Erm, nope.    Interest rate risk and currency risk are too totally different risks. Google it to find out more.

if u are with msia based nominee account, sg dividend paid to this nominee acc will cost u something.
cimb charge flat sgd10 for each div payout.
so, if u get a small div, say sgd30, 1/3 is gone.
maybe other brokers charge less, i dunno...

well, if u buy everything at the worst possible time - weak rm, high sgd price, pay higher than normal brokerage fees, div charges - and in small amounts making the div charge a high %, it can't be good. the fx factor is the main one so must learn to buy with rm only when rm is relatively strong.

however, in most cases, the purchases are spread over a period of time, win some gain some such that the overall "additional" cost is more than offset by the higher div yields in sg reits compared to bursa ones.

my own experience, net current position is sgreits is significantly better than bursa ones.

sgx is a much more active (can say more efficient) bourse with many major foreign players whilst bursa is pretty closed, mainly local players and few foreign funds. u can see the difference in daily volumes traded for any counter.

I SOLD OFF 21 oct at 1.56... buy back 29 oct at 1.50.

didn't know REIT also can YOYO trade...

World shares are at all time high.
Look at Shanghai. Gearing up for collapse.
Next crisis coming.

think most if not all reits are now ex-div, incl aimsamp and starhill.

so, they are "cheaper" to buy now.

rm... 2.8085/2.7945, cimb.

no recommend to buy anything SGX... index in SG just turn in bear mode.

My strategy for SGX buy for dividend. and for long term keeping.
I prefer dividend payout few times a year... that will keep the cash flow running.
So, need look for good entry price and hold.

first reit got 6.5% yield? your price yield or current price yield? 

Yes, the ASX is more complicated. Infos not readily available, and must have experience before being able to go into. ...

But odd,... the All Ordinaries and the S&P/ASX200 has been rising and rising in the last ten days when other indices have been falling,....
