but i feel safer with my 30 counters. heaviest holding in my portfolio is  Aims Suntec(sold off all) starhill croesus...
and lately MANULIFE US.

the rest is a bit of everything.

I am increaseing FRASERS COMM TRUST. Frasers L&T slowly.

different people got different strategy. I understand your concern boss.

maybe some will require weekly monitoring, some will be in quarterly monitoring basis. practical ?

I will keep those have potential in long term run too.

it seems I have some in US and ASX. list is getting longer and different countries.

There are 2
Phillip and Nikko. Phillip div is 4.5% while Nikko is 5%. Both not interesting as there's a 17% tax on them vs buying reits alone which does not incur taxes.
Out of your 10, how many are reits?

Guys I want to ask. I am looking at capitalland commercial Trust vs Mapletree commercial Trust.

Understand that SG is facing a supply of offices but it's expected to end this year.  Office move their backend operation out of CBD. But capitalland commercial Trust gave a 8.x% (based on last year dividend yield) dividend yield last year. Very tempted to buy. Even if rental revision would be negative, how much can 8% drop? It won't drop to 5.x%.

Mapletree only gave 5.x%. I already have frasier centerline and capitalland mall Trust. Is it worth to switch over to capitalland? Need your opinions.

Are you sure CCT is having 8.x yield?

Based on its latest DPU (Jun->Dec 2016), the figure is 4.69 cents, annualised 9.38 cents
Current share price 1.53

9.38/1.53 = 6.13%

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 ?

Just a side question here : has anybody heard that come June 1st this year, the IRAS and the banks in Singapore will submit a report to our Lembaga Hasil detailing the holdings and assets that Malaysian citizens hold in SG ?

Fortis Healthcare said to be mulling buyout of RHT Health Trust
How will this affect RHT? The price today like on roller coaster.

Nope. But why would a country be responsible for reporting to ANOTHER country on behalf of foreigners? If individual to declare then make sense...

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,....

And what did they indicate to you that the SG authorities were reporting to LHDN?

gark are you chosen as a frequent TTer ?

Thanks for sharing the experience.

Trading halt for RHT.....
is it good or bad news?

sifu sekalian

what are your take on soilbuild?

I know their major issue is the prop at loyang way, hard to get tenant for o&g biz. but I read that that prop contribute about 10% of reit income. assuming I discount 20% on dpu at current price it is still looking at >7% return. This number should improve if they can get a new tenant?

Already did.

Mreit low yielding make me to look for Sreit.

Mreit generally are yielding net about 4.x%, while Sreit counterpart are yielding 5.5 up to 7%.

In fact, disposing part of Mreit and switching to Sreit.

I think Aussie REITs are more attractive in terms of yield,... if we take into consideration the franking credits too !

30% same as US   

Valid only for those stay in AU. Can check out ASX thread. For those don't stay there (like me), yield is more or less same with SG.

That's why not sure if I want to go that route. That's why I am looking at HK. Tax free. But cannot open HK bank account. AU bank account easy to open

Good thing about SG, AU, HK, - no inheritance tax unlike UK and US   

Dividends for withholding tax purposes include:

    any distribution made by a company to any of its shareholders in the form of money or other property
    any amount credited by a company to any of its shareholders
    the return on all equity interests, including non-share dividends. However, they do not include dividends paid for non-equity shares that are subject to interest withholding tax.

You must issue a statement to your shareholder or payee that indicates the extent the dividend is franked or is conduit foreign income. You do not have to withhold tax if the dividends you pay have been fully franked or they are conduit foreign income.
