Singapore’s private home price index—consisting of private apartments and condominiums—has risen by 18.6% since bottoming at the onset of covid in Q1 2020. This includes a 3.2% rise in the second quarter for a total increase of 3.9% for H1 2022. Despite a rising interest rate environment, prices of private properties have maintained an upward trajectory due to the undersupply caused by low inventory of unsold units—which has fallen to 15,805 as at the end of Q2 2022, less than half of the recent high of 36,836 units as at the end of Q1 2019—and strong demand, which is largely purchased by locals.

Introduced in September 1998 to curb and ease peak hour jams, Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) was an enhancement of its predecessor, the Area Licensing Scheme (ALS), which was launched in 1975 to target reducing traffic congestion in the Central Business District. Today, ERP is used to manage road congestion by charging drivers passing through ERP gantries during operational hours. The aim – though not necessarily the result – is for drivers to use alternative routes, travel outside ERP hours or take alternative forms of transport to avoid ERP charges. Here’s a guide to all the gantries in Singapore, their operational hours, and the exact charges. Complete List Of ERP Gantry Locations And Rates ERP rates are set generally in periods of 30 minutes and are adjusted to

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

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

Year End Special Offer! And then, there are left with four of them. With the delisting of Jardine Strategic from SGX in April 2021, the four affiliated members of the Jardine Matheson group remains in Straits Times Index (STI) – HongKong Land, Dairy Farm, Jardine Matheson Holdings and Jardine C&C. These four “Hong Kong Heavenly Kings” had dominated STI for years and are all part of the Jardine Matheson Group. Recently, a Lifetime Member has requested me to do a research on Jardine C&C share price, which I will gladly do so in this article. Previously, I had written an article on HongKong Land.

It has been a while since I wrote so often. While I talked about the Risk of Investing in ETF in the last post, I particularly mention about STI ETF. So I thought I should clarify my position and also address a particular question that I believe members of my Fundamental Scorecard Telegram Group will be interested (And maybe you who are reading this post). While everyone is busy looking at the US market tonight, I am writing about STI ETF. While everyone is raving about S&P 500 rising from the dead, here I am writing about STI ETF which is trying to go lower everyday. To start off, I don’t disagree in investing in US markets now. In fact, I encourage it. But one must make the purchase with the mindset that “this could be a permanent loss of capital” (Atas sentence cause I watch

Our world is highly complex. History is filled with examples of how seemingly unrelated events led to unexpected outcomes. The interaction between humans and their physical environment has second and third order effects that aren’t easy to understand. This makes the business of forecasting challenging, and the outcomes of various events difficult to model. American sociologist Robert K. Merton popularised the term ‘Unintended Consequences‘ to describe the phenomenon of unexpected outcomes. In our modern era, the phrase ‘law of unintended consequences’ is used as a warning that an intervention in a complex system tends to create unanticipated and undesirable outcomes. A prime example that comes to my mind is an episode during the Vietnam War. After inheriting
