TT money to SG also involve commissions too...... If less shares and less transactions yearly might not a good idea for overseas account...imho

what is the commission and charges associating with buying/selling Singapore REITS - SGD 18 if cash upfront account
sgd 25 for others (margin or cash)
check here for charges info:
https://www.dbsvonline.com/English/index.asp

Mine I open CASH UP FRONT ac so, all dividends will be bank-in directly to
my DBS ACCOUNT, so no handling fees.

I transfer money from DBS bank to VICKERS (immediate usage)
then I buy... I did not take the other ac.. as it is tedious.. after purchase the shares,
then must remember to make payment. However, that ac got credit.

Whereas, if I buy from m'sia my broker charge me RM10 per dividend cheque received.
and my M'sia brokerage rate is :

Brokerage for Singapore share ( 2 ways charges ) Singapore-0.18% min SGD15 M'sia---0.6% min RM50

CDP - hv no idea that there is Charges. This I got to check. Maybe "gark" can help.

Yes, i agree, if less shares and transaction THEN.. it is too troublesome.

But if few SHARES.. and few times DIVIDEND... i calculated, O.K la for me.

I have few shares/reits counter bought from M'sia and everytime i get dividend i see the RM10.00 deducted.
Sometimes my dividend only SGD 5.. and RM 10 is deducted. So, not feasible to be buying little Singapore shares from M'sia.
IF WANT collect dividends.

TT from Msia is RM 10.00 but, DBS charges SG20 to receive the money. The transfer of money is COSTLY!

Ascott REIT to raise S$253.7 Mln via rights issue

Ascott Residence Trust (Ascott Reit) has launched an underwritten renounceable rights issue, to raise approximately S$253.7 million.

In a statement, it said existing unitholders will be offered 253.7 million rights units, at a ratio of one unit for every five units already held, as at the book closure date.

The rights units will be issued at S$1.00 each. This is at a discount of approximately 22.5 per cent to the closing price of S$1.29 per unit, as on Monday, and a discount of approximately 19.5 per cent to the theoretical ex-rights price.

Ascott Residence Trust Management Ltd (ARTML) chairman Lim Jit Poh said: “The rights issue will enhance Ascott Reit’s financial flexibility to tap future growth opportunities."

He said, it will also increase Ascott Reit’s trading liquidity and enhance its credit profile.

"Unitholders will be able to subscribe for the rights units and benefit from Ascott Reit’s future growth strategies.

"There is a strong pipeline of potential acquisitions from our sponsor, The Ascott Ltd (Ascott), and third parties.

"We will continue to seek acquisition opportunities in key gateway cities in China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia and Europe. Ascott Reit will also continue to invest on refurbishing our properties, to drive organic growth," he said.

Ascott Reit is managed by Ascott Residence Trust Management Ltd — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ascott and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Ltd — one of Asia’s largest real estate companies.

u have this share? will u sell the rights issue or buy?

currently I don't have any shares in Singapore, juz watching first

i thinking of buying ascendasindreit and soilbuildbizreit today...
still analysing.
ascendasindreit is cum div...

i have not looked at ascenda much.
for industrial, why not consider aimsampi? low gearing, higher div.
price today is better than last week by a few cents.

i got a bit more suntec today at 1.65.
looking at aim and lippo now.
will add bit by bit slowly.
since myreits are like... dead!

i do not know if there's any net big diff with actual sgd acc or via local banks trust acc.
i use cimb, so far, so good. charges, fx, look ok to me.
just got my first div. they stay in the sgd trust acc, i use them to buy new units, easy enough.
one thing, just me - i plan not to touch them for a long time.
"savings" in sgd should beat the rm in the mid-long term.

SOILBUILD REITS FY14F yield of 7.8%.

http://www.nextinsight.net/index.php/story...yangzijiang-132

today price: SGD0.77 about IPO price...

any recommendation which S-REIT that I should buy ? example for Malaysia, I'm interested with STAREIT or Starhill..

how about Ascendasreit ?

u can choose from here:
http://reitdata.com/

I am having
First reit,
lippomall, - now is CD.. maybe u can consider
& SUNTEC.

Now thinking of adding
SoilbuildBizREIT
and
AIMSAMPI Reit - since price down to 1.53 (as recently ex-dividend)

But whatever u intend to get... do some homework.

^thank you but then i have no idea how to calculate dividend for S-REIT because got LESS TAX, TAX EXEMPT and Annualised DPU etc I appreciated if anybody can help me

check these sites, u can analyze...
http://mystocksinvesting.com/singapore-rei...end-investment/
http://reitdata.com/
http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/sgxweb/home/...in_one/company/

i have lippo, suntec, capitamall, sabana, aimpsami and starhill global.

i look for a balanced mix of div yield, low gearing and liquidity.

other than sabana, all have cap gains and dividends, performace better than myreits so far...

u won't find the perfect one(s) - u just need to decide which approach.

all the best!

^thanks avfan..will do analysis

Noticed this SG thread started having regular crowd.... Switching from my to SG slowly?.....

my strategy is diversification. Coz one never know the future. Eg: today, 'A' shares might be good.. then suddenly, there will be an announcement, and it might not be good anymore. And since cannot be updating everyday on information (as it is not a fulltime job), my strategy is getting into more counters instead of concentrating on good ones. From industrial to hospitality to retail etc... and mix countries.. then will be balanced REITS portfolio....

Notice that singapore reits gearing ratio was much more higher than mreit

You cun diversify too much. U aware that you need to pay SGD 10 every time you receive dividend? Normally reits will payout quarterly
Which means you need to pay SGD 40 every year for stamp duty alone.

She was using singapore broker and bank into sg bank.... I think quite minimal impact.....compare to me......
