My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Sep 2026)

No transactions were made.

My total portfolio market value slipped from $598,051.35 at the end of August to $579,339.26, a drop of $18,712.09 (-3.1%). I did not buy or sell anything this month, so this is purely price movement. Last month's $598k is still the highest month-end value I have recorded. The $600,000 mark is now about $20,661 (3.6%) away.

September is a busy REIT month, and it was the third highest dividend month of 2026. It came in behind May ($5,704.40) and March ($4,568.70, which beat September by just $1.18). 

I have collected $23,140.50 so far, just $85.32 short of the whole of 2025 ($23,225.82). That is 15.0% more than the same nine months of 2025 ($20,124.26). I will likely surpass last year's total dividends collected in the month of November as it is unlikely that I will collect any dividends on October.  

Compared with the end of 2025 ($536,301.12), the portfolio is up $43,038.14 (+8.0%). Roughly $15k of that came from net purchases this year, so about $28k is market gains.

My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Aug 2026)

Transactions made:

- Sold 2,500 units of Cent Accom REIT at $1.16
- Bought 200 units of UOB at $42.1    

Centurion Accommodation Reit is a stock that I wanted to sell off since its IPO as I had received too small an allocation during IPO. It did not make sense for me to monitor this stock considering the allocation and  I am not familiar with this industry and its prospects. With AI and Humanoid Robots, how would this industry be affected, I was not too sure too. It was either I added more post IPO or I sell the entire allotment. I decided to sell it.

I have been waiting to have all 3 local bank stocks for the longest time. This time as UOB stock has the lowest valuation and I have some faith that our local banks including UOB will still continue to do well, I decided to nibble on it so that I have a small portion of UOB in my portfolio. While I admit that its valuation looks relatively high, this is just a nibble and I am prepared to buy more should it go down or the market crash. 

I am also glad that I managed to continue to add fundamentally sound stocks into my portfolio. My last purchase was in May. So it has been a good 3 months. 

Frankly, I am excited to see how this portfolio will be at the end of this year and more importantly, at the end of 10 to 20 years from now? Will it be resilient enough to weather the market downturns and the future trends? Will I be nimble enough to quickly make decisions and act on them?

Only time will tell.
