With our Milestone #1 review now over, we took time to contemplate our conviction on each stock and will be making some changes to The Smart Dividend Portfolio.
The Smart Dividend Portfolio is around 5.1% as of 6 August 2020. That compared to The Straits Times Index (SGX: ^STI) which has plunged over 19% since we bought our first stock. We are reasonably satisfied with the performance, but this is no time to be complacent.
The Smart Dividend Portfolio will be reaching a milestone this month. We will complete the first leg of building our portfolio to 15 stocks. But our run does not end here. Read on to find out more.
We are happy to see that the portfolio is at the verge of turning green. But we will be the happiest if we manage to build an enduring portfolio that can keep paying income to support ourselves and our families.
Whilst it is still early days yet for the vaccine programmes, eventually, many people around the world should be able to fight off, and eventually put this awful pandemic behind us.
