Portfolio Update February 2019

The global equity market is still very much affected by the Sino-US trade relationship. Speculations that a "historic" trade deal may be reached between the two giants supported the market sentiment in February, and the market continues to recover. However many investors are still waiting for more concrete news or signs so the upward movement is kept in check.

STI rose 27.93 points, or 0.88% in the month of February, despite the not so good export data in January. My portfolio value moved up 0.78%, a touch below the index.

I accepted the tender offer and sold all my M1 shares in the month. No other trade was done in February. I opted to receive scrips for some REIT dividend, but those will be settled in next month.

Total dividend received in February amounts to S$22,440. Quite a big part of it comes from coupon payments from corporate bonds and dividends from unit trust.

Below are my top 30 share holdings as at 28 February.

Portfolio Update January 2019

After the weak performance at the end of last year, the stock market rebounded strongly in January. However market is still concerned about the China-US trade war, and investment sentiment is still very much affected by it.

STI moved with the global market. At the end of January, STI rose 145.43 points or 4.78% compared to a month ago. My portfolio moved with the index. As at 31 January, its value increased 4.91% compared to that at end December last year.

No trade was done in the month of January. I was busy with other things and have really become a "passive" investor. I have also not decided if I will accept the M1 offer.

I received a total of S$11,880 in dividend. Most of it come from bond and UT, as January is normally a "dry" month for stock dividend.

Below are my top 30 holdings as at 31 January.
