Dividends in 2007

For the year 2007, I received a total of $24,433 dividends in cash, from the shares I hold. This excludes the dividend received in CPA OA shares and Unit Trust. Taking the portfolio value on 31.12.2007(includes PanU and Ellipsiz), this represents a good 4.8%, which is higher than 3.8% in 2006.

The two counters that gave very high dividens are Hiap Moh and Sg Ship. Other counters like Metro Holdings, Comfordelgro, SATservic gave also good dividends of 6% and above.

Unit Trust portfolio

My UT portfolio had an average growth of 15.39% in the year 2007. Best performer was FS Global resource fund which grew 45.9%. HSBC BRIC fund, Schroder BRIC Fund Aberdeen China Opportunity Fund, LC China Growth Fund, and UOB Gold and General fund all return more than 30%. LC Japan Growth Fund was the poorest performing fund with a -12.61%, followed by Henderson AP Property Equity Fund with -0.93% and Infinity Global Index Fund with 0.97%.

As a whole the portfolio performance was satisfactory. Hope it continue to do well in 2008.
