My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Oct 2026)

No transactions were made.

October turned out to be another challenging month for my portfolio. My total portfolio market value fell from $579,339.26 at the end of September to $554,696.54, a decline of $24,642.72 (-4.3%). Broad pullbacks across key holdings—including blue-chip heavyweights like Keppel Ltd, DBS, OCBC, ST Engineering, and Mapletree Industrial Trust—weighed on the overall valuation this month. Singapore bank stocks were sold off sharply in early October.

This is the second consecutive month of decline. Since reaching my highest month-end portfolio value of $598,051.35 in August, my portfolio has now fallen by $43,354.81 (-7.2%), and it is the lowest month-end value since April ($552,200.43).

My unrealised gain is down from 26.9% to 21.5%, roughly where I started the year (21%).

As expected, I did not receive any dividends in October. I have collected $23,140.50 so far, still $85.32 short of the whole of 2025 ($23,225.82). I should pass last year’s total in November.

My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Sep 2026)

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.

Dividends received* during the month: $4,567.52 (Wilmar, Sembcorp, MIT, Ascendas, CapitaChina, Keppel Reit, Mapletree PanAsia Com Trust, MLT, CapLand IntCom Trust, Keppel DC Reit)
