All about Dividends

[goldsilvercity]

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

equity dividends are a lot higher than US bonds

i do know USA bonds have lower risks though

 

[homer123]

After subtracting 30% withholding tax, not many high yield equities can match bond yield.. Also be careful of high yield equities , they are not sustainable. Throughout my 10 years of US investing, I learnt a lesson whenever high yield equity cut its dividend, don't be surprised the share price will drop 40-50%.

How are foreign stock dividends paid out to Singaporeans? I bought MSFT before the ex-dividend date but I haven’t received anything. Using DBS vickers

Wah, vickers? damn ex right?

Anyway,
https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/msft/dividend-history

You should have received it by Sept 13, it works the same as any stocks you buy anywhere in the world. At most a one day delay?
SCB have 2 days delay before but rare.

Also, are you sure you bought before XD? the XD was August 15.

Ya comms.

Go ask for vickers for your dividends dude, sometimes they missed payment. Don’t depend on banks.

hah..? I'm a noob investor. Don't really know what other brokerage to use if not for Vickers. The cash upfront system offered the best rates among all the options I looked up

Banks recommendations

Any banks recommended to keep the dividends from CDP via Direct Credit Scheme? In terms of interest, ease of transfer etc... Many thanks.

I can only think of DBS, you can credit to any savings account and it will count towards the dbs multiplier account criteria. Go check out dbs multiplier.

If the dividend is not credited every month, the multiplier does not work? Right? Especially if I do not use/ have credit card or any investments/ insurance with DBS.
My fren recommend Maybank as their base interest is higher.
Is that true? Is Maybank better for temp keeping of dividend?

There are a few such savings account. These have nothing to do with dividends, more of where you prefer to park your cash in.

Bank account no. for DCS

DBS. You will see a dbs cpfis account.
By CDP, you mean for CPF funds after selling right?

i extracted the above from CDP form. i will buy share and fund with CPF investment account. My concern is whether the dividend will be directly transferred to my CPF investment account if my bank account no. is registered with CDP?

My dividends are directly going to my cpfis account I held with ocbc as my cpfis is with ocbc. It has nothing to do with cdp.
