My Investment Portfolio - SG (End Mar 2021)

Transactions made in the month:

- Bought 4,000 units of Mapletree Ind Tr at $2.61
- Sold 800 units of DBS at $28.93

- Got 7,500 units of Astrea VI3%B310318 at IPO (received more than that, other units were alloted to other portfolios

What a ride it has been for STI, it is now at 3,178 levels. I made several transactions including selling some of my DBS shares earlier in the month. I added on Mapletree Industrial Trust and was still queuing for more at $2.50, but the order did not get fulfilled. I had several buy orders for shares such as Raffles Medical, CityDev, CDG that were also not fulfilled. In the end, they all went up. I am not sure whether will I chase them or just be patient. It really depends on the context as the market sentiment is changing rapidly on a daily basis.  

As for Astrea VI3%, I was alloted 15,000 units. I decided to alloted half of it to other portolios (my spouse and children). Many retail investors state that the yield is too low. While I agree to a certain extend, I felt that this will help me diversify my portfolio further. Moreover, in the past when I suggested using Singapore Savings Bond (SSB) as a emergency fund, many felt that the interest rate of slightly above 2% was too little. They wanted to time and enter at a higher interest rate. Look at the current interest rate for SSB, its even lower than 1.5% now. 3% yield for Astrea VI is still good, just do not put all your cash into the same holding. 

I still have some funds to be deployed out to the market. I have been monitoring the foreign market and considering whether to shift these funds to foreign or local market. I had made transactions this month in the foreign market too. Will update them sometime next week.
