Portfolio Update
Fully Divested my position in Suntec Reit - sold 12,000 shares to lock in a 5% net gain for holding 4 months
added 5,000 more shares of FCT - Yield 5.9% Price to book 1.02
Currently holding 20,000 CMT and 15,000 FCT - Pretty much done shopping on retail reits
will look out next for commercial reits MCT and CCT
happy reit shopping ^_^
additional comments on why I divested suntec reit... I felt that their results for 2016 was poor, even thou DPU was maintain at 10 cents level 10% came from capital distribution while 90% was from existing assets
secondly I also had worries of their MBF assets which make up around 10-15% of portfolio (rough guess)... valuations seems very high at under 4% cap rates... also income support was ended thus the sharp drop in net property income of close to 10%... suntec holds a 1/3 stake along with keppel reit that holds the other 1/3.. I looked at keppel reit's numbers and it was horrible...
given that I was sitting on a decent gain on suntec reit with dividends already collected, I decided to be safe and lock in the profits
Half the proceeds was used to purchase FCT, while the other half will sit in my warchest as I look to make another shot... probably aiming at MCT
I previously sold 5,000 FCT at 2.08 so I am pretty happy to buy it back at 1.98
effectively its a 4.5% gain from "shorting" my own stock FCT
lastly quick update on my overall portfolio
