Review of my portfolio from 1 to 7 June 2021

 Here is a sharing of my personal portfolio.

 

For the week of 1 to 7 June, it jumped to 4.25%. It has outperformed the 2800 HK Tracker Fund of Hong Kong from 23 Mar to now. The Vanguard Total World Stock ETF is up 5.95% (VT) and S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is up 6.53%. That’s why I also mentioned that it is strongly advisable to have a good global equity fund like Morgan Stanley Global Brands / Blackrock Global Equity Income, and a good US equity fund like Franklin US Opportunities or JPMorgan US Small Caps. This tracking allows me to know where my mistakes are, and correct them quickly.

 

 


XIRR is 22.73%. We are off to a good start and I hope this continues. 



 

The “catch-up” with the VT benchmark occurred when I overweighted Chinese stocks and ETF. For ETF, I added 2823 HK, or ASHR US ETF. For funds, UBS China A Opportunities and JPMorgan China A Opportunities. The old economy stocks in China (Wuliangye, Kweichou Maotai, China Merchant Bank) seem to have recovered. The Chinese tech is still lagging but appear to be bottoming up. I devised a momentum tracker of major indices (e.g. Asia ex Japan, Emerging Markets, Europe and US), and sectors (energy, mining, tech, healthcare, financial institutions). Whenever a sector or country shows positive or negative momentum, I overweight / underweight the stocks, etf and funds.

 

 



 

For country weights, I am at 73% US stocks. This is my NEUTRAL position. Singapore stocks, mainly REITS and banks, have fallen to 9.9%. Chinese equities has risen from 12 to 17% due to positive momentum.

 

 





 

Top performing stocks from 23 Mar 21 to now.

 

  1. Microstrategy because I shorted it. It holds a lot of bitcoin which I felt was over-hyped and will crash. I may close this position once I see Bitcoin stabilising.
  2. A50 shares is up 16%. This is a big position and is up 16% within 2 weeks. (try JPMorgan China A Opportunities and UBS China A Opportunities)
  3. Yum China. KFC, Pizza Hut in China. Resilient business. Clogging up the arteries and boosting cancer rates in China. I was in Tianjin a few years ago and saw street signs of KFC every few hundred metres. Got me worried about the health implications.
  4. Moderna. I’ve re-opened my position in the “King of Vaccines”. Up 13.7%.
  5. Facebook. 12.1%. Try Polar Capital Technology.
  6. Meiituan. Reopened position. Up 12.1%. It’s over-valued, pricey. But food deliveries, hotel bookings should rise due to re-opening.
  7. Energy Fund. Up 10.7%. Try Blackrock World Energy.
  8. Unitedhealth Group. Biggest healthcare insurance in the US. Try Wellington Healthcare.

 



 

 

Worst Performing:

  1. ARK Innovation. Down 15.9%. Notice my position is small. This is a speculative bet and it’s down 15.9%. small position of USD429.67.
  2. Square is down 15.8%. Again a small position of USD422.86.
  3. ARK Genomic Revolution down 12.7%. Small position of USD395.90.
  4. MercadoLibre. Down 12%. Latin America’s biggest e-commerce. I intend to add more positions. Fundamentally strong. Low debt, rising revenues and profits. Stable margins.
  5. Lemonade. Down 12%. Small position of 374.32.  Online insurance in the US.



 

Now comes the transactions for the week!

  1. Closed my Boeing shorts and went long. This is a strong company that’s on the rise. Duopoly.
  2. iShares US Aerospace. Defence spending will continue to rise in the US due to the rising China – US tension.
  3. NXP Semicon, ASML Hlg, Applied Materials. Notice I added 3 semicon related stocks to my portfolio due to momentum. This is in addition to Taiwan Semicon and Lam Research which I already own. Polar Cap Tech and Blackrock World Tech owns a few semicon companies as well.
  4. Moderna. Re-opened long position. Healthcare. Wellington Healthcare.
  5. Meituan and Hong Kong Exchange. For funds I will add UBS China A Opportunities and JPMorgan China A Opportunities.

 



 

Good luck for the rest of the week and stay safe.

My Funds Portfolio 14 Jan 2021

Image
  Below is the overall performance of my funds. For CPF, I put everything into funds. I refuse to buy SGD stocks because you should see the performance of MSCI Singapore below. In the last 1 year, the performance was down 5.9%. it is only this year that the performance went up slightly but it is still down. If I had used my CPF and cash to buy SGX listed companies I would have done at best 5% even with superior stock picking.   Look at the other indices. MSCI world is up 16.1%, S&P500 is up 18.0%, China is up 38.6%, Europe up 6.2%, MSCI Asia ex Japan up 28.2%. NASDAQ was of course the best performer with 44.7%. So the growth is NOT in Singapore. It is either in the US or Asia, mainly China. Even the best companies from Singapore are listed in NASDAQ, e.g. SEA Ltd. We have become the “forgotten man” or “sick Man” of Asia in terms of stock markets.       The average performance of my funds are 25.8%. this is unrealised return and doesn’t include realised gains. I’ve held them through

Lessons in Life

 I've worked with lots of people. Some are my good friends. I thought we could collaborate together. But somehow, maybe they found better opportunities elsewhere, decide to cast me aside and work with others. Some, don't add value but still want to be my equal partner. Others, limit their collaboration with me, denying me other opportunities.  The best way to act is to show every inch of gratitude I can to everyone. First, the one that opens doors and work with me wholeheartedly, I shall wholeheartedly contribute and ensure that the pie is greater than not dividing with me and working alone.  For those who opened a door and then decide to limit collaboration, I shall still be thankful, have gratitude. Whatever someone gives me in good faith, no matter how little, I shall still do my best.  For those who shut the door, I bear no grudges for I am thankful we have met.  This is the path I've chosen to walk, without regrets.

Performance Attribution

 My portfolio comprises stocks and funds from various gurus and teachers. Here is the description of each one. I shan't name them for fear of being accused of promoting one over the other.  Guru 1: 15 years of track record. Averaged 25% per year return. Highly transparent and informed me of every trade.  Result: from 23 Mar 21 to now.  4.8% return.  Guru 2: 10 years of track record with 30% return per year. Gives me a black box type of system based solely on momentum. Scans through the NASDAQ for the top five momentum stocks.  Result: -15.04%.  Guru 3: Internet sensation with almost 1 million followers. Personal friend. Made 3x in 2020 due to investments in speculative tech companies like SEA Ltd, Tesla, ARK Genomic Revolution, Lemonade, Square.  Result: - 13.2% Guru 4: 12 years of track record of around 7.7% return per year. Purely fundamental analysis.  Result: -28.2%.  My own: 5 years of track record of around 18% per year. Value - momentum strategy.  6.8% It appears that my pic
