Portfolio - August 2019

Hi everyone! It has been a long time (about slightly more than a month)! We just came back from Canada recently and it was so pretty!

We flew to the USA on Cathay Pacific First Class due to the error fare

Visited the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC

Niagara Falls from the Canada side

We rented a campervan to travel around

Moraine Lake in Banff National Park (Our favorite!)

Keep a lookout for CZM's travel posts! They will take a while though because we are still pretty busy with our house renovation (there were some complications/miscommunication between the ID and carpenter -.-) and planning for our next trip (RTW). You can read more about the RTW trip here - Quick Update - Too Busy to Blog.

Our portfolio increase by 0.20% to a new high $421,644 - $7,939.82 of capital injection and $7,093.64 of capital loss. The one in blue is the StashAway portfolio, green is SGX and the total is in black.


If you prefer to look at numbers, this is the raw data used to generate the above bar graph. These numbers are as of the last day of the month.


"Cash Flow" is the amount of money being injected/withdrawn from the portfolio (buying stocks = +ve cash flow while selling stocks and collecting dividends = -ve cash flow)

SOLD
None

BOUGHT
- HKEX:3988 - Bank of China (10,000 units) @ HK$3.00
- HKEX:939 - CCB (10,000 units) @ HK$5.68


We decided to take a look at Hong Kong after months of rioting and started with the Hang Seng Index components. Similar to Singapore, there is no dividend withholding tax in Hong Kong (as corrected by both Evilbdboi and maru in the comments - there is a 10% withholding tax on H shares), so we filter by looking at companies >5% dividend yield that will be sustainable. Soon we were left with a few big names and interestingly, we realized the valuation of the banks was more attractive as compared to Singapore's banks (lower PB, higher yield, etc.).



As you can see, the payout ratio is at a low 30%+. Comparing other metrics, CCB's and BOC's non-performing loan is at 4.4% and 5.1% vs DBS at 6.9%.


We eliminated HSBC because their payout ratio was much higher. Anyway, these are H shares (China stocks listed in Hong Kong) and when you compare it with the A shares (listed in either the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges), it seems to be "discounted/cheaper" too.

    2. Posted to quickly, did not see EvilDboi wrote the same thing. Here is an article in the south china morning post explaining the tax: https://www.scmp.com/article/972570/hk-holders-h-shares-pay-10pc-dividend-tax

  3. Dividends from your bank of China holdings will be subject to 10% tax. This tax is levied by China on HK listed mainland companies. Div yield still attractive though.

    1. Hi maru,

      Yes, still attractive. lol. I did a quick calculation. Even with a 10% withholding tax, assuming constant dividend, the yield on cost for both CCB and BOC will be around 6%.
