As mentioned in the initial post on a football team of stock, the team seems to be a tad too defensive for my own liking. With that realisation, I tweaked my allocation ratio of dividend to income from 60:40 to 50:50. This has been translated into immediate actions over the past few weeks as I divested some income counters and accumulated more international growth stock.
With the adjustment, the following image shows the new team.

Besides the above starting 11, the followings are on the bench.
Mapletree Industrial Trust (4.0 % @ $2.04)
Hongkong Land (3.9% @ US$7.31)
Straco (3.2% @ $0.82)
Mapletree NAC Trust (3.2% @ $1.16)
Mapletree Logistic Trust (3.1% @ $1.32)
Mapletree Commercial Trust (3.1% @ $1.58)
Booking Holdings (2.1% @ US$2005)
Verdict: 8/10
Feeling better with this updated line-up. A stronger team and stands a good chance to do well in the gruelling stock league for the next few seasons.
* Today (31/8), Tencent suffered a hard tackle today and might be injured. Short term’s performance will be affected but long term he should continue to play a vital role for the team.
