September 2018 - Yaruzi's Portfolio Update

September was an exciting month. Keppel Corp & SPH joined forces to offer $2.06 a share to take M1 private. It's a smart move for them to make such an offer when M1 traded near it's 5 year low. Looking at the last closing price of $2.11, I thought it would be unlikely for the other M1 major shareholders to accept the offer price. A bidding war might just be on the card. It's going to be interesting, though I may not be as excited as B from Forever Financial Freedom or STE from STE Stock Investing Journey, as my M1 holding is only 0.49% of my total portfolio.

Another Singapore telecommunication player, Starhub, announced that it would make a change in it's organisation structure that could result in layoffs amongst it's 2,500 employees in a bid to stay "agile and lean", ahead of new challenges, disruptions, and threats.

Portfolio value was $691,935.99 as of end September with $4,000 fresh fund injected. Return YTD was 1.91%, XIRR YTD was 2.63%, while XIRR since inception increased slightly to 5.83%. Equity allocation increased to 43.06%, while bond/cash allocation was 56.94%. Total dividends of $1,176.66 was received in September.

    1. Thanks STE ... monk doesn't need to be the opposite of the warrior. The monk(ey) warrior, Sun Wukong, is an example that both monk and warrior can co-exist in the same persona.
