November 2019 Portfolio Update


Overall Portfolio Allocation
On November 4th, I bought a tiny sliver of Raffles Medical (BSL.SI) at $1.01 In hindsight, I could have gotten better prices. However, this will be my defensive and long term part of my portfolio.
REITs keep dropping these days and I initiated a position in Keppel DC REIT. I first got in at $1.96 and few days after it dropped to $1.88 so I averaged down to $1.89 and $1.90
On my overseas holdings, S & P 500 is breaking new record high almost every day so it bides well with my portfolio as VOO currently forms the biggest part. It is currently at all time high of $286.43.
I also signed up for a new roboadvisor service, Syfe. I didn’t invest much, I put in $250 and received a $10 deposit bonus. I’m yet to be convinced that roboadvisor services are reliable long-term and cheaper than me investing myself.
My new strategy would be investing the bulk of my savings on ETFs and treating the roboadvisors as bonds in my portfolio. Since I’m investing rather aggresively, I’d be putting 90% into index funds and 10% into bonds.

Niu Technologies (NASDAQ:NIU) and Agora Inc (NASDAQ:API)

UPDATE So far in 2021 biggest winners have been NIO, BILI , PDD, XPEV, GDS, NIU, HMI, 1810:HK. While my biggest losers are OCFT and 1833:HK. Hence, I'm going to do a little write up on some of the interesting Chinese stocks (Some of which, I have small positions in). My goal is trying to replicate my previous successes (hopefully not failures). In this bull market, it's kind of hard to actually lose money. Who knows till when it will last though. For the remaining of the Chinese Ox year, I'm still bullish with the Chinese market and I don't seem to be the only one. Niu Technologies (NASDAQ:NIU) They have recently announced that they are in a negotiation with Gojek (The biggest ride hailing service in Indonesia). Source : Chinese electric scooter maker Niu to supply Gojek: Reports Indonesia is also a big motorcycle market (I should know, I'm from Indonesia). It seems to be a backdoor in trying to grab market share. Indonesia has its own brand of e-bike (Gesit) which ...

December 2019 Portfolio Update

There was a 100-for-16 right issue by Ascendas REIT in which, I managed to purchase an excess quantity of 1558 unit at @2.63. This should net me a tidy profit of $600++ if I were to sell the excess quantity. It truly came as a surprise as the right issue was oversubscribed at 136.4%. As I previously bought through Maybank Kim Eng Monthly Investment Plan which they discontinued this year, the excess rounded up my holdings. Oversubscribed Ascendas REIT right issue Aside from the right issue, I also purchased 800 units of Ascendas REIT at $2.91. The right issue placement is supposed to be yield accretive hence I am quite confident in its future. December Portfolio Update I have just realised that my total investment in StashAway almost reached $10,000. Being a ‘kiasu’ kind of guy, I will be reducing my contribution to StashAway and in the midst of looking for bang of the buck robo advisors. Reason being, I am currently in the midst of referral promotion which...

How to fund your Tiger Brokerage account and start trading

So, recently I got wind of a new brokerage opening in Singapore. They offers competitive commission and under current promotion a free stock if you deposit at least S$1000 during account opening. Don't get your hopes up too much though as I only received a single F  (Ford). In case you're interested to open a new Tiger Brokerage account, you can use my referral code for a free stock  Referral Code Link They're backed by Interactive Brokers and it also seems that they're using Interactive Brokers back end. It can get quite confusing for new users so I will try to give a tutorial on how to deposit money into Tiger Brokers. 1. Go to " Me " and Click on " Account Summary " 2. In Account Summary screen, click on " Fund Deposit " 3. Here in the Deposit screen, we have to select the currency that we want to use for funding. I'm choosing SGD as I only have SGD bank account 4. In "Remittance", it will only display the bank and account ...
