Investment Decision Journal

A dated record of changes in conviction, ranking, portfolio action and research architecture. The purpose is to distinguish changes in facts from changes in price, sentiment or research scope.

Multi-market publication structure established

Decision: Keep SGX research active while preparing separate JPX and US market sections.

Existing research from prior chats will be refreshed before publication. The homepage will show migration status rather than naming stale or artificial placeholder picks.

Rankings separated by market

Decision: Do not publish a global ranking until SGX, JPX and US research has comparable freshness and price assumptions.

Quality, valuation and expected return remain separate. Cross-market capital allocation can be added later as a deliberate portfolio decision.

18 July 2026

Initial SGX ranking established

Ranking: Food Empire → Sembcorp → Singtel → Stoneweg Europe → Alpha Integrated REIT → AIMS APAC REIT.

Food Empire ranked first for balance-sheet-adjusted organic compounding. Sembcorp ranked second for valuation-driven upside. Singtel was classified as the lower-risk core option.
