Singapore Equity Strategy - Revisiting Our Top Picks; Stay Defensive

  • After delivering 6.5% in returns this month, STI’s forward 12.7x P/E is now closer to its historical average of 13.3x. With elevated economic uncertainties, we believe there exists downside risks to STI’s earnings.
  • Investors should stick with REITs, which should benefit from the likely decline in interest rate. Consumer is our preferred defensive sector.
  • Cache Logistics Trust replaces Starhill Global REIT and Oxley Holdings replaces HRnetGroup in our Singapore Top Picks.



Replace Starhill Global REIT with Cache Logistics Trust.



Oxley replaces HRnetGroup.



Economic uncertainties prevail.

  • The STI gained 1% after last week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting confirmed a rate cut possibility. There has also been some optimism on the resumption of trade talks, with a likely meeting between the US and China at the G20 summit. While this may have calmed investors’ nerves temporarily, the long-term outlook is still unclear.
  • Uncertainty still prevails on Brexit, while tensions have risen in the Middle East between Iran and the US. While few expect a war to break out, President Trump’s tweet suggests that it is not completely off the table.


Stick with a portfolio of defensive stocks.
