Hi everyone, I am newbie who just start to learn to invest. However, due to stock exchange has higher risk. So, have to give up for this moment. Just read this reits investment. I see everyone seems like very happy receiving the dividends. May I know how frequently they distribute dividend? One more thing is all the reits price is quite high. Almost all of them is nearly Rm 1. 1k units require RM 1000. I just start to work no longer. Not much saving. Buying 5k units can earn from dividend? I expect I can learn much much more than FD.
congratulations on thinking of investment the moment u r deriving a source of income. before you start, it's recommended to have at least 6 months worth of emergency funds though. now on to your questions, reits distributes dividends four (4) times a year, meaning every quarter. now bursa 1 lot=100 units and no longer 1000 units hence making it more affordable since RM1=1lot=100 units=RM100 on your side. look at accumulating small numbers at a consistent basis. more units=more dividends and capital appreciation potential. generally yield from reits are in 6-8% region which is about 2x the FD rate.
