In fact, it is so popular that Singapore has grown to become the largest REIT market in Asia ex-Japan. This is mainly down to two reasons. #1 REITs are essentially property investments. Singaporeans’ fascination for property investments stem from its meteoric rise since our island nation gained independence. Even on the back numerous property cooling measures enforced to reduce speculation in residential properties, sky-high prices mean that property investments remain out of reach for ordinary

DBS has a pretty good report out which shows some of the “stress-test” they put the REITs listed in Singapore through. For those serious in investing in REITs, this is a good blueprint how you can assess the defensiveness of REITs in times of stress. This kind of assessment is very quantitative and should not be the only way you assess the REIT’s defensiveness. You have to layer the qualitative aspect as well. Let me share some of the main takeaways. The Metrics that DBS uses to Measure Whether Each Singapore REITs Will Survive Better Firstly, we have to be clear what they mean when they measure the survivability of the REITs. I do not get a clear statement from the report but after reviewing the report, a REIT survives better by coming through this

CapitaLand is Temasek property giant stock, having 2 giant Singapore REITs: CapitaLand Mall Trust (CMT) and CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT). Many Singapore investors like REITs for passive income generation through quarterly dividend payment. After the announcement of merging, both REITs suffer about 40% price correction during global stock crisis with Coronavirus fear, dividend yields are more than 6%, attractive for long term investors. Some potential REIT investors would like to know should they invest in CMT or CCT before the merging, which one has more potential, or should they wait until the merging of 2 REITs into CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), the largest Singapore REIT by June 2020.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are popular investments in Singapore, as they own a portfolio of properties and pay out relatively good distributions from the rental income they receive on the properties. In our REITs Report Card column, we feature the performance of REITs every quarter. How Singapore-listed REITs Performed In The Year-To-Date 2020 The first three months of 2020 has seen its fair share of volatility, with the ongoing US-China trade war sanctions, a generally slowing global economy, and also hit with Covid-19, a novel Coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China. This has given rise to greater price fluctuations in the stock market in 2020. To gauge how Singapore-listed REITs have performed in the year-to-date (ytd) 2020, we take reference from the iEdge S-REIT Index

The weekly 4 Stocks This Week column on DollarsAndSense was started in 2017 with a simple objective was simple: to provide a convenient read each week for busy investors to stay updated with what is happening on the Singapore Exchange. 4 Stock This Week is not a recommendation from us to buy or sell any of the stocks that wke feature. Its purpose is to highlight interesting stocks that investors should be aware of, rather than to analyse these stocks. For this week’s edition, instead of the usual coverage of four stocks, we’ll do a year in review of the other 51 instalments of 4 Stocks This Week that our team has written in 2019. Over the past year (51 weeks), we’ve covered 123 SGX-listed stocks, 4 ETFs and 8 Daily Leverage Certificates. The most covered stock was Sas

Just a couple of months to the big day. Things have been going well and many items have been finalised. Unfortunately, the venue had a sudden renovation (it was supposed to have been started since the first half of this year and should not have affected the second half) beginning this month and it caused a scramble for us to manage the situation. We got our photos done and I have to say… they were awesome! We finally managed to book our ideal wedding car because of a cancellation by the other party. Woohoo!!! So that’s 1 more item in the arranged portion. Things are looking close to completion as most of the pending works can only be done closer to the wedding.

After looking for so many IDs in April, we finally cut the list down to just 2 IDs. Considering that both IDs were able to give a final quotation according to what we wanted and within our budget, it was a tough decision (they were both really nice as well). We decided to go with someone who was familiar with us so that we can communicate better and expect that he caters his professional judgement and experience to make our dream house. We also went into KL for a short trip just last week. It was a well-deserved break for the both of us. Although the trip was to acquire things for the wedding, we really enjoyed the trip and the people we met along the way. In my SG account: Nothing has changed in this month. No dividends collected but I’m expecting dividends from SBS and Lippo Mall in Ma

April came without me noticing… OMG… I wanted to do a post every month and I didn’t even realised March went away. Oh well… Been busy with work, wedding, house, and financial education since March.In February, we went for our very first Singapore Zoo Run. Although I just had a night shift before the run, we managed to have a good walk around the Singapore Zoo talking photos. Both of us have never been to the Singapore Zoo and we thought it was a good idea to explore using the run for entry. In March, we did our pre wedding shoot, met with our solemniser, did site visit to the wedding venue with our groomsmen and bridesmaid. So far, we’ve confirmed AD photographer, emcee, photobooth vendor, solemniser, table styling vendor and wedding venue. We are confirming the details for the c
