2022 Final Thoughts
This will be the final update for 2022, kinda late I know. I’ve previously updated the Freedom Fund to capture all my dividends, yield and market value of the portfolio. If you haven’t seen it, you can find it hERE.
In 2022 we had a pretty good run, the Freedom Fund wasn’t too badly hit and is almost back to its old self. REITs are back up and my darling Scientex has been performing. Banks which I’ve added to the portfolio as well have been holding the Freedom Fund afloat. Added FPI (thanks to research and recommendation from my good friends) to the portfolio and it has had a pretty good run both in capital gains and dividends.
Major disappointments were – TENAGA (which I’ve sold half of my holdings) and CYPARK (which I’m down 40%).
Still got RM100K+ in the war chest and I’ll be looking to either deploy it in local stocks or to my US portfolios – Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF (VOO) via Rakuten Trade or my eToro portfolio.
And last but not least, happy CNY everyone! Hope the year of the rabbit is good to all of us!

Bought more SCIENTEX when it dipped. Sold half of my TENAGA holdings as well. I’m starting to dislike how the company is run. GLCs… Hopefully it’ll change in the future.

It looks like profits are back up for both Nestle and IGB REIT, both of whose dividends came in for May.
The dividend yield for 2022 is close to 2% already and hopefully, we can get back to a 4+% yield within the next few years.

The markets are in a downturn right now. I’ve been slowly adding my money to Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF right now through Rakuten Trade. Individual stocks in the US and also locally are currently on hold because I want to try and catch the bottom. DCA will happen through my investments in the ETF.
Stay strong everyone and remember to stay invested, this might be a long dip but it is still an opportunity.

Remember the IGB preference shares I opted for back in 2018? They’ve been redeemed early by IGB at close to their original price, been receiving 4.3% annually for 3 years and I’m a little sad to see it go. =(
