Regression to Trend

 

Regression to Trend: Another Look at Long-Term Market Performance < source :https://www.advisorperspectives.com/>


"About the only certainty in the stock market is that, over the long haul, overperformance turns into underperformance and vice versa. Is there a pattern to this movement? Let's apply some simple regression analysis (see footnote below) to the question.

Below is a chart of the S&P Composite stretching back to 1871 based on the real (inflation-adjusted) monthly average of daily closes. We're using a semi-log scale to equalize vertical distances for the same percentage change regardless of the index price range.

The regression trendline drawn through the data clarifies the secular pattern of variance from the trend — those multi-year periods when the market trades above and below trend. That regression slope, incidentally, represents an annualized growth rate of 1.88%."

Is the Stock Market Cheap? < source :https://www.advisorperspectives.com/>






Every dog has his day ! STI rebounded strongly in 1st Qtr 2021 and outperformed most of the regional index. 
With sectors rotation from growth (TECH ) to value stocks, STI can finally and proudly rebut those calling it as "Sick" Times Index. But since this is just 1st Qtr of 2021 and hope the momentum would continue throughout the year. 
For longer perspective, STI still moving below long term mean level and almost unchanged as of 11 years ago on 1 Apr 2011 at around 3172. If you are investing STI ETF for the past 11 years , your returns may be just the dividend yield of around 3+%, barely beat the inflation , may be.
Hopefully those cyclical and value stocks like Big 3 banks / Jardine C&C /HK Land / YZJ/ Wilmar/ Keppel Corp/SembCorp Ind etc will be able to help to lift the index to higher level in coming quarters , of course the companies will need to show better earning results with improving economic situation.

STI = +12.8% , HSI = +6.3%,NIKKEI225 = +8.9% , KOPSI = +10%, Taiwan Weighted Ind= +12.2% , FTSE KLSI= -2.6% , S&P500=+10% , NASDAQ = +7.9%



Overall FTSE ST REIT index is quite stable and moving along the mean level. I guess the hot topic for property and REIT last month was the privatization of property arm from Capital Land and separate it to a new entity to concentrate on asset management and holding of some REITs + hospitality asset.

Below is a more detail and better explanation on the whole restructuring process from FinancialHorse.com:

CapitaLand’s Restructuring / Privatization Explained – What is going on?

CapitaLand’s Restructuring – Is this bad for the CapitaLand / Ascendas REITs? (Part II)


I actually quite like the idea of CLIM which is similar to ARA Asset Management before it been privatized in 2017 where I made almost 30% overall including dividend in investing in ARA Asset Management. I guess the idea of separating the property development and asset management is what market ( or overall SG Inventors) wanted.
I think most of us ( SG investors) like to invest for income / dividend , the new CLIM will have assets like REITs which generate stable and recurring income and also a property management where the fees / income is more stable and predictable. Temasek just take out the property development units which the revenue/profit is more bumpy and given what the market wanted to have it i.e the CLIM type of biz model.
Although we know that the dividend yield for CLIM will be lower than REITs but as mentioned by the CFO, there will be "growth" factor in this company with some of the mature assets can be recycled into REITs and also hopefully the NAV for some of their PE fund will increase eventually.

Hence, I did some small adjustment to my portfolio in reducing % of my ARA LOGOS and split the fund into Capital Land & Ascendas Ind REIT. I have been eying and targeting REITs with DC biz for quite some times but since the valuation is high and I just wait for the opportunity to come. With recent pull backed on some of the DC biz REITs by almost -20% , I have decided  to switch.

STE and Mrs. have already registered with MOH for our Covid-19 vaccination and I hope more and more peoples will get their vaccine soon when  more vaccination centres to be opened by mid-April.

Protect yourself and your loved ones. Register to get vaccinated when it is your turn!

Hope we can be the next country like Israel .....  :D



Till next update , Cheers !!

Portfolio & Dividends Update : 1st Qtr 2023

Image
 Wow, it has been almost 4 months since my last blog post/update. I am too lazy to write and spent more time watching " Netflix & YouTube "  :D, of course, doing more exercise and reading where we need to always remember that health is wealth. Also important to spend more time with your loved ones where I also went back to MY a few times to attend my niece's wedding dinner and back again for "Qing Ming" the following week. I know investing could be quite stressful sometimes when the market is volatile and seeing our portfolio value up and down so much. Therefore, spending time with family members is crucial for maintaining healthy and meaningful relationships, especially during times of stress and disorder. Family members can provide a sense of comfort and security during times of stress and can offer emotional support and a listening ear when we need it most, also let us feel less alone and more resilient in the face of adversity!! Guess you may have the sa

Portfolio & Dividends Update : 4th Qtr 2022

Image
  Time flies and as the end of the year approaches, it's a good time to reflect on the goals and targets you set for yourself at the beginning of the year. Conducting a year-end review can help you assess your progress, identify areas for improvement, and set yourself up for success in the coming year. I think 2022 was a challenging year for everyone where we have seen the market swing like a pendulum. My portfolio returns fluctuate from having +ve 11% in early 2022 to -ve 10% in Oct and rebounded slightly to almost flat as of writing. As we are approaching 2023, is time to “ take stocks” on what’s happening to your portfolio and to review your investment strategy, assess your portfolio’s diversification and rebalance your portfolio if needed. Consider your risk tolerance: It's important to be aware of your own risk tolerance when reviewing your stock portfolio. If you're comfortable with a higher level of risk, you may be able to take on more aggressive investments. On

Market Update : World Major Stock Market Regression Line

Image
Most of the world stock markets ended lower in the 3rd Quarter of 2022, as concern about rising interest rate ( FED increased the FFR by another 0.75% in Sep and indicated that they going to increase the rate by another 1.25% by the end of 2022), persistently and stubbornly high inflation , increasing geopolitical tensions (blew up of Nord Stream 1&2 pipelines , the annexation of 4 Ukraine territories ), the energy crisis in Europe, the collapse of UK Bond market after the government announced the new tax cut and of course the continuous of struggling economy situations in China ( low PMI, struggling property market, no improvement of economic activities with strict Zero Covid policy ). Commodities prices lost momentum in view of a possible ( or already) world economic recession. After pumping trillions of dollars of liquidity into the market in the past decades, the world central bank is facing all the above, most unprecedented challenges in recent world economic history, guess

Renounceable vs Non-renounceable Rights Issue ( Edited )

Image
< Edited : 17 May 2018> Wow! another Non-renounceable Preferential Offering from Manulife US REIT ( here ) "The Issue Price of US$0.865 per New Unit represents a discount of approximately 7.9% to the volume-weighted average price of US$0.9391 per Unit for trades in the Units done on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) for the full Market Day on 15 May 2018." I still prefer the previous rights of "UNDERWRITTEN AND RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE, a  21.6% discount " ... but it seems that the " Non-Renounceable Rights " will be the new trend now. ... image credit to mrbachelorinvestment.blogspot.com < First published : 14 May 2018 > Recently, it seems that more and more companies are choosing to issue “ Non-renounceable Rights ” in an equity fundraising activities instead of “ Renounceable Rights “ .
