yes, wud like some first reit in my basket since i hv nothing about healthcare. thanks for headsup again.

if you have ready sgd or can easily transfer to sgd bank acc, it makes more sense to open direct with dbs. cheaper overall.

alternative is thru major local banks incl cimb via a nominee acc where u can buy/sell online, pay thru local bank account at fair exchange rates. this way, not only sgx, can do same with hkx, nyse, nasdaq.
seriously, with local economy, bursa and fd's pretty sterile, putting some money in foreign investment/currency is a good and timely thing, imo.

for cimb nominee acc, buy/sell with itrade platform, it works this way:

.. no need to deposit anything if you have some stocks (bursa or any other) with enough trading value.
.. when u buy at itrade, the rate to be used is shown on the screen, e.g. now is buy sgd at rm2.5665, sell sgd is rm2.5535. can check with other banks rates now to see if these are fair rates.
.. after purchase, the next day, u get a statement via email - it will show exactly that rate and total cost in rm incl brokerage, stamp duty, etc. the same figures will also be displayed in yr itrade/client summary, so u can't miss.
.. just deposit the rm figure within t+3 to complete purchase.

.. if u have some sgd in the sgd trust acc (which happens becos of on-going div, and which does not earn any interest unlike the trust acc in rm), u can use that to pay too. if amt is sufficent, it's just sgd paying for sgd, rm rate becomes irrelevant. if it is insufficient and you need to pay partial sgd and partial rm, a new rate will be determined on due date for the portion u wish to pay in rm - this is becos at purchase, the bank locks into the rate at that time for you and this rate can't be used if you choose pay differently. so, depending on whether the rates moves for or against u significantly over the following few days, one can choose to optimize. i usually accumulate enough of the div in sgd and wait for opportunity to buy and pay in sgd when sgd is relatively stronger than rm. conversely, if rm is strong, i will pay with rm and just leave the sgd's for the next opportunity.

thank  you... appreciate the info very much, helps an amateur like me very much   

yeah.. seriously. If interested can diversify ...

Ever thought of what it’s like to own golf courses?

Accordia Golf Trust (AGT) is Singapore’s first listed business trust with golf course assets in Japan. It is promising an annual distribution yield of 9.1 percent for 2014, and a normalised distribution yield of seven percent.

The listing price was set between $0.97 to $1, where 164.592 million units were to placement holders in Singapore, 41.163 million units for public investors and 576.27 million units for Japanese investors.

Has anyone participated in dividend investment plan with FIRST reit, Maple Industrial Trust. Do we only need to reply yes in application form only once, or need to apply every quarter?

Yeah thought about that, but the benefits outweigh that.
You save on brokerage charge and some give you a slight discount on share purchase.
If you keep long term, the odd lots will sort itself.

PS, SGX will allow lot sizes of 100 shares in early 2015.
