Received the following dividends in this week for my Cash portfolio :-
$18.00 Mapletree Logistics
$100.00 Sembcorp Marine
$112.50 SingPost

Reduced Far East Hospitality Trust 1 lot so l have total holding of 6 lots now; for a $16 nett gain. Based on previous week's investment costs in it so it's a 1.8% returns.  For the remaining 6 lots holding l can expect 5.9% dividend yield per year, as "forced" passive income stream with the chance of collecting its dividends in advance now much reduced due to current uncertain economic growth globally and Middle East conflict.

Invested into CapitaRetail Trust 1 lot in this week under Cash portolfio.  Its share price is very near to its 52 weeks low which was last established 25 June.  And during that time its share price recovered to end July by 8.5%.  Will its share price making the same recovery in the next one month; no can tell for sure.  Based on my investment costs in it l can expect 7.0% dividend yield per year.

Invested into CapitaCommercial Trust 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio which is an all-Singapore based investment properties.  Ongoing asset enhancements for its properties (Capital Tower, Six Battery Road, Raffles City Tower) will see increases in future DPU, usually.  Based on my investment costs in it l can expect 6.0% dividend yield per year.


Divested Perennial China Retail Trust 2 lots for a $25 nett gain. Based on previous week's investment costs in it so it's a 2.4% returns.  This is a much higher returns when comparing to bank savings rate for an investment amount of $1k over one week duration. Will re-invest into it when its share price weakens further.

Bid goodbye to Sin Ghee Huat 3 lots in this week under my cash portfolio for a $61 nett gain.  It goes XD on 29 Oct and payment date 14 Nov so l have already collected its dividends ahead by two months.  Expected dividend amount is $54 = 3 lots x dividend rate $0.018 so the $61 nett gain is much higher.

Divested away AIMS AMP Industrial Reit 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio for a $28 nett gain after 1 week of investment into it.  Assuming that its next dividend rate same as last year at $0.025 and payment date around 20 Dec so the $28 nett gain was slightly higher than the expected dividend amount  ---> 1 lot x dividend rate $0.025 x 1.11 times.  And l have already collected the dividends in advance by almost four months and also l can re-use the proceeds for other investment opportunity.

Added Ascott Reit 1 lot in this week.  So my total holding in it now at 2 lots.   Based on my investment costs in it l can expect a 6.9% dividend yield if l am really stuck with my investment in it.

Donated $25 to Equal Ark in this week

My investment increased in Far East Hospitality Trust 1 lot so l have total holding of 7 lots now.  Based on my investment cost in it l can expect 6.0% (based on run rate) of annual dividend from it.  This Trust is all-Singapore based hotels and serviced residences so it will be interesting to see how well it can withstand the ongoing adverse micro and macro events locally and globally.


Re-invested into First Reit 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio after having divested it away in the previous week with nett gain higher than the forecasted dividend payment in Nov'13.  I did the same for this week.  I have divested my 1 lot holding in the same week for $25 nett gain versus expected dividend payment in Nov'13 of $17 (1 lot x dividend rate $0.0168).  So l have collected its dividend in advance by three months and at a higher amount too.  It is very important to set an exit selling price and l have attained peace of mind with my stock investment.

Invested into K-Green Trust 1 lot in this week and it comes with an annual dividend yield of 7.7% based on my investment costs in it.  Its current businesses have been locally based so far.  Having gut feeling that it will spread its wings to Asia Pacific and Europe soon.  It will be confirmed once there is new  company incorporation.

Received the following dividends in this week for my Cash portfolio :-
$40.81 Ascott Reit
$42.94 Cache Logistics
$108.20 CDL Hospitality Trusts
$39.40 Keppel Reit
$112.45 Suntec Reit

It must have been hasty move when l have invested into KrisEnergy 2 lots in this week without further verifying on its potential dividend payout;  which l later found out that they do not have intention to pay any dividend.  l was lucky to have been able to divest it away for a $38 nett gain.  I am not into trading or speculation and also not so keen with growth stock so l am depending on reasonably good dividend stock.

Added Mapletree Industrial 1 lot under Cash portfolio for this week so l have total holding of 2 lots of it now.  In its recent 1Q2014 results, it reported higher distributable income which was higher by 9% versus year ago because of higher rental rates secured across all its property segments and achieving higher occupancies.  Based on my investment costs in it l will be getting dividend yield 7.1% per year.

Invested into OUE HTrust 1 lot.  Using dividend rate $0.0477 ( for 9 months financial) from its IPO prospectus and based on my investment costs in it so l can expect annual dividend yield of promising an annual dividend yield of 7.4%.  First dividend payment will happen some time March 2014.  l am eyeing an advance dividend from it, probably using a few round of investments and divestments.

To diversify further, for this week under Cash portfolio l have invested into Perennial China Retail Trust 2 lots.  If l hold it for long term then l can expect 7.5% dividend yield per year based on my investment costs in it.

I am not sure whether it was a risky decision when l have invested into Sabana Reit 1 lot in this week.  At the moment there is no new development yet on the four master leases expiring in Nov'13.  I am hoping that it will not materially affecting my expectation of 8.2% dividend yield per year based on my investment costs in it.     

Allocated a small investment funds into Sin Ghee Huat 2 lots in this week.  My total holding in it now at 3 lots.  It reported poorer results versus year ago recently but l will not be worrying so much of it.  Its business served five segments :- marine and shipbuilding, oil and gas and petrochemicals, building and construction, machining and processing, and trading and others so there will always be opportunities out there for it.  I am eyeing an advance dividends from it as l have already set an exit selling price for it.

Singapore Shipping Corpn (Sp Ship) is likely to announce a dividend rate of $0.01 (same as last year) in its full year results around 22 May'13 and based on past dividends, it will XD in early Aug 2013.  For my holding in Sp Ship 10 lots, l can expect a dividend amount of $100 (10 lots x dividend rate $0.01).  I have divested all of Sp Ship 10 lots under Cash portfolio in this week for a profit of $38; collecting a partial advance dividends.  I am hoping to re-invest into Sp Ship at lower share price level. 

Just realized that Duty Free pays a very small dividend rate of $0.0025 when it announced 4Q2012 results last year.  Based on my 2 lots holding of Duty Free, the expected dividend amount will be $5 ($0.0025 x 2 lots).  So this week l have decided to collect an advance dividend from Duty Free when l sold it away for a gain of $25 or a dividend yield of 2.9% based on my invested funds in it.  l am hoping to re-invest into Duty Free when its share price is at a lower level as its current annual dividend yield is at 5.1%.

Invested into Tat Hong 1 lot this week under Cash portfolio.  Its 9M2013 is quite good though its biggest revenue segment on Distribution came in softer at -7% in 3Q2013 comparing to last year.  For 9M2013, revenue +18.5%, profit +66.6%.  For its full year financial l am expecting it to keep to its double digit growth rate on revenue and profit.  On an ongoing basis into next financial year, the only revenue segment to eyeballing for potential de-growth is on Distribution as revenue from Australia can be expected to slowing down further.  Its annual dividend is only at 2.0% so Tat Hong is a growth stock.  

I have added GRP 1 lot in this week under Cash portfolio so l have 11 lots of total holding of it now. 

CM Pacific reported full year financial of revenue +110% and profit +105%.  This is an impressive set of results but its share price comes under selling pressure in this week as l suspect investors are expecting a special dividend or a higher final dividend rate.  l have invested into CM Pacific 4 lots this week under Cash portfolio.  Its annual dividend rate of 6.1% is quite attractive indeed  A good stock to invest for passive income stream if bear market decides to pay a visit, in the coming weeks or months.

l have invested into Perennial  China Retail Trust 1 lot under Cash portfolio this week.  Will accumulate Perennial if its share price weakens as revenue (and profit) will continue to gushing in for year 2013.

Just within one week of holding onto Perennial China Retail Trust 15 lots l have decided to divest it all away this week under my Cash portfolio.  Its XD date is 21 Feb and dividend payment date is 18 March.  My nett gain of $310 have been based on exit selling price which roughly match the dividend amount of $294 (15 lots x dividend rate $0.0196).  So l have collected its dividend in advance and l am free to re-invest the proceed already.  l will re-invest into Perennial China Retail Trust when its share price weakens because revenue starts gushing in for its new financial year.

Invested into Perennial China Retail Trust 15 lots this week under Cash portfolio.  All its development projects are likely to continue progressing well and on-schedule so revenue are expected to roll-in starting from its new financial year.  This will easily cover the reduced distribution income in the next financial year which as mentioned in its prospectus.

Also in this week l have increase my holding in UMS 45 lots so in total l have 57 lots now.  Its share price has been quite stable around $0.45-$0.46 levels for some time now despite current stock market volatility so l have decided to increase my holding in it early this week.  Its decision to move some operations to Penang is a timely move in order to lower its operating expenses in its next financial year.
