Member Portfolio Audit | Principal (Age 60+) | EP1631🦖

Everyone talks about “over‑concentration” like it is a tech‑stock problem, but the most concentrated portfolios I see now are in DBS, OCBC and one or two “safe” property names. On paper, this looks conservative: two big banks, a few REITs, maybe an old family counter that has been in the drawer for 15 years. When I line up yield, gearing and fair value, what I actually see is one clean engine quietly subsidising several assets that no longer earn their keep.

If you are in your fifties or sixties, planning to live off dividends, this gap matters more than the headline STI level or what your broker calls “blue chips”. A bank stack paying above 5 percent can feel comforting until you notice that 10 to 15 percent of your net worth is stuck in names that fail even a 3.2 percent forensic floor once you adjust for debt and valuation drag. The question I ask in this episode is simple: if your DBS and OCBC payouts stopped tomorrow, which positions in your portfolio would you still defend with conviction?
