perfectly ok to ask- esp he is FT investor ie without the usu job
Are you more of a growth investor or dividend investor? Which markets/geographies do you invest in?
How do you balance dividends with capital gains?
While we aim 2 look at
total returns comprising price appreciation and dividend yield. (A slower grower is likely to pay more dividends and a faster grower can pay out comparatively less.)
Between growth and dividend, my portfolio is tilted toward those counters that pay a reasonable yield on my buy-in cost.
In Singapore’s context, I’d rather
invest in a company with a decent yield and a moderate growth rate than another with a fast, volatile growth rate but no payout or a yield on cost that’s little.
Compared with other major stock markets,
Singapore is a market generally better for yield than constant price performance. And the earlier mentioned (in part 1) tax exemption on dividends for personal equity investments adds to the yield allure and edge.
I look at stocks from the major markets but with a focus on Singapore.
