You probably have this in mind,

“What’s 3 blue chips doing here when I purchased a subscription service for small|mid cap growth stocks?”

That’s precisely why we also released this special report called: “3 Blue Chip Stocks for the Long Haul”.

We truly believe that strategic asset allocation is crucial for any investor. You shouldn’t whack everything in small cap stocks and suffer a massive drawdown when the tide turns.

Neither should you sell your house to buy Bitcoin (pun intended) like these people here .

Anyway, back to the topic, while we are advocating the benefits of small cap stocks (due to their lack of coverage and greater potential for growth), big cap stocks still offer the form of stability that cannot be replaced.

More importantly, in this report, we are digging into 3 Blue Chips that have demonstrated a strong showing in the past and will continue to do so in future.

These 3 stocks are also included in the STI Index as of Dec 2017. Want to have a guess what they are? They are NOT :

• ComfortDelgro – faced disruption from the incumbent which has seemingly ‘unlimited’ funding from China's Didi Chuxing, Japan's Softbank Group • Telcos – disruption strikes from different areas (inclusion of 4 th Telco, cheaper data – Circles.Life and even free/cheap streaming shows with the likes of Amazon Video and Netflix) • Banks – While they have had a great run primarily from the impending interest rate hikes, there are a lot of fintech going on which they have to tackle from many ends. Just recently, blockchain technology has fuelled the launch of many ICOs (initial coin offerings), many of which want to disrupt the traditional monetary system where banks are a big part of. Blockchain technology has taken off like a rocket and who knows when the banks will get affected and to which extent.

I have no qualms if you invest in the above and think that they are going to give you higher returns in future. In fact, I also own DBS and OCBC stocks too.

That said, these 3 Blue Chip stocks we are going to show you are what we feel can be vested for the long term. They are the most unlikely to be disrupted in the near term and can continue to grow at a steady pace.

Without further ado, let’s jump into these 3 stocks below as to why they are going to be long-term winners.

1) SATS (S58.SI)

In case you aren’t aware, SATS has been around for >65 years and become Asia’s leading food solutions and gateway services company.

• Incredible Track Record: SATS has grown steadily over the years through various acquisitions like V Food Industries (the one serving our Army food!) in 2009 to grow its non-aviation food business V A majority stake in TFK Corporation in December 2010, marking its foray into the Japanese airline catering market. V Singapore Cruise Centre to open up multiple synergies V Purchased 49% of Shares in Brahim's Airline Catering Bhd , allowing it to supply food to Malaysian Airlines and others operating out of KL International Airport. • Accelerating Global Air Travel: SATS serve food to passengers in the airplanes. With more and more people travelling around the world, SATS is riding on a solid trend. I do not foresee that people will stop travelling around the world even if there is a global financial crisis or something, just like what is shown in the picture below.

• Steady Growth in Revenue and Net Profits

• Exciting Growth Prospects: V Provide catering services to Turkish Airlines in 2018 V Extensive JV with Airasia for ground handling in Malaysia, with potential expansion into Indonesia, the Philippines and in near future V Opening of Changi Terminals 4 and 5 translates to a massive tailwind for SATS 2) Land (H78.SI)

Contrary to its name, doesn’t just have properties in Hong Kong.

Instead, Hongkong Land is the largest real estate company listed in Singapore and owns some of the most valuable assets in Hong Kong and Singapore. The company also has a property development arm in multiple markets in Asia.

• Recurring Income: Hongkong Land acts like a commercial properties owner with a property development arm. Hongkong Land’s robust portfolio of investment properties generates revenue for the company day in day out.

This is very different from other property counters listed where they bank on the property developments to prop up their earnings. When the developments come to a stall during a property slowdown (due to government intervention or something), the companies’ finances start to take a massive dip.

• Pristine Balance Sheet:

Hongkong Land possesses a strong balance sheet with strong free cash flow and profitability. If you look closely at the graph above (no need for any figures here), its fixed assets and investments together form up at least 70% of the company and beats the debt hands-down.

• Founded in 1889 : Why is even considered as a benefit? Yes, at least to me. Surviving and thriving for the past 120 years gives it great credibility for it to continue to do so. I don’t foresee physical offices in prime locations to disappear or be impacted just because of any new technology.

• Winner among its Peers: Using a price-to- book (P/B) ratio is the most relevant measure of value given that Hongkong Land is primarily a property investment company.

Sourced from Shareinvestor.com

By comparing against its property peers (CapitaLand, UOL and CityDev), we like how its P/B ratio is the lowest with a decent 2.7% dividend yield. On top of that, the dividend payout ratio is only at a mere 8% of its earnings, which means that it can hike its sustainable dividends by 5x and still be able to grow steadily provided everything stays constant. 3) ThaiBev (Y92.SI)

Thai Beverage started out as a pure spirits and beer business, when it was first listed in 2006. Since then, it has been aggressively expanding into non-alcoholic beverages and foods, as seen from its takeover of one of Singapore’s best-known food producer – F&N in 2012.

With that, Thai Beverage became the Asia’s largest beverage company with namesake brands such as Magnolia, 100 Plus, Chang Beer and more. It even bought over 240+ KFC outlets in Thailand. • Significant Insider Ownership:

Sourced from Annual Report 2016

Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi and his spouse, collectively own more than 65% of the company. His son, CEO of the firm, Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi also owns 0.43% of the firm.

• Clear Vision: They unveiled a 6-year strategic roadmap for the companies in order to have 50% revenue coming from international sales by year 2020.

• Resilient and Growing Top & Btm-line:

Sourced from Shareinvestor.com

F&B companies like ThaiBev don’t get affected much during economic downturns (check out year 2009 to 2010). In fact, their sales probably will increase due to more people drowning their sorrows in beer!

Anyway, ThaiBev’s top and bottomline are both very resilient. Even if they may fluctuate in between years (i.e. 2015 to 2016), the general trend is up. In fact, its profits have seen 8% annualized growth over the past decade. An added bonus is that the expansion in its earnings margin.

• Growth by M&A: As previously mentioned, I like how ThaiBev has a very clear vision and they are embarking on an acquisition spree across Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, what’s next?) V Acquisition of 75% interest in Grand Royal Group provides ThaiBev with direct access to 60% share of market, 2 production facilities and wide distribution network in Myanmar V Up-ing its F&B range in Thailand by purchasing 76% stake in Spice of Asia Co. and 252 KFC stores V Expansion of overseas distribution network via sealing the Sabeco deal in Vietnam
