17/6/23 Portfolio Update

-

 Hello everyone! PL here with just a short portfolio update to rid the radio silence of my blog! I'm currently undergoing my vocational training and hence still don't have too much free time to continue writing detailed blog posts regularly. Nevertheless, here are just some updates on my portfolio :)

Initially, my portfolio had Keppel Corp in 100% weightage, but I took profit on half of the proceedings when Keppel neared the $6.50 range and put the available cash into United Hampshire US REIT, which is a counter I've covered in the past.


Overall, the total profit for the account is SGD 1.9k, yielding a forward dividend income of SGD 1.3k per year.


I will continue to hold my remaining stake in Keppel as I believe that the current plan to recycle capital into recurring income is coming to fruition quite nicely, potentially cementing Keppel's status as a solid Blue Chip company that will provide me with cash flow for years to come. 


In terms of UHREIT, I believe it will ride on the upcoming REIT rally should interest rates start to plateau and be lowered. However, should inflation remain untamed, the resilient asset class of UHREIT should benefit. Overall, UHREIT, with high amounts of fixed borrowings, will remain strong in the face of any headwind, be it a weak economy, high inflation, or dropping or increasing interest rates. Not to mention the fact that SGD has been quite strong against the USD recently, making it an opportune time to accumulate foreign US assets.


Moving forward, I believe I will continue to be overweight REITs, looking at various counters such as AIMS APAC REIT, Mapletree Logistics/Industrial Trust, and Capitaland Ascendas REIT. I will also consider accumulating banks for a long-term portfolio should they show increased weakness.

Welcome to my blog! To give some background information about myself, I'm an 19 year old Singaporean "investor" that is certainly no stranger to financial mistakes or recklessness. With this blog, I hope to share my thoughts and findings, as well as be able to educate anyone who is willing to give this blog the time of day! The term "passive loss" is obviously one of sarcasm. It's a joke-term created when my JC friends and I would often remark on how much did my portfolio lose after a lesson, or a day of school. Nevertheless, I am a dividend investor with a healthy (or rather, unhealthy) risk appetite!

    Wow PL, that is a lot of profits that you are sitting on Keppel Corp. Can see the very strong conviction you had in it when you purchased it and now proven spot on target. Good one!

    I have started accumulating some units of Keppel Corp to diversify my current portfolio as I am rather excited by its management emphasis of "asset light model" growth strategy going forward.

      Hi Blade, thanks for the kind comment!

      I firmly believe that Keppel Corp is a solid dividend blue chip that will slowly reward shareholders over time, unlocking value. I am vested long term in Keppel Corp and will not be divesting any of my current lots right now. Hope we both continue to profit together!

Should You Invest in Haw Par Corporation?

If you didn't know, I've always been a big fan of Urban Exploration (Urbex) in Singapore, and by extension, have gained an appreciation for the history behind Singapore's iconic and forgotten sites. I don't think it'll be too much of a stretch to say that the great majority of Singaporeans have heard of the renowned  Haw Par Villa , a theme park revolving around the central theme of Chinese mythology, illustrating various scenes from punishment in hell to certain aspects of Confucianism. Not to mention, it's an all-time favourite haunt (pun absolutely intended) for paranormal investigators, hoping to capture evidence of the notorious legend involving the park acting as the portal to hell.  Have you ever actually wondered how is it funded though? I certainly do not see it being paraded around by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and it seems like too much of a niche to have been considered economically viable in the first place since entry to the park is free...

How I Would Invest $200,000 Today As A Singaporean Youth

 Recently, I've had a lot of friends ask me for some good stock picks, with no idea on how to invest their funds. Of course, like I said earlier, I'm not  an investment guru or certified financial planner. Hell, I don't think I'm even generating alpha or creating better risk-adjusted returns. Nevertheless, I figured that it would be fun for me to try to create a $200K SGD portfolio and briefly justify my picks. Do take note that this is from a 3-5+ year investing time frame view, although there are still some picks which would be good long-term holds. It's more of a mixed bag really with a focus on value investing.  Enough chit chat then, let's get straight to the point with some brief description / rationale for each stock! Here's how I would Invest $200,000 Today as a Singaporean Youth... (If I was Responsible) *Information accurate as of 17/3/2022 derived from (Source: SGX Stock Screener ) In descending order from highest weightage to lowest weightage: VW

United Hampshire US REIT 2H DPU Drops 27.9%! Should You Be Concerned?

Introduction  It's no secret that the US Retail REIT comprises the majority of my portfolio. It could even be said that my portfolio IS UHREIT, and I can safely say that this will continue to be the case. If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you may recall in a previous post that I mentioned the fact that I would cut my UHREIT holdings if it reached 0.60 USD per unit . Obviously, that never materialised and instead of shooting up to 0.6, it has recently fallen to 0.44. Hence, in the spirit of doing things in an "opposite" sense, I believe this calls for a time of accumulation, foolish as it may initially seem.  United Hampshire US REIT's Logo (Source: UHREIT's LinkedIn Page ) The headline of UHREIT's 2H DPU drop of 27.9% is  scary . I mean, it's understandable. Living on $60,000 per year of income is extremely different from living on $45,000 per year, so investors are naturally spooked by the seemingly dire results posted by the REIT. However,
