Portfolio – Q415

 

Portfolio Breakdown

My portfolio (at cost) of S’pore stocks for Q415 close,

Note : Stocks are arranged in descending order of % holdings

 
Summary

The STI closed at 2882.73, -14.34% from end 2014. Using cost as a reference, my portfolio stats (vs 2014),

• Size (Stocks Only) : +6.20% (Cost) / -3.71% (Market Value)
  
• Portfolio Performance (Includes Cash) vs End-2014 Mkt Value : -8.63% (Unrealised) + 1.90% (Realised) + 4.92% (Div) = -1.82%
  
• Further Breakdown of Realised P&L : -0.27% (Stocks Bought before 2015) + 2.17% (Stocks Bought in 2015)
  

So, -1.82% vs -14.34% (STI), better than STI but still a loss…

Q415 remained tough for stocks…. Although STI recovered a fair bit in Oct-15 from the Sep-15 lows, it got hit by the Paris terrorist coordinated attacks in Nov-15 and fears of US Rate Hike finally arriving in Dec-15… My major activity in Q415 was collecting dividends… which helped to reduce my losses to <2% for the year….

For Q116, I’m hoping to become more active once I get re-attuned back to the market. With rate hike having become a reality and the weak Singapore economic outlook, it’s going to be a challenge… I’ll likely focus on REITs (refer to talkstock blog as I’ll be adding to the tables which’d appeared to show a 2-year cycle) & Yield Stocks (better able to recover from economic shocks).
