With the recent pandemic, many investors are now warier with regards to their portfolio and are now seeking stronger “safe havens” to anchor down their portfolio. Companies with strong MOATs and predictable cash flow can help provide a steady stream of income even in times of a recession. VICOM (SGX: WJP) is one such company that fulfills these requirements.

Business Model
VICOM is Singapore’s leading provider in vehicle inspection and technical testing services. The Singapore law mandates regular vehicles be inspected after your vehicle is 3 years old, after which the vehicle must be inspected every 2 years.
