Transactions made:
- Received 175,582 units of Sembcorp Marine (This is due to Keppel Offshore and Marine combination and the asset co-transfer, as well as the distribution of Sembcorp Marine shares)
- Sold off 175,500 units of Sembcorp Marine at $0.12
- Added 200 units of Mapletree Ind Trust at $2.3255 via scrip dividends
- Added 150 units of Lendlease Global Commercial REIT at $0.6788 via scrip dividends
There were many transactions this month, but majority were as a result of corporate actions and not deliberate purchases made using warchest. I was disappointed that none of my orders to add Ascendas Reit and CICT were fulfilled.
I have no luck in recent T-bills too. I have not managed to get allotted with any 6 months T-bills since mid Jan 23 and my laddered T-bills from Aug 22 had matured since Feb 22. As these safer instruments were purchased mainly using my wife's warchest, her warchest has been growing. ps: The stocks above are mainly my portfolio, not hers.
I hope that the month of Apr will present opportunities for me to grow both my wife and my portfolios.
