S$11k portfolio giving 11months dividends per year

I put myself in the shoes of an middle age to older person. I can doing some part time job to keep busy and to earn a little income. I want to have passive income every month. I do not like to monitor the market as I find that stressful and I might end up making wrong desisions. I want a low risk portfolio. Perhaps, at most once or twice a year, I take a look at the absolute values of the portfolio. And importantly, I do NOT want to outlive my portfolio and I would like to see the the overall dividends go up with time.

Singtel 500 shares   $1560
SPH 400 shares   $944

  1. Having a low risk portfolio is a very good strategy. You seem to be doing great with the same. All the best for your dividend investing.

  3. Does the valuation of the stocks matter? And what should we monitor for going forward to determine if we want to add more cash say every year and should we even sell?
    Thanks for your guide!

    1. yes, it does. know roughly whats the average yield for that counter and avoid adding if its on the low side
      anyway, with 8-10 counters, there would be some which appear to have a better yield than the others.
      selling, is usually not advised, unless there is something seriously wrong fundamentally with the counters. because at 11k, the lots are small, and brokerage fees etc will eat into the costs quite significantly.

    2. So in some sense, due to there being 8-10 counters, valuations would not matter as much. and once we have an idea of say the rough 10 year average yield, then we can choose to top up every year or as and when the yield is on the higher side?

    3. yes, correct. as these counters are billion $ companies, usually are very stable.
      topping up can be yearly or as and when the yield is favorable.

  4. Hi, there is little REITs in this recommendation. Any particular reason? Right issues?

    1. yes, thats one.
      and 11k is rather small to have too much diversification

  5. I believe you did not account for fees as well... some mental calculations shows 3-5% is will the fees but if it is time in the market it is a good start. will try to employ this strategy.

    1. as i have shared on a different platform, which i will gladly share here also, the brokerage fees are mostly one off.
      $10k sum brokerage fee $30
      even a weekly add of $10k. at the end of one year some $500k is added, and the fees are $1.5k which is negligible, and one off as explained above.
      of course, if the sum to be added is small, the might as well add monthly or quarterly.

  6. How would you scale and diversify this for $100k or $1M portfolio?

    1. 100k 1m 10m
      the concept is similar
      the bigger the portfolio size, the more counters one can have.
      in fact, as the counter number increase, the compounding rate goes up. and there's less stress and less need to monitor closely, as in the unlikely event of single or two counter failure, the impact to the whole is much mitigated.
