Mar Dividend/Interest received is about SGD $8.2k. Total Q1 Dividend/Interest received is $19.2k which is short of the 20K projected due to 2 counters with dividend cut to 0%. However, this is still a 14% increase compare to Q12022. Portfolio YTD gain drop to 4.7% as US bank crisis in March has adversely impacted all my portfolio except HKSE counters.
I have increased small stakes in international stocks like BTI and BABA but sold off AVVIY and MO. I have also bought quite a bit of international dividend ETF IDAP (LSE listed) . As disclosed in Feb, I am focusing in increasing dividend ETF in 2023 as opposed to picking individual stocks to reduce dividend cut risk.
On the SGX front, I bought back digital core reit at 51 cents after selling it for 64.5cents in Feb because I still have the USD sitting in my FSMOne account. It turned out to be a bad decision as digital core reit continue to fall to 41 cents low after another bad news that its second largest tenant which contribute 22.6% of its rental revenue is heading toward a financial issue. It was a mistake again that I thought I got a good bargain which turned out to be a dud as there were many telling signs why its stock price has been crashing down. I probably have to hold this for a few month to assess the reit manager next move.
