NOTE
I have changed my BASE to include CASH as the larger denominator (Base) will give a more conservative performance figure (when making $$). The weakness of the previous base (which excludes cash) is that the Performance will be "enhanced" if I were to sell a lot of my stocks, thereby resulting in a smaller denominator (base).
Portfolio Breakdown
My portfolio (at cost) of S'pore stks for Q412 close,
Summary
The STI closed at 3167.08, +19.68% from end 2011. Using cost as a reference, my portfolio stats (vs 2011),
- Size : -2.25% (Cost) / +30.05% (Market Value)
- Portfolio Performance vs End-2011 Mkt Value : +26.93% (Unrealised) – 1.89% (Realised Losses) + 5.32% (Div) = +30.35%
- Further Breakdown of Realised Profits : -6.43% (Stocks Bought before 2012) + 3.45% (Stocks Bought in 2012)
- Portfolio Composition
- Small Caps : A new category that's driving the Capital Gains + Yield but may result in higher risk during recession
- Yield Stocks + REITs : Reduced as Yield Drops due to Rise in Price
- Infrastructure : Eliminated those that are Highly Geared
- Shipping Trust + Junks : Got rid of all as looks increasingly unlikely to recover
- Cash : Increased due to difficulties in finding suitable stocks
So, +30.35% vs +19.68% (STI), better than STI. Quite unbelievable, hard to repeat in 2013!
