Equity Income Portfolio trades
Recommendation
The Intelligent Investor Equity Income Portfolio has reduced its holding in Trade Me by 2.0 percentage points to 6.6% (at $5.32) and its holdings in ASX (at $51.51) and Virtus Health (at $7.92) each by 1.0 percentage points, to 6.3% and 4.3% respectively.
It has used the money (and some cash) to increase its holding in Commonwealth Bank by 3.0 percentage points to 5.2% (at $71.60) and its holding in Westpac by 1.5 percentage points to 3.8% (at $29.55).
Trade Me remains a Buy and we're very comfortable with it. However, its weighting (at 8.6%) was well above our 6% recommended maximum. Commonwealth Bank and Westpac are both Holds, but close to their Buy prices and they're well suited to an income-focused portfolio due to their high fully franked dividend yields.
