Why you should keep a Blue Chip Stock in your Portfolio?

It is always said that don't judge a company on its short-term performance, focus on its long-term performance. When we are focusing on long-term we tend to think about the fundamentals and quality of the companies. But when we are choosing stock picks and  investing for short period we only look out at variations and swings of the company's stock price which will lead to the poor result and poor portfolio. The daily fluctuation in stock prices is not a clear picture of its performance.

In any case, if our investing time span is estimated in decades or even ages, we will be compelled to consider the things that issue: The long haul prospects of a business; the pioneers behind an organization; and the estimation of a business. We need to put resources into organizations that have items or administrations that won't wind up out of date in the following couple of years – in a perfect world, we need organizations with organizations that can flourish.

To make a balanced portfolio or a good share investment, investors should trust the local securities exchange operator, SGX (Singapore Exchange Ltd) and it should be in investors stock portfolio.

Why you should keep a Blue Chip Stock in your Portfolio?

Choose Singapore Exchange in view of three basic inquiries, which are roused by extraordinary compared to other financial specialists on the planet, Warren Buffett. The inquiries are:

1) The company you are investing in, is easy to understand?

2) Does the company have a strong competitive advantage?

3) Will the business still be around for a considerable length of time to come?

Singapore Exchange has a business that is easy to get it. It gives listing, trading, clearing, settlement, depository and data services. The Singapore exchange is likewise the world's most liquid offshore market for Asian subordinates. Besides, 36% of the organizations listed on the Singapore Exchange are overseas firms, which is a strong point to SGX. When we compare the Singapore stock market with other exchanges like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange just has 6% in non-Chinese firms while the United Kingdom's London Stock Exchange calls only 19% to be non-UK organizations.

Because of Singapore Exchange's size and scale, it would be relatively incomprehensible for anybody to attempt to overturn it. This trademark gives the organization its tough and strong competitive advantage.

Generally, for finding out the company's durable competitive advantage in quantitative terms, one easiest way is to check the ROE (return on equity). As a rule, a company that has a background marked by creating great ROE while utilizing next to zero debt has a high possibility of having a strong competitive advantage. In FY2017 (Singapore Exchange has a 30 June year-end), the firm had an ROE of 33.6% with no debt.

Another approach to knowing whether an organization has a strong competitive advantage takes a check out at its net overall revenue. A high net overall revenue, for the most part over 20%, demonstrates that the firm has a supportable competitive advantage. For FY2017, Singapore Exchange had an advantageous net overall revenue of 41.9%.

As per SGX stock research, Singapore Exchange is probably going to be around numerous years from now as it assumes a pivotal part in Singapore's status as a money-related center point. The organization's solid balance sheet with S$800 million in real money and zero debt (starting on 31 March 2018) should empower it to ride through the different economic cycles. Moreover, the bourse's three specialty units of Equities and Fixed Income; Derivatives; and Market Data and Connectivity cover the whole trade esteem chain, offering to ascend to expanded and strong income streams that ought to be applicable for a long time to come.

Final Thought-

Investors should focus on the long-term investment and care less about the short-term performance of the company. Singapore Exchange ought to be kept permanently in your portfolio. In any case, before you claim a bit of the business, you ought to guarantee that its present valuation bodes well for you.
