The management has done a good job, in fact the REIT has posted non stop DPU increase for many years..but still the yield is too low for my appetite. 

Like fed rate hike?

Bro,.. I have seen many times, if a REIT, or for that matter, a counter is 'good', it will still go up in a mkt reversal,...especially for a REIT. Because when mkt is bad, investors take their funds out from speculative positions and pour into safe income ctrs. So,.. no chance to buy also.

For me,.. I think I'll still buy when fundamentals improve, but will not expend all my bullets,... because after buying, I will start to reap the dividends in the next payout,..

Yes, if this reit can reach >5.8% can consider buying.. otherwise I will stick to First Reit...

Low risk, lower yield loh.
Want higher yield, need to withstand higher risk and more uncertainty ahead.

A trade off.

Want high yield with good steady reit/stocks, need to wait for sell off "carnival", that generally only occurred once to twice in a decade, based on global stock market history.

The last big sell off was 2008, almost nearly 10 years, due another one? 

HKSE = No witholding tax.

SGX = No witholding tax until 2020 for REITs unless MAS extend the regulation period

Until March 2020 to be precise..

MKE can buy direct from HKSE, quite competitive rates too.     

I am still surveying HKSE dividend investing... looking for targets. 

Diversifying to LSE ? You just started with SGX, then ASX / HKSE.. so fast to LSE ?

DBSV can buy the stocks listed in LSE ?

My Msian portal can access following

1. AMEX (American Stock Exchange)
2. NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation)
3. NYSE (New York Stock Exchange)
4. LSE (London Stock Exchange)
5. ASX (Australian Stock Exchange)
6. SGX (Singapore Exchange)
7. SEHK (Stock Exchange of Hong Kong)
8. IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange)
9. SZSE (Shenzhen Stock Exchange)
10. SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange)
11. CSE (Colombo Stock Exchange)
12. TSE (Tokyo Stock Exchange)
13. SET (Stock Exchange of Thailand)
14. KRX (Korea Stock Exchange)
15. TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange)
16. Europe Markets 
But actually cannot access ASX! 

Come open at SG lar.. can trade anywhere including NYSE ARCA through portal.. 

NYSE and NYSE ARCA is different... I found that most broker in MY cannot trade ARCA through online.

ARCA is for trading ETF, ETP & ETN

Yes some are dual listed, but not all. If you dont trade ETF, then should be no problem for you. 

Fraser Comm Trust looks like approaching new low.. @1.25 yielding almost 8%.. 

Risk : HP Lease at Alexandra Technopark is going to expire soon. China Square is undergoing reno, so will have loss of income.

Pro : Aussie building (Central park) might have some catalyst in higher occupancy with revival of mining. AUD is poised to be stronger.

Please do your own research and buy at your own risk. 

Warchest plan
- Dividend which received + injected capital. No DRIP for me as DRIP can cause odd no which make it hard to sell.
- Will include USD, SGD, HKD/ASX.
- amount should be sufficient to buy 3-4x of each fund (on SGD1k/fund) that's why keeping my total list short.
- Will use United Asian HY bond fund to pay for DBS MCA SGD5/month fees.

I do not have any ASX. I think ASX is kind of waste as the 30% tax is high. From what I learnt with reading from those who invest using ETF, keep your cost low (brokerage + tax).

Ask yourself why did you invest in Manulife US REITS? Why not invest straight into US exchange? I am sure there are other office REITS in US which can beat Manulife. I think the answer is simple. The withholding tax by US gov. Manulife is tax free if we submit the WBEN8 form. Same thing apply to ASX.

If the returns are same with S-reits, will not go into ASX. Will use proxy reit manager to get higher returns (s-reit is tax free) compare to ASX (30% tax).

Will consider ASX only if the return can be more than S-REITS (even a little is ok)
Prefer
- UT for now. No frill about right issue, tax issue, analysis about cash flow etc, just moniter the market when drop then dump in when drop. Cheaper S-reit (0% SC instead of SGD18). Make 4.xx% return in less than 6 months (FSM MY). Some of my funds have me 7.xx% in less 6 months. Took guy3288 advise and buy when market drop drastically (UT).
- Haven't get any returns from S-reit yet so my comment does not hold water.

Bro,

Would u consider Omega Healthcare reits listed in NYSE ? Dividend yield 7.7%

Under Trump reign, what US counters can we consider then ?
