All about Dividends

Here we are today less than two months later and OCBC is approaching $20 already.

Dividend and interest is now growing at a more moderate pace. Expect it to taper off to low single digit once I stop working

I only have one sg stock under CPFIS. Dividend for 2025 is $12,480 or 5.27% yield.

Since the price of my one stock increased, the yield has dropped to 4.67%. Now not sure to forgo dividend yield for the time being and take profit of $40,500

Congrats on your profit, you've done a great job!

You might have your own judgement to invest over 200k SGD in a single stock and in this case, you've strike a jackpot!

The current personal finance consensus is that investing in a single individual stock involves significant concentration risk. It's better to diversify over many stocks, preferably using a collective instrument such as a low-cost ETFs or Unit Trusts.

There're a few good choices within the CPF structure - such as STI ETF, or, those Lion Infinity or Amundi Unit Trusts. These low-cost funds guarantee "mediocrity" but they allow you to sleep soundly at night, which you rightly deserve.

July is a bad month for SG dividends. I got no S$ dividends for July except Astrea. Fortunately Vanguard and iShares pay their quarterly dividends for many of their ETFs in July, so its another 5 digit month for me. NKE also paid dividend and its painful to see the WHT applied.... though I primarily bought it to get capital gain (failed).

Are there any good SG companies that paid dividend in July?
