Jan 2026 Portfolio Update

January 2026 Performance:  

Generated a profit of SGD 15,000, representing a 2.6% gain.

2026 Dividends (Year-to-Date):  

Accumulated SGD 1,700 in dividend income.

I continue to focus on optimizing my portfolio of Hong Kong and Singapore dividend-paying stocks. These markets currently offer attractive valuations and high dividend yields. Given the evolving global macro landscape, I believe international capital may increasingly rebalance toward emerging markets—including Asia—in search of yield and value.

The AI-driven internet sector, particularly Hong Kong-listed technology companies, stands to benefit significantly from long-term structural trends. While the U.S. is home to leading AI innovators, their valuations remain elevated and less compelling from a risk-adjusted return standpoint.

Meanwhile, metal commodities are in the midst of a sustained bull cycle. Gold, silver, copper, and aluminum are being supported by both supply-demand imbalances and accommodative central bank policies. Agricultural commodities may follow a similar upward trajectory as these macro tailwinds persist.
