Sun Tzu said,
" Subjugating the enemy' s army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence."
" Thus the highest realisation of warfare is to attack the enemy' s plans."
The ' enemy' is going to disrupt and attack our plans.
So keep them secret.
Shhhhh. No telling our trading plans. Walls have ears. Share Junction have eyes.

The Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF is the world&rsquo s first ETF that tracks the APAC financial sector.
Singapore, 11 April 2024 &ndash On 13 May 2024, OCBC Securities and Lion Global Investors (LGI) will list OCBC Group&rsquo s fourth ETF in less than four years&mdash the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) &ndash on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). OCBC Securities has co-launched the highest number of ETFs among brokerages in Singapore, in response to increasing demand by investors. The assets under management (AUM) of SGX-listed ETFs almost doubled from S$5.49 billion in 2019 to S$10.6 billion in 2023.
The collaboration between OCBC&rsquo s asset management and brokerage subsidiaries reinforces OCBC&rsquo s One Group corporate strategy and it is the world&rsquo s first ETF that tracks the performance of Asia Pacific (APAC) financial services companies. This comes on the heels of three other popular ETF listings &ndash the Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF, Lion- OCBC Securities China Leaders ETF and Lion-OCBC Securities Singapore Low Carbon ETF &ndash that have a combined AUM of S$445 million as of 2023.
Stable dividends, strong capital gain potential
The ETF will appeal to investors looking for consistent dividend yields. APAC banks have consistently paid high dividends amounting to at least US$130 billion in the last two years and have dominated other regions. Investors in this ETF will receive a minimum dividend payout of 5% per annum1 of the Issue Price for the first two years distributed on a quarterly basis.
Financial services companies and dividend-yield plays are popular among OCBC Securities customers. As at end 2023, more than a third of these customers have invested in stocks of financial services companies both in Singapore and internationally.
Besides generating stable income for investors, the ETF holds strong capital gain potential as APAC financial services companies are poised to benefit from Asia&rsquo s growth story and resilience. According to a report by the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, global wealth is projected to exceed US$500 trillion by 2024. APAC&rsquo s financial services companies are expected to benefit from the growth as the region accounts for over 40% of these funds.
The Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF tracks the iEdge APAC Financials Dividend Plus Index, an index that was developed by OCBC Securities, Lion Global Investors and SGX. It includes 30 of the largest and most tradable APAC financial institutions by free-float market capitalisation, with a focus on consistently high and sustainable dividend payouts. The index is rebalanced semi-annually. Investors in the ETF will therefore gain exposure to high-performing banks, insurance, and investment services companies listed in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Singapore&rsquo s local banks are index constituents, with other notable names including Commonwealth Bank of Australia, KB Financial Group, China Construction Bank, Sumitomo Mitsu Financial Group and Public Bank.
The Initial Offer Period (IOP) for the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF commences today, 11 April 2024, and will end on 3 May 2024. The ETF will be listed on 13 May 2024 and is available in both Singapore dollar (SGD) and United States dollar (USD) denominations under the SGX tickers YLD and YLU respectively.
Mr Wilson He, Managing Director of OCBC Securities, said, &ldquo Despite the challenges faced by Asian markets in 2023, such as high interest rates, inflation, and China' s sluggish economy, this year holds promise in financial markets. To enable investors to capitalise on these prospects and tap into key investment opportunities in the region, we have introduced the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF.
We expect this ETF to be well received because of its unique proposition &ndash stable dividends, combined with the good growth prospects that stem from its APAC focus. Moreover, ETFs have long been popular among our customers at OCBC Securities. Income focused investors will find this ETF particularly attractive.
This innovative ETF is the result of yet another strong collaboration between OCBC Securities and Lion Global Investors. Given that we are both part of OCBC Group, the objective of our collaboration has always been to bring the global markets to local investors. This marks the fourth ETF that we will be listing on the SGX, and we are confident that it will mirror the success of the previous three ETFs.&rdquo
Mr Teo Joo Wah, Chief Executive Officer of Lion Global Investors, said that the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF provides investors quick and easy access to a basket of high dividend yielding financial stocks in APAC. &ldquo We know that investors are now weighing their investment options more than ever, amid the rising inflation and changing investment landscape. The launch of this ETF is a testament of LGI&rsquo s commitment to bring innovative and cost-effective ETF solutions to meet the evolving and diverse needs of investors. Investors who want to invest in companies with low carbon footprint can invest in our Lion-OCBC Securities Singapore Low Carbon ETF while our Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF provides investors exposure to Chinese technology growth stocks. The Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF is a good building block for yield seeking investors and is an important addition to LGI&rsquo s shelf of ETF products.&rdquo
How to invest in the Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financials Dividend Plus ETF
Investors can subscribe to the ETF during the Initial Offer Period through the participating dealers &ndash OCBC Securities, FSMOne Singapore, Phillip Securities, Tiger Brokers Singapore and Maybank Securities. OCBC customers can also invest in the ETF through OCBC ATMs, mobile and online banking by 2 May 2024, 12pm. The minimum subscription quantity is set at 2,000 units and there is no application fee. Each unit of ETF will be at the issue price of S$1. Once the ETF has been listed on SGX on 13 May 2024, investors will be able to trade via their brokers and trading platforms.

Pandas investment rule nine
Ask ourselves, what industries do banks mainly support?
Property, REIT, technology, you name them.
Go for what banks support as the next tiers in whatever proportions one is comfortable with.
So buy up the entire market (minus banks) in the levels above the foundation of banks.

So, for example, if you use nine triangles to replicate your investment portfolio triangle, you could put say, 5 triangles representing banking and finance as your base, then 3 triangles representing technology on top of the five at the base and finally the top triangle could well be gold.
The relative numbers of triangles represent the relative proportions of the industry allocations.
Remember the principle of diversification? This is practiced with some over-weightage in certain more critical sectors, like banking. Why? Simply, the banking industry supports almost all industries.
One could also adopt 16 triangles by adding another base of your choice. However, the principle of laying a solid foundation for your subsequent layers must be remembered.

Dream about triangles tonite!
Why?
Because they illustrate investing principles.
Invest with a base - panda' s rule no 4.
See the base of the triangle? That is your so called foundation. And that is where you should put your biggest proportion of your investment to form your base so that what you build on it will be stable.

I searched ion the internet and found:

 
 
Stacking 9 equilateral triangles of similar sizes to form one triangle.

Investment rule 7 of panda
Trade stealthily, not with trumpet blasts.
Don't let your positions be known. Accumulate or sell quietly and inconspicuously.
That is pandas way.

Investment rule six.
Have a certain distance from your investments.
Staying too close to them gets us emotional and clouds our judgement.
Let others talk about it while we listen and reflect.
Pandas do so from trees while munching on bamboo.
