The month of December 2016 was not very eventful in the financial market. US Fed finally raised the interest rate for a second time in December, but the rate hike was largely expected and did not create big market swing. Trading volume in SGX was thin as many traders were on holiday.
STI closed at 2880.76 on 30 December, dropped 23.26 points, or 0.8% for the month. My portfolio performed "badly" compared with the index. Its value dropped 1.32% in December. Quite a few counters including REITs performed badly in this month.
This month, I received subscribed to the right issue from ASL Marine and received some shares. There was no other trade done.
Total dividend received in December was S$12,430.00.
Below are the top 30 holdings as at 30 December 2016.
1. SPH
2. ComfortDelGro
3. OCBC Bank
4. DBS
5. Ausnet Services
6. Metro
7. ST Engineering

26. Nikko AM STI ETF 100
27. KSH
28. Lippo Malls Tr
29. Mapletree Log Tr
30. Stamford Land
Overall my investment did not perform well in 2016. While STI was flat for the whole year (dropped 0.07%), my portfolio value dropped 3.12% for the year, net off fresh fund injected and without taking dividend into consideration. When dividend received is taken into consideration, my stock portfolio made a positive return of +2.5%.
Total dividend received in 2016 was S$153,273.68, 58% from shares, 40% from UT and 2% from Bond. The chart below shows dividend received in each month.
Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2017.

Sanye兄，
Nice to see a dragon like you still having unit trusts in your portfolio ;)
Many have defected to the ETFs camp, and I'll bet some will be surprised at how much dividends we can get from unit trusts!
OK, I trade unit trusts, different from you, but hey! Money is money :)
祝兄长身心健康，万事如意！
SMOL,
Wow, my first visitor of the year. What a great honor!
I am no dragon, just a little 毛毛虫。
哈哈，Happy new year, Brother.
hi sanye,
let me be the 2nd visitor
happy new year
great portfolio, using a combi of UT and equities to even out the dividend distribution throughout the year.
Hi Paul,
Happy new year to you too.
Past year hasn't been very good for investment return. Let hope for a better year.
Huat Ah!
Hi Sanye,
A very impressive 2.727 million portfolio value.
Very impressive portfolio here. Nice returns per month and per year. Well done
2.5% is pretty good for 2016 considering yours are not pure equity
Hi Cory,
Thanks for visiting my blog. 2.5% is a bit on the low side, I was expecting 4~5% return annually. :)
i came from http://thenewsavvy.com/invest/equities/dividend-investing-101/
got a mention for dividends stock investing in singapore
4-5% annually, is it like reasonably easy to achieve? so has a bit of chance to overshoot.
or it is actually the max of the return range that you expect?
Thanks sanye for writing so many blog posts
Hi Cherub,
It is quite reasonable to expect an average of 4~5% annual return in stock investment in Singapore. STI index stocks have an average yield of 3%. REITs' average yield is 6~7%. Some companies pay even higher dividend.
My return was lower last year because of negative capital gain. In a good year the return could be double digits.....
Hi nice reading yoour post
