YOur statements of choosing 3968 over 0005 AND CBA over TLS were based on capital gain,... Yes, if your capital had been smaller and your were in accumulation stage, gg for capital gain would be the right way - I have said this in another thread somewhere.

Interestingly,... I have always been a Fixed Income investor,.. never tried much as a Cap Gain investor. I believe in the fact that if a particular ctr has sufficient dividend-paying qualities, it will ultimately turn out to provide capital gains too,... and the more of such 'Unrealized' capital gains in the price of the ctr, I treat it as the higher my margin-of-safety is.

To diversify my hldgs further from SG, CA and AU, I intend to buy more of HK ctrs,... hopefully, this will negate out the geographical risks !

Different animal.
GAPACK is competitor to TetraPak. Company can switch packing.
Electricity harder to switch when you already have the backbone build in. Electricity is slow and boring investment.

I am invested in GAPACK. If Jardine can spot something in GAPACK and bought I think 25% stake and have a board member on board I want in. That's just my view.

" HKRMA Calls on Landlords to Halve Rents for 6 Mths; Worries Ongoing Protests May Spark Massive Layoffs & Shutdowns "

From the above,... tying this over to the Festival Walk Mall there, perhaps the SG landlord Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MNACT) may be impacted,...

Don't know. I already add at 3.83. Not going to add. Save bullet for Ascendas.

I think there will be a 10% WHT and the divvy will be paid out once a year,... Not so attractive, sis,... Having said this, I noticed many of the HK REITs pays out twice a year only. This frequency is not that attractive compared to SG REITs which pay out 4 times a year.

Added,.. furthermore there are the following issues :-
1) there is exchange risk, especially when you are investing through FSM SG. FSM SG will always pay out the dividend in HKD. If we wish to, we can exchange this HKD into the SGD using their platform, but when I last checked, the rate is not attractive.
2) if we need to TT out our dpu in HKD to wherever we wish to, the charges are expensive.

All of the above will finally eat-in into the dpu received and then to the yield, making the yield unattractive again,....

I only buy ICBC. I stay away from the rest.
10% only for China listed stock in HK Those hoping banks.
Yes.
Is like Google.

If you are using pure IB, make sure to pick tiered pricing. It will bring down your cost further.Pick the best bank. Max buy 2.

What packaging?

For those with money can use IB, but for investors with lower amount of cash to trade, fsm, saxo nd Stanchart sg would be better. Correct me if im wrong!

Sis,.. how much is the IBKR brokerage ? How abt charges from the HK side ?

Agreed. No money to pay expensive brokerage and pesky custodian fees.

Reason for GA aseptic fall is it was removed form index. Looking to ad doors next year when have money.

Whitelabels don't do. They told me to go back to their tradestation/Captrader/zacktrade and ask them how to go about it.

In the process of finding out.
I will avoid Phillip/POEMS. They are only good for unit trust.
