Local Stock Portfolio Log (August 2014)

So, being a blog on personal finance, I was trying to post a portfolio update of the local stocks I have. However, the first roadblock I ran into here is trying to figure out how to display tables in blogger.

After running around the internet trying to figure it out, here goes...

Looking at the portfolio composition, I'm aware that I am pretty heavy on industrials as well as REITs. I'm looking to diversify into more consumer non-cyclicals in order to have slightly more stability in the portfolio, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find fairly priced consumer non-cyclical stocks in Singapore. Am holding on to a few overseas stocks in that category, however they are in small amounts compared to what I am holding locally.

For additional information, I am using DBS Vickers cash upfront primarily to buy my stocks, and they are held in the CDP. I understand that Standard Chartered's fees are a lot lower, but somehow I like the idea of keeping my local stocks in CDP instead of StanChart as a custodian. I am using StanChart to hold my foreign stocks though.

I will be updating on my foreign stocks in time to come. Thanks for reading!
