Portfolio A - Locked and Loaded!

In my last post I was mentioning that the first portfolio was not 100% completed because we were pending a few trades.
Now it's all good. See below:


Portfolio is already a tiny up (not including brokerage fees which I will discuss in another post), which makes us happy :)



I also downloaded a free Android app to follow the performance of the portfolio which is quite useful.
The app is name Stocks Portfolio and built by HexaHis, you can find it HERE.
If you know a better one feel free to share. It's not 100% accurate on the portfolio valuation and I believe it's because of decimal point issues.

That's all for today! Thanks for reading!

Let us introduce you to our two portfolios!

Hi everyone,

First a quick introduction. The intent of this blog is to share our findings and investments on various markets (but more specifically Singapore)  with the target to achieve revenue growth of our portfolio and get a steady dividend income, or to make it short:


After saving for quite some time we thought it might be a good idea to invest into other assets than property. This is why we started looking at equities and high yield equities which would help us combat this terrible inflation that we can observe on a daily basis, just going out to the supermarket or going to the restaurant.

We will share our thoughts and allocations on two portfolios :

  • Portfolio A for Alessandra  - a traditional High Dividend Yield portfolio
  • Portfolio B for Bridget - a mix of high growth stocks and high yield dividend stocks
Lets try it to keep it sexy! Go Girls!



Portfolio A already got into two phases. One first selection of a few high yield stocks:




Before completing a bit more the portfolio which currently looks like this:


* In red: Order pending execution.

As you can see those are mostly high yield stocks. We wanted a diversification in the portfolio across different industries and with no overweight (nothing above 20%). Value of the portfolio is at S$15850.

As for Portfolio B, it's still under construction but here is a first draft:


Still some overweight we need to figure out. Value of the portfolio is at S$10605.

We will detail in other articles the different choices that led us to build those two portfolios. Time for me to turn off the light!

Hope you will find some interest on this blog.

Cheers!
