For those new to investing, putting your money in a benchmark country index is one of the easiest and safest ways to begin your journey. In Singapore, the benchmark index is the Straits Times Index (STI), and there are two STI ETFs – SPDR STI ETF and Nikko AM STI ETF – that we can invest in. What Is A Benchmark Index? A benchmark index of a country usually refers to the largest and most liquid stocks listed on its stock market. In Singapore, the Straits Times Index (STI) is made up of the 30 largest (by market capitalisation) stocks listed in Singapore. Combined, these companies comprise approximately 80% of the entire market value of stocks listed in Singapore. Hence, how the 30 stocks on the STI performs is representative of how the Singapore market performs. The STI is co

This is probably the best time to travel! Countries in the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying spring while countries in the Southern Hemisphere are enjoying the cool weather that autumn brings. Besides, many travel restrictions have been lifted, giving the tourism sector a much needed relief. Where do you stay at when you’re on holiday? Where do you visit to satisfy your shopping desires? Yes! You stay in rented properties (unless you have a holiday home) and visit malls for your shopping needs.

Whether you invest for growth, dividend, value, or any other factor, most investors invest with a purpose. ESG investing is no different. ESG stands for “Environmental, Social, Governance” and ESG investors invest with these sustainability goals in mind. Traditionally, investing has always been done with financial metrics at the forefront. Investors and fund managers prize returns and the company reports have correspondingly evolved to focus on the financials. The stock markets has also evolved to have robust financial reporting requirements for listed companies. The one of most powerful choices we have as investors is where we place our money. Are you a true environmental advocate, even if you convert to a zero-waste lifestyle but your investments are in the oil and gas industry? This

But when Singaporeans talk about exchange-traded funds (ETFs),  a popular category often comes to mind — the Straits Times Index or STI tracking family of ETFs. The most well-known of the bunch is the SPDR® Straits Times Index ETF (ES3), or the SPDR STI ETF. You see, the SPDR fund was the first ETF known

Keppel was out bid by Cuscaden in SPH offer.I am happy for that. Personally, there is some synergy with the reminding stake of M1 from SPH that comes with the deal beyond property Given that the bidding is at PB 1, I dun see why Keppel cannot bid for other companies that are trending at much lower valuation,.HK land is at 0.4 PB, capitaland before restructing at 0.8, and City Dev also below 1. I do understand SPH properties are mostly investment properties and the capital-intensive part of the business is the part of the business that affect valuation, and the REITing SPH properties would have gotten most of the money back, but that is if the REIT properties can fetch valuation above 1, to worth the battle playing out now. Ascendas and MIT is at around 1.1 and 1.2 PB, I can't see

The million dollar question is what has SPH REIT got to do with the divestment of the upcoming Media segment from Singapore Press Holdings ("SPH")? The short answer to that is that we are now seeing the conversion of SPH to a true property management company (and to a smaller extent a developer like Capitaland and City Development from its development of Woodleigh Residences). There are 2 interesting developments arising from the ripple effect, that is, the (i) up and coming Student Accommodation business being injected and (ii) the possibility of new shareholders in the future mounting a takeover of SPH and merging its properties portfolio into their own REITs currently listed on SGX. I will elaborate a bit more on the above 2 points later in my post below. 1. Misconception that Reta
