Portfolio Review 1Q10

This is to track the performance of my stock portfolio over the course of the year.

Currently, I am holding onto 6 counters:
  1. FrasersCT
    • Buy
      Upcoming acquisitions of NP2 and Yew Tee Point (achieved) -> increase in DPU
      Suburban malls near MRT stations mean non-discretionary spending by catchment populations -> stable DPU
  2. Suntec
    • Buy
    • Upcoming Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade + Promenade Circle Line MRT stations catalysts
      Retail strength in central CBD area
      Only mixed office and retail REIT -> diversification within a single REIT
  3. PLife
    • Buy
      Low gearing -> possible debt-funded acquisitions (achieved) w/o share dilution
      Resilient healthcare sector -> stable DPU
  4. Starhill
    • Buy
      Announced acquisitions of David Jones building in Perth, and Starhill Gallery and Lot 10 in KL
      Retail strength in prime Orchard area
      Share price near placement price -> downside probably limited
  5. GuocoLeisure (2012 portfolio)
    • Buy
      Possible privatization by Quek Leng Chan
      Hospitality strength in London and oil royalties from Australia Bass Strait
      Proxy to hospitality sector
      Possible 2012 London Olympics catalyst
  6. Saizen warrant (2012 portfolio)
    • Buy
      Probable DPU resumption in 2010 -> possible share price re-rating by market
Next portfolio review due after 30 June.

Note to self: NAV includes realised P/L, fees and dividends. Performance vs. STI measures only paper value.

i came across your blog while doing reits research. i think there are other yielders you can add towards your portfolio.

for one thing dividends from telco is much better than reits i feel.

Hi drizzt,

Wow very comprehensive write-up on the 3 telcos!

According to

http://yieldstocks.reitdata.com/

the telcos' dividend yields are in the range 4%-8%. So from the pov of yield, the numbers are lower than my current basket of reits, although one can argue that reits are essentially debt-funded (not desirable for some people).

Next, from the pov of stock price catalysts, for me, the effects of recent regulation on the pay tv segment and of the impending NGNBN on market shares of the 3 telcos are uncertain.

Sometime last year, I was very keen on telcos, but couldn't make up my mind on which one to add. Perhaps when the market pulls back and the telcos' share prices correct to a more acceptable level for me, that will be my buy signal...

PS. this blog was initially set up as a joke and the first class title is my friend's way of poking fun at me, so just disregard it, cheers :D
