Portfolio updates for Sep 2018

I bought a new REIT counter into my portfolio. I bought 700 shares of Capitaland Retail China Trust (SGX: AU8U) at a price of $1.43 each. I actually was eyeing this stock for awhile and it did go down to $1.40 but I bought it at $1.43.




I like that it has a price to book ratio of 0.848 which is lower than 1 and a gearing of 32.1%.

Capitaland Retail China Trust portfolio includes 10 properties in China.

I have been wanting to include more REITs into my portfolio in an attempt to increase my dividends. My overall portfolio now as seen below:

 

STI ETF is currently my biggest proportion followed by Singtel. Design Studio was actually a significant proportion of my portfolio as well but due to its drop in price, it has a reduced proportion in my portfolio currently. I hope to continue to build up my portfolio in the years to come.
