If you focus on price, then you should focus in its NAV which is lower than the share price.
However, if you invest for the dividends, then you should reinvest.

Which are you in for?


As for news, who knows? The managers are quite good. They have been delivering for a long while. I will buy more if it comes to my target. I am in for the dividends.

dividend la.. happily collecting my 20 cents.

so, want to add.. but waiting for next set of div news.

Then the lower the share price , the better!

coz next set div not announce yet.. thats why worried at the dipping share price.

They always announce together with the 1st month of the same quarter dividends. No worries.
I think in their last press/callin they announced no problem for the following quarter.

HERE you go...……….

Post here. I believe Hansel is saying that because he and I beliece the market is expensive now. Back then when I started, market was still cheap.

You and Hansel are concerned with idle SGD cash which is not generating meaningful interest. Yet, in view of volatility and uncertainty, you two feel that it is too expensive to perform additional investment in SGX, and I agree with you.

There is why I suggest Singapore Savings Bonds, as a place to park idle SGD cash and generate interest higher than of the savings account.

Perhaps, you have another methods to park idle SGD cash and generate rather meaningful interest, while we wait for market crash to perform additional investment in SGX.

Correction. I am perfectly fine seating on cash and not do anything but Hansel isn't.

I remembered that you did post the following methods to park idle fund. As of now, are you saying that these methods are not suitable for you at the moment?

- Citibank maxigain (if you got the moo and able to open account) 2%+
- United Class A bond fund 2-3%
- PIMCO GIS Income Fund Class E SGD Hedged Bond Fund, 5-7%
- Parkway 4%

You must have your personal reasons, and I respect that.

Citibank
-if able to open account. Min amount to open SGD15k
United class A and pimco
- both sell down as US interest rate keep increasing
Parkway
- How sure it won't kena sell down interest rate keep going up?

Hehe,... I noticed my name being mentioned multiple times up there,....

Back to topic,... emm,... I noticed the Astrea IV PE Bond Fund keeps steady or appreciates in price when the mkt meltdown days took place recently,...

I managed to catch a number of units at 1.00 recently when this bond fund IPO'ed. At 1.00 par price, my yield is at 4.35%, plus capital appreciation too.

Hence, if I have spare SGD, I can buy more of this bond fund,... and though I would be averaging up, my holding price is still low because my IPO price kept 'covering' the higher Buy prices.

Even if I continue to average up my prices here, my yield will still provide me above 4.10% return, paid out twice years, and with no lock-in period like an FD,... I can sell whenever I want,...

Well, that's my plan above for my idling SGDs now,....

The other plan for my idling SGDs now would be to give to my girlfriend,...

Try to impress her a bit to show her that I cared for her,....

best alternative ever

by the way, how to buy Astrea IV PE Bond Fund? via broker as shares/reits?

You can buy from open market. But you can't sell it. No liquidity.

You can sell,... don't listen to Ramjade,.. look at the volume everyday, and buy within limits of the volume,....
