Yield too low for my taste.. 

Nikko Asset Management and Straits Trading have teamed up to offer an exchange traded fund (ETF) that comprises of Asian-listed REITs, including those in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Known as the Nikko AM-Straits Trading Asia ex Japan REIT ETF, the Singapore-listed security will track the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Asia ex Japan Net Total Return REIT index.

“Investors get access to a portfolio of REITs in a region of Asia which provides exposure to properties in high-growth sectors such as financial hubs, middle class consumption, and tourism”, said a Nikko AM official in response to questions from REITsWeek on 6 March.

The are 23 constituents of the Nikko AM-Straits Trading Asia ex Japan REIT ETF as at the time of writing, and these include Singapore-listed Ascott REIT, Hong Kong-listed Link REIT, and Malaysia-listed Sunway REIT.

“Dividends, if any, will be paid on a quarterly basis”, said Nikko AM, adding that dividends are currently estimated at 5% per annum based on DPU of REITs in the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Asia ex Japan Net Total Return REIT index over the period of 2011 to 2016.

Who likes a yield and divs paid out monthly?   

But not in SGX. 

My K-reit is red since day 1 
Stock is not UT/ETF, so i think it's fine for long list. 

omg. got fixed charge. I was not aware of the fixed charge. will take note on this too. thanks boss.

8 counters here. For 30 counters, may be easier to buy Reits ETF? Is there a SG Reits ETF?

Yes, different people have different capacity..

I find that I cannot handle too many.. otherwise i will end up ignoring them

About 50 counters still. Managed to clear all my HK and Aust $ shares, now only SG, MY and US counters left. Hope to bring it down to 30 then to 20.

SREits are in general too pricey......no growth and compressing yield. Not good.
Better fish elsewhere.

Yeah,... mkt is 'thinking' of going back to pre-elections levels,... keep hearing abt this over Bloomberg and Squawk Box in the last two days,...

AND,... today : FLIT has pulled away further out,,......

sing to tune "moment like this"

ok serious, last fed hike also green like no business. this one how sure?

Where got so high.. around 6.x % only lar...

then u will slowly end up with basket of 30 counters soon...

how many counters you have already?

Bro,... it's late morning now,................have you managed to buy anything with a bargain ? I have not !!! My targetted ctrs did not drop !!!!!!!!!!! You have been aiming for today, right ?

I would not be surprised.

They are already reporting dividends (tax voucher) paid to MY citizens to LHDN.

How I know? I had coffee with LHDN before and they have my complete info already..     

If your money is clean, nothing to worry about.. 

Tks bro,... this is useful info,... well, foreign income is not taxable, there is no effect even if they know,... for now,.. unless they change the law and says foreign income is taxable,....

Anyone interested in these results?

Hmm,... how was LHDN able to convince IRAS to release this info (yr info) to them ? This is supposed to be confidential. Msia is NOT among the countries that have signed the exchange of taxation infos agreement.

We must alert IRAS to be more discrete and to be more careful in safekeeping investors' information. Unless there is a court order, or the request came from the IRS, there is no justification for IRAS to release such information to any party in Msia.

I don't think it was IRAS that released yr infos to the LHDN !

Bro, mind to share why u open the maybank acc in sg, thought you will open SCB as were saying the SCB do not have charges on the receipt of dividen, other would charge $10 each.

What's your 1st impression?

How filthy does one have to be?  

Not so bad....do they allow foreign stock trades?
