Portfolio Update November 2018

I've never known that life of a "semi retired" person can be so hectic (busy). I have not visited Shanghai for the past ten years and now I visited the city 3 times in a span of 6 weeks, and non for leisure! Due to my busy travel schedule I did not publish and update of my portfolio in October. My attention was somewhere else.

Equity market made some kind of recovery in November in the hope of a truce in Sino-US trade war. STI followed the trend and gained 98.81 points or 3.27% in the month. However my portfolio did poorly in the month due to poor performance of some counters like Lippo, First Reit, Keppel Corp, SempCorp, SIA Engineering, SATS and SingTel. As at 30 November the value of my stock portfolio dropped 0.82% compared to last month.

I bought some SingTel shares in November. I also received some Fraser Commercial Trust shares via scrip dividend scheme. There was no sell trade in the month.

I received a total of S$13,308 in dividend, mainly from stocks, but also from bonds and UT as well.

Portfolio Update 30 September 2018

After a few months of retracting, equity market finally turned around this month. When the market closed on 28 September, STI rose 43.57 points, or 1.37% compared to last month, in line with the recovery of global equity market.

My portfolio performed very well this month. Its value increased by 3.71% this month, out performing the ST Index.

I did not make any trade this month, but received some shares from Mapletree Industrial Trust via scrip dividend scheme. I bought some CommerzBank bond during its IPO. This is in line with my current investment strategy to shift my investment focus towards fixed income investment.
