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.

guess no malaysia broker have lower dividend admin fee(CIMB call it that) of SGD10

HLeB charges me SGD10 too:
SGD6 for "SGD handling charges"
SGD4 for "our handing"

yes, previously, I noticed the SG10 deductions.. therefore, i zip over to Sg to open an ac. Pros and Cons.. u hv to weight it yrself what is important to u.

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.

suntec reit.. dropping a bit everyday . now is already 1.575 .. wondering.. should top up or not.

hmmm.. 1.56 today my SUNTEC done... anybody know why the drop.. ?

Nice    done

elea88: May I know whether dbs vickers charge us if we do not perform any transaction during that month?

i dun think so.. why should they charge?
my friend open ac with me in Oct.. till now no trade. also no charges.
Only that DBS BANK if below SGD5K before end month, they will charge SGD2

Thanks.

Is there any DBS bank account that do not require minimum deposit?

unless u are Singaporean .. then no charge la.

the ac i open is for foreigner.

Also, check out STD CHART . lower brokerage, no charge on bk account.
however, need a SINGAPORE ADDRESS. u check out their website.
I was considering this ac. however the share trading ac is NOMINEE. unless u are o.k with it.

SGD2 1 yr is SGD 24 X 2.60 = RM 62.40.. i guess its o.k la.

My CIMB Malaysia account , as it is peg to housing loan, is charging me RM10.00 a month i.e RM 120 a year..
