pls note risk with DBS. can buy. but sell i am not sure how. Apparently, when sell, the brokerage rate is different.
So, far, I only invested in REITS for dividend collections.

maybe u can check this out too.. much cheaper.
But with STD CHART, u need address in SINGAPORE to open an account.

wat has that got to do with sg reits?

Usually REITS own properties to be rented to businesses, like shopping mall, warehouse, office.
(these guys don't mind paying huge rent)
Some REITS own hotels.
Very few REITS (service apartment) actually rent to normal individuals.

It is advisable to open a trading account thro Singapore stock broker or thro bank likes SCB singapore who claim charge lower rate than normal rate besides those privileged account holder who will enjoy better rate. 

SCB charge 0.02% n clearing fees 0.00325% with a minumum broker fees of S10 effect 1/8/2016 for normal acc holder.

Alternatively u think u r not trading big sum n traded once in a blue moon then go thro yr local broker which will charge higher n other service charge if u received dividend thro their nominee acc, if I am not wrong.

i started in 2013 with

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT (O5RU)

However, No capital appreciation... My entry price way back in 2013 is still 1.40+......

if u want DIV and also CAP RETURN over time.. maybe can consider

the 2 CAPITALS....CAPCOM & CAPMALL .. but less div.

Reits can close eye buy... if your TIME HORIZON is long..

what maintenance fee r u talking about?

This was what I managed to dig   Hope it help you 

The platform I am using, itrade@CIMB, is charging SGD 10 per dividend / per stock. So if a REIT is paying 4 times dividend per year, it cost SGD 40 per annum to "maintain" that particular REIT... So far it is quite reasonable/acceptable to me, as I usually don't hold more than 5 reits at any point in time... so cost to me is SGD 200 per year, ie: around RM 600 per year... (actually it is about RM300-400 per year for since some reits that I hold like Croesus, Keppel DC, are paying 2 times dividend per year)

Just to share:
I've transferred from iTrade to TDASG (TDAmeritrade SG - rebranded from TDAA) all my US stocks
Thus, should be do-able for SG stocks too - ie. iTrade to SG broker.

Not directly only ETF.. US shares dividend kena 30% tax.. 

Got this idea from Mr Stingy.
www.mr-stingy.com/how-i-paid-off-my-58k-education-loan/

1. iTrade or HlLeB will convert RM to SGD as necessary, following their rates, to pay for BUYs.

Dividend received will remain in SGD if U opted to have multi-currency account.

No other maintenance charges or mgmt/admin fee, just the one that I mentioned in my post, ie: SGD 10 per dividend per stock. Other standard charges are the brokerage charges when you buy or sell, for itrade@CIMB it is 0.42% per transaction (same as local stock I think)

Ya, one of the advantages of using local broker like CIMB is there is NO TT charges to transfer RM to SGD, or vice versa. It is using standard CIMB exchange rate when you want to convert. When you receive dividend, you can retain it in SGD, no need to convert back to RM.
