Smart investors don’t put all their eggs in one basket, and Mr Yeo Khee Seng Benny can be said to be among the wisest.

He is also one of the top 20 largest securities account holders of Malaysian furniture manufacturer, Versalink Holdings.

The company services international ships coming into Singapore and other regional ports.

Mr Yeo is also one of the 20 largest registered shareholders of Kim Heng Offshore & Marine Holdings, owning 3 million shares or 0.42%. Kim Heng is a Singapore-based integrated offshore and marine value chain services provider involved in offshore rig repair, maintenance and refurbishment, as well as fabrication, vessel newbuilding, painting and blasting.

Alpha Energy is another such jewel in Mr Yeo’s investment crown — likewise headquartered in Singapore, the company develops oil and gas assets of proven and proven & probable reserves such as Alaska’s Mustang oilfield.

Shaking things up a little in Mr Yeo’s portfolio is his ownership of 1.62% or more than 2.1 million shares of Versalink Holdings, whose system furniture products and services reach over 40 countries in Australasia, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and North America.
