A big gap down at the beginning of the month. I too the opportunity to add some OCBC and DBS and now my war chest is empty. 

MLT, MPACT and MINT are announcing their quarterly results this month and all do not look good. The price continue to go south and now I am sitting at around 20% loss. Hopefully rebound will happen when the rate cut is announced later this year.

Next month will be my dividend month, expecting around $1,800 to be received. That will make my YTD dividend around $2k, half of the target of dividend to be received by end of 2025.

US new tariff kicked in, market fear of trade war, STI went down 100 points in 1 day. I am looking for chance to enter DBS at around $40 and OCBC around $15, hopefully during their XD.

I am also looking forward to add other company like Wilmar and Venture during their XD in Apr-25.

However with limited war chest size, I might only able to add some SG local banks.

SGX Portfolio Updates Feb-2025

Acquisitions:

Current Portfolio Capital Gain / Loss:

- Red @ -3% 

Watch list:

- Wilmar, CDG

Placed a wrong bet in MINT, price continue to went down after downgraded by JP Morgan. The price is now below $2.00 at the time of writing. 

Many companies has announced their results and dividends this month, SG local banks again giving good set of results and giving special dividends for this round. I see a mixed results for my other counters but still they are giving dividends despite some of them are not performing as expected. With all these dividends that are expect to come, my 1H 2025 dividends will be breaking the $2k mark.

Outside of this portfolio, I have parked my FD money to SSB and they are fully allotted. I plan to further increase my allocation to these fixed income instruments in the future.

SGX Portfolio Updates Jan-2025

Acquisitions:

- Bought Wilmar at near 52 weeks low

Dividend / Profit Taking / Cut Loss:

- Nil

Current Portfolio Capital Gain / Loss:

- Red @ -3% (As of 24-Jan-25)

Watch list:

- MIT, MLT, MPACT

CNY is around the corner and I will be back to my hometown next week, so I decided to have this update one week earlier.

Not much actions on this portfolio this month, only added some Wilmar when it nearly hits it's 52 weeks low.

Results for MIT, MLT and MPACT announced this month, I see result for MIT as positive while MLT and MPACT as mixed. They are still staying low and I think is a good opportunity to add some during this period, for the 6%+ dividend yield. Will see what is the price point during and after XD.

Outside of this portfolio, I have starting to move my FD fund to SSB, due to the not so attractive interest rate from FD. I know there are other HYSA that offers better interest rate but I have chosen SSB for the piece of mind.

The year of snake is around the corner, I wish everybody a good year ahead and huat in your investing journey.
