Share Investment February 25 part 2
Here are the average dividend yields on cost for shares that have paid out dividends:
The overall dividend yield on cost weighted by invested amount is 5.0% (vs 5.1% in previous review), excluding the 2 share counters mentioned above.
There are 15 share counters with dividend yield (on cost) less than 5% (number of consecutive years of this low yield in bracket):
- Capland Ascott (1)
- CapitaLandInvest (1)
- ComfortDelGro (5)
- Delfi (1)
- Frasers L&C Tr (3)
- IFAST (6)
- Keppel DC REIT (3)
- Mapletree Log Tr (3)
- Micro-Mechanics (1)
- Parkway Life Reit (5)
- Raffles Medical (3)
- SGX (5)
- Sheng Siong (3)
- Singtel (3)
- UOB (6) (at 4.9%, it's very close to 5%)
UOB's dividend yield of 4.9% is good since it's a bank. iFAST's low dividend yield is more than compensated by its huge unrealised capital gain but I might pare it down further. Parkway has been been increasing DPU each year. I will sell ComfortDelGro and SGX. I will also sell First Reit as its historical annual dividend yield for past few years was around 4%.
Here is the average cost of each share counter compared to its then prevailing price as at 28th February 2025:
Here's the breakdown of my portfolio according to percentage of amount of investment in each share counter:
Nothing stands out significantly and so that's good.
Here's the breakdown of my portfolio according to market value as at 28th February 2025:
iFAST still stands out. I am still not adding more to it and paring it down occassionally.
