustead Singapore, Singapore Shipping and Stamford Land.

Next month will be a quiet month as the financial result reporting season for most 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 headwinds ahead, I will continue to position my portfolio more defensively.
