On 17 April, I mentioned that I checked Google Analytics to see how my blog was doing and was surprised to find that one of my earliest posts made last Christmas Eve was the most viewed post of my blog. It was a post that I made about six counters I am vested in and would recommend to anyone who is interested in building up a high yield portfolio.
Out of curiosity rather than necessity, I decided to take a look at the portfolio to see how it has performed since:
Saizen REIT: This was 15c at the time. The last done price was 17c. Gained 13.3%. Income distribution to resume in mid 2010.
AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT (MI-REIT): This was 20.5c at the time. The last done price was 22c. Gained 7.3%. XD 12 Feb: 0.1868c which is a yield of 0.91%.
LMIR: This was 51.5c at the time. The last done price was 50c. Lost 3%. XD 17 Feb: 1.6c which is a yield of 3.1%.
First REIT: This was 80c at the time. The last done price was 87c. Gained 8.75%. XD 28 Jan: 1.91c which is a yield of 2.39%.
Suntec REIT: This was $1.34 at the time. The last done price was $1.38. Gained 2.99%. XD 29 Jan: 0.318c which is a yield of 0.2%.
SPH: This was $3.60 at the time. The last done price was $4.15. Gained 15.3%.
Assuming that an investor had put in an equal amount of money in each of these six counters on 28 Dec 2009, he would have gained 7.44%. He would also have an average yield of 1.1%. Total returns of 8.54%. Not bad for a 4 months period (28 Dec to 23 Apr). Since inflation is expected to be about 3% this year, this portfolio has beaten inflation by now.
The allure of such a portfolio is that very little time is required to maintain it. Buy in at fair prices as indicated by the charts and simply hold until a time when the technicals turn negative. Regular streams of passive income happening in the meantime would make an average person quite happy. Such a portfolio is perfect for anyone who does not have the time, savvy or inclination to trade the market.
It would be interesting to see how this portfolio would do after a 12 months period. I expect that it would look even better with all the income distributions from the REITs and the dividends from SPH streaming in over the next few months. Let's check in again on 24 Dec 2010, shall we?
