Portfolio Update Jun 2019

Stock market recovered much of its losses in the month of June. Market seemed to have digested the impact from the trade war, and any slight good news was enough to send the index upwards. So the truce in Sino-US trade war, though just kicking the can down the road, as enough to create some cheers.

STI rose 193 points or 6.22% in June, though everyone on the street was lamenting the business sentiment was not so good. My portfolio value increases by 5.7%, slightly lower then the index.

I subscribed to Frasers Centre Point Trust right issue and received some shares this month. I received also some shares from MLT, MIT,  OCBC and ESR Reit through scrip dividend scheme. No selling was done.

Dividend received this month was S$11,500, 1/3 from UT and 2/3 from shares. Total dividend received in the first half of the year was S$93,833.

Portfolio Update 31 MAY 2019

Equity market performed badly in May. The escalating trade tension between the two giants caused so much uncertainty in the market. Somehow this famous phrase "Sell in May and stay away" haunted the stock market again.....

STI dropped 282.44 points, or 8.31% in May. I think there were some panic selling there. My portfolio dropped with the index, but a bit less. Its value decreased by 5.07% in the same period.

I received some FCOT and Taisin shares via scrip dividend scheme. No other trade was done.

The only consolation in May was the dividend. In the month of May, I received a total of S$27,000 in dividend from shares, UT and bonds. It's bonus month again!

Portfolio Update 30 April 2019

With the hope that Sino-US trade negotiation was heading towards some kind of agreement, the equity market performed well in the month of April. STI rose with the global market. At the end of April, STI rose 196 points, or 6.14% from a month ago.

My portfolio however, did not perform as well as the index. Compared to last month, its value increased only 3.9%.

I received some Keppel Infrastructure Trust shares from subscription on right issues. I also applied for excess right and got some allotment.

Dividend received in April is low as usual. With the sales of M1 shares it went even lower this year. Minus the interest payment, passive income in April was S$2,524.

I bought some Fraser bond this month, using the proceed from the sales of Oxley bonds last month, and cash accumulated from dividend income. This will increase dividend income in six month.
