  Stockcafe Transactions: - Added 2,500 units of CapitaLand Investment at $2.81 I have been eyeing CapitaLand Investment since it was formed and listed after the demerger from the development business of CapitaLand Limited. For those who remember, this happened in September 2021. I had practically given up hopes on having a holding in this share, until my price alert was triggered after Lunar New Year. On Valentine's Day (14 Feb), I decided to queue for it and my ordered got fulfilled! Such is the wonders of price alerts, there is no need to monitor shares constant ..read more

This is a long post. Previously, I had shared about how my Special Account (SA) had reached Full Retirement Sum (FRS), the interest I received in CPF for 2023 and my CPF strategy.

Transactions: - Added 4,000 units of Mapletree Log Trust at $1.54 I never expected to make any buy transactions in January. But when my T bills applications kept being unsuccessful coupled with current T bills maturing, and Reits going down again, I decided to deploy my warchest. A few stocks that caught my eyes include Mapletree Industrial Trust, Mapletree Logistic Trust and Raffles Medical.  For Mapletree Industrial Trust, it is already my biggest holding, hence I decided to add only if it goes lower.  For Raffles Medical, with foreigners returning and the fact patients ..read more

2023 CPF Interest of $11,134.61 and top up CPF MA to the new BHS

1 January is always an exciting day. Not because it is the start of the new year, but because it is the date where we can all check how much CPF interest we have earned in the preceding year.   I received $11,134.61 in interest from CPF for the year of 2023. In 2022, I received $9,281.95 in interest. The MA interest was adjusted into OA as my SA had already reached Full Retirement Sum (FRS).  With MA Basic Healthcare Sum (BHS) being increased to $71,500 from $68,500 in 2024, I did a $3,000 cash top up to my MA on 1 January.  Hence, my MA is now back at BHS level (i ..read more

  Extracted from Stockcafe Transactions: - Added 150 units of Mapletree Log Trust via scrip dividends at $1.437 My portfolio no longer hover between red and green. It is now green due to the recent rally by stocks and mainly Reits. The market has, as usual, been very forward looking. Take a look at the CME Fedwatch Tool on the interest rates probabilities below. The market has rose, especially Reits, pricing in expected interest rates cut in 2024. In fact, the market is pricing in interest rate cut of 0.25 on 20 March 2024 and an interest rate of 3.75 to 400 by end 2024. It ..read more

2023 was a year where investors track the inflation rate and speeches of the US Fed bank members closely. From inclusion to exclusion of certain words, it made a big difference. My portfolio is in the green as Reits have recently increased due to expectations of rate cuts in 2024. As of time of writing, my portfolio value is $361,431.80 compared to my capital $349,768.24. If all goes well, when the rate cuts come in, my 2023 purchase of Reits will help pull my portfolio up. But history has shown that life is not so simple and things may not go as planned.  Click image to enlarg ..read more

My CPF Strategy - Reached Full Retirement Sum (FRS) of $198,800 in 2023

Everyone of working age would have definitely have heard of Central Provident Fund (CPF). At individual level, they either love it or do not like it. Those who do not like it may feel that it is a forced saving and fear policy changes impacting the scheme or even that it is a scam. In some cases, they may have been misinformed. Whereas those who love it understands the benefits and maxmises it.  I used to belong to the camp that did not like it mainly because of the fear of policy changes and I felt that I could earn more through investment rather than have the money sitting in CPF&n ..read more

  from stockcafe Transactions: - Given 1,240 Keppel Reit bonus share by Keppel Corp (1 Keppel Reit for every 5 Keppel Corp) My portfolio is currently hovering between red and green (i.e. unrealised loss and unrealised gain), which I find quite exciting as it means there are more opportunities for me to consider adding stocks.  Reits have gone up in terms of price and I felt that the price of Raffles Medical is more compelling. But I have not added it yet.  This month, I had also submitted my notice of election for Maple Logistics Trust to opt for partial scrip dividends ..read more

  Transactions made: - Added 2,500 units of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust at $1.77 - Added 2,000 units of CapLand Ascendas Reit at $2.53 My portfolio turned red on 19 Oct 2023 and it was the signal for me to purchase something, especially if the stock is fundamentally sounded. Hence, I nibbled on Ascendas Reit on 20 Oct. I am so grateful that I am using stockcafe as it allowed me to easily track my portfolio on a daily basis (e.g. when my portfolio turn red or green, how red or green it is, track dividends, payout of dividends).  I had also added CapitaLand Integrated ..read more

  Stockcafe Transactions made: - Bought 2,500 units of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust at $1.89 With this purchase, this marks my first purchase into CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT). I used to have CapitaMalls Asia which includes local malls in its portfolio 9 years ago. However, it was delisted. CICT's portfolio is more diverse as it includes office, retail and integrated development. It is not really defensive due to its office portfolio which is why I had been so reluctant to add it until I had a bigger portfolio.   With the dividends i ..read more
