All about Dividends

[Delsamor]

The Yield 2.64% is the dividends this stock pays P.A?

Is there any books that teaches or explains pertaining to SGX dividend investors?

Hi, noob question..

I bought some REITs that pay dividends on 29 Mar, Its reflected in my CDP account, my broker is vickers. I have DCS with CDP that is linked to my UOB account

but my dividend nv came into by DCS account nor my dbs account, i thought it will be credited to my dcs account upon dividend date? The only difference is, this time the dividend is in USD (manulife reit)

Is there any way to know that i will entitle for dividend in DBS Vickers or CDP ?
For example today is XD of ST Engineering, how do i know in platform that i will get dividend even though i sell by today ?

 

[bxang1986]

It’s by looking at the Book closure date of the Dividend announcement in SGX platform or go directly to the stock’s website(under invester relations news).

I received the form for Dividend Choice (Multiple Options) and Partial Election is allowed.

How do I fill below if I want 50 Scrip & the rests in Cash?

With reference to your letter,my/our instructions are as follows:

___ Receive dividend in Option 1 (Dividend Cash in SGD)

___ Receive dividend in Option 2 (Dividend Scrip)

Was looking at "Ascott Residence Trust". And it stated multiple dividend.

Just add it up.

Not really, you can call it that but it changes from year to year.

The yield of 2.64% is based upon the current market price at that time so that changes too.
Yield is always dividends/price. So it depends on how much dividends and what price you buy at. Both can change from year to year.

Indeed you should received your dividends on Mar 29 or the day after depending on brokerages and if you didn't receive yours, you should call up the brokerage you are using, Vickers in your case.

Also make sure that you have the stock before the XD date, in this case, you must own the stocks before February 12 and not sold it before February 12.

Don't bother about book closure date, that one more administrative than anything. In other words, not our concern.

Only look at 2 dates, XD and pay date.
e.g. If XD of STE is today, May 12, and you hold the stock till May 12 and subsequently sold it on May 12, you are confirm+chop to get your dividends on the pay date or a day after that.

hi guys, noob question here.

I saw reits distribution always have a date range together with the dividend among like this:
010118-310318 SGD 0.0033 TAX EXEMPT
010118-310318 SGD 0.00244

Does this mean i must hold the stock between the date to qualify for the distribution or is still according to the ex-date?

Thanks!

 

[Sadisticnoob]

must hold the stock in your cdp by book (record ) date .

 

[Perisher]

All answers in first post. Ignore book date/record date. It’s totally useless for us.
Xd date and pay date is all you need.

What you are looking for is etf, not funds.
Removed your advertising msg here just awhile back. Funds require a cost that is a multiple of etf for doing literally the same thing.

Anyway, for single stock that pays consistent or even incremental dividends during crisis, look no further than the CCC list.
There are literally 100s of such companies on the list.

Not sure if you don't know these things or choose to selectively promote certain stuff.

What is CCC list?
Where can get the list?

And, thanks bro for your first post. Just finished the whole thread.

Here's my favourite chart once again, to show capital and div gain for the Telcos



My preference is to buy 2 out of 3 and leave out the potential underperformer.
For Telco - bought Singtel/Starhub, leave out M1 (M1 still not attractive to me)
For Banks - bought OCBC/UOB, leave out DBS (but now DBS is the most attractive one)

Hi sifu, mind to share where is the source of this chart, and wish to see the latest performance compare to the one you posted here. Thanks

USA dividends or SG dividends?

i have a question if i start investing now... (diversify out of gold and silver bars? LOL)

Should I go for SGX stocks for dividends, since there is no SG tax on dividends?
Or should I go USA / Canadian stocks / funds for dividends for the global exposure? But I know USA tax dividends got taxed by their govt

What do most of you do?

I have been buying small piece of sgx stocks over the years but I think it is time for me to take a serious action on my retirement portfolio

You can invest in US bonds with no withholding tax..
