Bro is talking like a pro now,... haha,... everywhere also asking people to go INTO THAT COUNTRY to open an account,... Bro,... it's not so simple, okay ?? So many things to overcome,...

But,......... I like your spirit,...

Actually, going into a country DIRECTLY to open a brokerage account or an investment account is similar to doing FDI - Foreign Direct Investment. It's not so popular for Msians,... we preferred to do from inside Msia. The Americans have been doing this for years, just to perform tax planning. Today, with FATCA and all,... no more,...

Might as well diversify some into the PNB Fixed Priced Funds too, since the return is also 6% TODAY,... and the capital is more or less guaranteed, unless you are sure of getting capital appreciation from your REITs,...

Bro Wong,... I have been buying PFLT for many years, traded, bought and sold for profit or hold and extract monthly dividend. Even after the 30% withholding tax, it is still worth it. I have just started on Dynex.

With the coming rate cut environment, mortgage-backed securities will start to do well.
