CPF MRSS: dollar for dollar matching up till $3,000

 




Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS) was announced in Budget 2020.











Before you got too excited, sorry to let you know that NOT everyone is eligible for MRSS.





You can check your eligible via CPF website.



Benefit of MRSS if you are eligible:

1) Dollar for Dollar matching up till $3,000 (Cap at $600 / year)



2) 4% int rate for CPF RA

3) Power of compounding. Build up to increase your CPF Life monthly payout amount



4)  Your love one can enjoy tax deduction if they top up to your RA account for you

(For those who are eligible for MRSS, majority of them pay little or no tax)





Extra tip to milk this scheme to the max: Do your MRSS as early as possible (Best is in JAN)




I done my part to top up $600 to my mother RA today and will be doing the same till 2025.

FIRST REIT: Buy & Sold 83,200 shares within 3 days (Part 3)

 



Bought 83,200 shares of FIRST REIT on 13 Jan at $0.24

Sold 83,200 shares of FIRST REIT on 15 Jan at $0.255

Average price per share dropped from $1 -> $0.64 -> $0.58 (Remain same capital cost $48,000 amount). 




First Reit released their Full Year result yesterday 14 Jan.

Result is within expectation, nothing surprising if you have been following their announcement update since 2020.



Why I sell it today?

The uncertainly outcome of the EGM on 19 Jan.

If EGM got the Green light, high chance I will be able to buy at near 20 cents from open market.

If EGM got rejected, high chance the share price will drop further.

Given the risk reward ratio, safer to stay on the sideline and wait for the EGM result.



For existing shareholders who intending to keep this stock in cold storage [due to massive loss :( ], you might want consider selling at least 60% of your holdings on Mon (last chance) before the EGM to lower your risk.

If EGM got the green light, at least you have the capital to subscribe to rights (including excess).

If EGM got rejected, at least your lost amount is lower (assuming share price will drop further).

Objective for doing so if you want to lower your average share price like what I am doing.


If you are lost on this post, read this and this first.

SIAS - First REIT Virtual Dialogue Session key highlight

SIAS - First REIT Virtual Dialogue Session was conducted on 7th Jan 5pm.



You can view the recording here and Q&A here.



Key Highlight

3 main issues:

  • First Reit foresee that Lippo Karawaci (LK) will default as LK have been in negative cashflow since 2015 [LK contribute 72.1% of rental income]
  • Unable to refinance as Bank are not lending due to concerns over LK (Deal breaker)
  • Soon to expire of 5 Master lease by end 2021

The board had looked through all options such as divestment of asset and concluded that rights is the best options due to the short timeline.

Legal procedure option will be lengthy (Time), Costly and Complicated.

Divestment option will not be ideal as bid price received will not be attractive due to COVID.

New operator option is not ideal as existing infrastructure might not suit new operator 

  

Rights is urgently needed, else LK will have a vey high chance of default.




If approval was not obtained during EGM (to be held on 18 Jan Mon):

There is no Plan B 



Post rights (If approved during EGM):

Gearing will drop to 34%

No loan repayment in 2021

OUE Limited might have a near 60% ownership if assuming they take up all the unsubscribed rights, thus resolution 2 is needed for.

Restructure, Recapitalization and Reposition to become FIRST REIT 2.0



FIRST REIT 1.0 (Current) --------------------------> FIRST REIT 2.0 (Post rights)

Concentrated risk                                                                 Diversify

Potential default                                                                   Avoid default

WALE 7.4 years                                                                    WALE 12.6 years

Uncertainty                                                                            Clarity 

Lack of confidence from shareholders                               Instill shareholders confidence

Performance appraisal of my 2020 portfolio

 My KPI for 2020 is to achieve minimally $6,985 of dividends (See post). 


Actual amount for 2020: $12,299.71









Aside from hitting my dividend target amount, my portfolio market value also crossed $200,000 in April & $300,000 in Nov this year.

Double HAPPINESS!!!





Since my portfolio had crossed $300,000, I should revised my yearly dividend KPI.
5% dividend per year seem to be a good & fair %.

For my 2021 KPI, it will be change from $7985 (Target amount set in 2016) to $15,000.

FIRST REIT: 75,300 -> 0 shares (Part 2)

 


SOLD 75,300 shares of my FIRST REIT on 4 Jan 2021 at $0.265




If you didn't read my "Increased my FIRST REIT from 48,000 shares to 75,300 shares" post on 31 Dec, please read it first as this post is a continuous of it. 



After buying back 75,300 shares at $0.23 on 31 Dec, there is a huge buy volume today.

The highest price today reached $0.27 just before noon.



Why I sell it today?

A simple reason is $0.265 is 33% higher than the rights price of $0.20


Will I buy back in future?

Yes and No, depending on the price.

If it goes up higher, I wont be doing buy back.

If it goes near to $0.20, I will be doing buy back.




Every investment have a price tag to it.

Even one of the most basic phone Xiaomi Redmi 9A have a price tag of $140 today.


What is the share price of FIRST REIT will make you hit the BUY button?

Realistic is the keyword to the question as First REIT own Hard Assets.
