Portfolio Update - 31 July 2015

Market has been very volatile in the month of July. STI started negative, swing back to positive territory, than dived into negative territory in a free fall fashion on the last few days of trading. Index was still up 1% on 24/7, but the last week completely wiped out this gain. As at 31 July 2015 STI closed at 3202.50, down 3.46% compared to last month.

My portfolio also also swung from positive to negative with the index. As at month end, its value declined  2.93%. 

This month, I bought into Nam Lee, Tai Sin, KepCorp and Metro. I sold all my shares in China Flex Pack, Koda, Courage Marine and FSL.

Total passive income amounts to S$14,007.00 and is mainly from unit trusts. Only S$460 is from shares.

Below are my top 30 holdings as at 31 July 2015. The changes in relative positions shows the volatility of the market. Nam Lee Metal is a new member in the list. together with CWT, they replace Lippo Mall Trust and FCT.
