[SINGAPORE] As the Singapore market has become more dynamic, I have increasingly turned to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to manage my exposure to locally listed stocks.
Many fundamentally sound stocks that I had purchased years ago – such as ST Engineering , Singapore Exchange (SGX) and OCBC – have rallied so dramatically since the pandemic that they no longer appear all that attractive to me.
On the other hand, some stocks that I had avoided for years because they appeared to be going nowhere – such as Keppel , Sembcorp Industries and Singtel – have unlocked value and repositioned their businesses, and delivered very strong returns.
