Half Year Review of My US / HK Portfolio Performance

Time really flies. It seems just like yesterday when I made the first step investing into the US and HK stock markets as part of my plan for geographical diversification as mentioned here.

 

An equally important reason for doing so is because I wanted to add in some growth element into my overall portfolio approach and naturally I turned to the huge potential in these markets.

Notwithstanding the above, my SGD income portfolio is still an important part of my overall investment strategy because it provides a good and stable base for me to 'fight' it out in the overseas markets.

 

In a nutshell,

SGD Income Portfolio - Solid base of regular dividends

US and HK Portfolio - Exciting capital growth
Syfe Core Growth portfolio - Separate passive growth basket

However, this post will be excluding my Syfe portfolio which I am building up separately.

Today marks the half year mark of me depositing my first funds for the overseas market and hence I felt it would be appropriate to do a quick review on my performance so far.

Total Capital Invested: S$20,000

Current Return at Point of Writing: S$22,882.52

Total Realised & Unrealised Profit: S$2,882.52

Well, slightly over 10% returns in 6 months. I can't say I am satisfied with this since just 1 - 2 weeks ago I was looking at about 20% returns.

 

Nevertheless a profit is always better than a loss.

 

This decline can largely be attributed to two main reasons as follows:

 

1) Couple of PUT options which I closed out early with a loss this month as I decided not to take assignment for now. Perhaps I will write more about this in my monthly update for July.

 

2) The fall in share price of the chinese stocks in recent days. 

 

From the beginning to now, I have pivoted from dabbling in a mixture of Growth + "meme" stocks to mainly Growth + Mega Caps + Options now.

 

My current holdings (excluding option positions) are as follows:

 

Microsoft (MSFT)

Apple (AAPL)

Didi Global (DIDI)

BABA (9988.HK)

AMC Entertainment (AMC)

Blackberry (BB)

Sundial Growers (SNDL)

The latter two are free stocks won from some contests in moomoo.

 

Moving forward this shall remain my strategy. Hopefully when I do my first year review the returns will be much better!

Lastly, just sharing my referral links as below for moomoo and Tiger Brokers, both of which I am using.

If you like to sign up for these brokers I would greatly appreciate in you using my link to sign up. Cheers!

Have You Taken Advantage of moomoo's June Promotion? (Updated 6th July 2021)

I started using moomoo back in April this year and the more I use it, the more I like the platform over the others.

 

Apart from the free Apple share and welcome bundle, there are so many tools to explore, updated news for a quick catch up, short courses to attend and a very interactive forum for discussion on your stocks with other users.

 

Another feature that I like is the ease of earning points to redeem stuffs like limited and peripheral products as well as Futu coupons.

 

Last month I've blogged about my redemption of a money box for my kids here. It took some delay due to Covid but finally the money box is here!

 

It might be still early to teach my kids about investment. But it's never too early to inculcate in them the importance of saving for a rainy day.

It took 9,888 points for me to redeem this money box (it has since been increased to 12,000 points) but like I mentioned above, it is not hard to earn the points.

 

It doesn't even requires frequent stock trading. In fact I only traded stocks 3 times so far since most of my transactions are in Options.

 

Just to share some tips on how I accumulated my points.

 

 

Try to complete the Ach. and Growth Tasks which are not hard at all. Also do sign in daily and do daily tasks like reading news and do some paper trading.

It's as simple as that.

 

moomoo June Campaign

Coming back to the June promotion which runs from 1st June - 2nd Aug 2021, 2000 hours.

 

The welcome bundle for new account opening is largely the same as previous campaigns which I've shared here and here.

 

1) 180 days commission-free trades for the US, HK and SG stock markets.

 

2) Free access to Level 2 market data for the US stock market.

 

3) Free access to Level 1 market data for the SG stock market.

 

4) 1 x free Apple (AAPL) share. 

5) 1 x free Nio (NIO) share*. 

* The added bonus here is that after depositing the minimum S$2,700 and upon unlocking Level 1 trading badge or completing 5 trades, you will receive your free Nio share too.

 

You can use my referral link to sign up for the account opening if you wish to start enjoying the benefits.

 

At this point of writing, one Apple share and Nio share is worth US$139.87 and US$50.23 respectively.

 

In other words, you will be getting around S$255 just by doing a few simple steps mentioned above.

If you ask me, it is easy money and a no brainer honestly.

Summary

03 May 2021 STI Open: 3,184.76

31 May 2021 STI Close: 3,164.28

 

As a guidance for my investment plans, I mentioned in my last update that I would place closer attention to this month for the market's reaction to the rising cases of local Covid-19 infections.

 

STI closed below its monthly opening for the first time after four consecutive months of rise since the start of this year.

 

Beginning of a drop? I think it's still early to say but it's good to have some spare funds ready to capture any opportunities that might arise.

 

For my SGD portfolio, value dropped by around $3.5k with no transactions done. 

Also received some dividends from DBS and Suntec Reit this month with more to come in the next. 

Spare cash is still not fully utilised yet. Awaiting for opportunities, including rights issue which we might see a few in the coming months. 

There are a few bright spots among the counters in my SGD portfolio. 

1) I am really glad to see MNACT's continual foray into the Japanese market with their latest acquisition of a freehold office building in Tokyo which is expected to be DPU-accretive. 

This will continue to reduce their concentration risk with Festival Walk. 

Post-acquisition, the Japanese assets will comprise about 27% of the trust's net property income. 

However apart from the rosy side of things, I will pay more attention to the gearing level of the trust since this acquisition will be partly funded by debt. 

Overall I must say I am pleased with MNACT's direction so far. 

2) For the long timer in my portfolio, SingTel, it has quite a number of happenings in recent times. 

Firstly, the new CEO announced the new strategic direction to drive the company forward. 

Secondly, there is a voluntary tender offer for its Thai subsidiary, AIS.

It is nice to see offers like this to unlock value be it for the subsidiaries or fixed assets.

Competition in the telco market is getting stiff. ARPU are getting lower.

To regain the former glory and to achieve greater heights, the way I see for SingTel to move forward is to transform itself into a technology company.

Of course the telco business is still an essential and defensive one that SingTel should continue with. There are so many things that can be done using 5G technology for the IOTs. However tech-based business should be the main driver for the company moving forward.

By the way SingTel is the first to launch a standalone 5G network in Singapore recently.

It's great that SingTel has gotten the digital banking license. Enormous potential there as a revenue driver and a tech-based one at that. However the new business takes time to gain traction and that is one of the reasons why I am holding on to my SingTel shares.

I can write a whole thesis on this but that will be on another day.

The new strategic direction focusing on three main tenets actually partly resonate with my views above for SingTel's transformation.

The first tenet to realign its core business towards capturing 5G market share and the second which is to develop new growth engines in ICT and digital services are good drivers in my opinion.

However I would very much like to see SingTel becoming another SEA or Grab. These are companies truely leveraging on technology to provide services to the mass market.

Just look at Grab. It is no longer a car-sharing platform. Rather, it has gone on to build an entire ecosystem of its own including payment service, loan, insurance, food and document deliveries.

The third tenet to unlock the value of its infrastructure assets is timely and logical for funding of the digital banking venture.

I suspect SingTel will reward shareholders in the form of special dividends too. Fingers crossed.

For my Syfe Core Growth portfolio, I am seeing a small positive return so far. Would be more meaningful to see the returns and review the portfolio when it turns one.

 

Have DCAed into this portfolio yesterday and plans to continue this strategy every month end.

For my USD portfolio, I have not done any intraday trading this month.

 

One of my counters briefly hit 'freehold' status before dropping slightly. As of now I am sitting on 81% gain but that is all on paper.

 

Collected S$372.70 of option premiums this month with the expiry of 3 Puts and early closure of one in Palantir and Pinterest.

 

Other than these, I have sold another Put this month for JD.com, expiring 25/6/2021 with a strike price of $69 and premium of $1.14.

 

Lately it seems harder to find decent premium in the options space but that is probably due to my style of only trading in companies that I don't mind holding.

Moving forward I will continue to use options as part of my investment / trading tools to augment my investable income. 

No, have not touched cryptos yet.

 

That's it, a longer update than usual. Got all excited whenever I write about SingTel.
