Unless u are costing in TIME VALUE OF MONEY...

tq for info, good to know!

not chasing, just trying to get lowest possible.
anyway, got all i wanted at 1.14. ex-div probably 1.12.
rm is not so weak at this time, so ok...

Thank you Sir!

Will also be looking at some blue-chip stocks for long haul.

S.Korea's Lotte Shopping postpones up to $1 bln Singapore REIT listing

Lotte Shopping Co Ltd, South Korea's largest department store chain owner, said on Friday it is postponing the listing of an up to $1 billion real estate investment trust (REIT) in Singapore.

The company said in a regulatory filing it could consider the option again if global financial market conditions improve in the future, but is currently considering a sale & lease back deal through a local public real estate fund as an alternative.

The marketing for the listing had been delayed as concerns about economic growth in China and other emerging markets triggered a sell-off in riskier assets, reducing investor appetite for emerging markets.

did u buy this?
Today last day if want the div.

yes!

hope result will be same as first reit - price goes up after dividend ex!

Hi. So for me to get the dividend. I need to buy the shares before Ex-date? Or the books closure date?

Very new in this so appreciate if you could help me out

Distribution per unit (cents) : 1.24
Stock Price : 0.50

Assuming I buy 1 lot (1000 units), do i get 1240?

Not quite sure how it works.

Can anyone tell me pleaseeeee

starhill global...

it means 1.24 cents dividend per share.
stock price 0.50 is par value, irrelevant.
traded price closed at 0.825 yesterday.
ex date is 6 may, today, i.e. yesterday was last day to buy for div.
u dun get div if u buy today. too late, already ex.

traded price today is 0.815-0.82... small drop due to ex-div, very normal.

yr tip has turned out to be a star!

i bot at 1.14 cum dividend.

2 weeks after ex-div, price is 1.19.

tq!

anway, sgd is strong, now 1.25/usd... likely continue to appr against usd for now. good for sg stocks.

Thanks alot AVFAN!


1.24 cents per share meaning if I bought 1 lot = 1000 units

I would get 1.24*1000 = RM12.4 ?

And also are you using any screener or website to track your stocks?


Sorry for asking so many questions

if a share is priced at say sgd0.82, u pay 0.82x1000 =sgd820+brokerage+misc charges for 1000 shares.

if it comes with div, u get div at stated date, is 1.24 sg cents per share:
1000x1.24/100 = sgd12.4.
if under trust account, there is a minimum charge for div, sgd10, u end up with really nothing.
so, u dun buy 1000 shares, need to buy more to be meaningful.
min buy for sgx is 1 lot or 1000 shares.

this thread is for singapore reits in sgd.
u can consider bursa using rm.
min 1 lot is 100 shares, so cheaper.
bursa, if u open own cds account, no brokerage charge for dividend as the money goes direct to yr bank account.
if about local reits/bursa, can also post questions in myreits thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3119344/+1020

if u r very new to this, best to sit down with a stock borker and ask questions. local u can call up helpdesks at mbb, cimb, hlb, pbb, they can explain everything to u, incl their trading platforms/sites, own rules n charges.

For Singapore shares there is 2 dates:
ex date : 6 May 2014
Record Date : 8 May 2104 17:00

If Not Mistaken to be entitled to the dividend if ex date is 6 May 2014, must buy
on 2nd May? coz there is the T+3 thing. Maybe Singapore EX-DATE means
share in possession by the Ex Date. Not buy by ex-date.

For Malaysia, i know if ex-date 6th, can buy on 5th.
But for Singapore, I dun think will be entitled to dividend.

Need to find time to check this out.
