Mapletree family reits are generally high quality, just like fraser family and capitaland family reits


as for individual reits, you have to read up more on their presentation slides... see if you like their assets or not

I generally do not like industrial assets, as sg economy is moving away from it

I also feel that overseas assets are way risker as compared to singapore assets in which you can see and touch for yourself

I strictly do not invest directly in china nor industrial reits

why u got open SCB? also no more no min commission

you should open account with one of the 3 local banks better for sure, get free research reports

 

[Shawny88]

can consider monthly DCA

What would master suggest and how to do the monthly DCA if I have $3k/mth to invest?

 

[strangerjun]

the opposite of investing is trading/speculating

buying base on news/rumours or charts... makes no sense to me... it can never be a reliable way of making money

Actually, charts are more than just a visual representation for displaying prices over a certain period of time. There is a lot of information to obtain if one can interpret the chart. It is like a cardiologist who looks at an electrocardiograms and identifies heart problems. But to an untrained person, the waves on the ecg make no sense to him.

so don't be too quick to dismiss the merits of chart analysis.

open with maybank kim eng commision around the same for pre-funded. u still got a lot of features in the platform plus reports.

 

[caltex88]

that's why I not into active trading... I prefer only only purchase good companies that are undervalued

a simple but very rewarding method that I have been using for a decade already


like u hoot a solid blue chip at 30% discount to book value like GLP was at 1.80...fundamentals were good, and company was doing share buy back...the odds of making money will be far far far higher than losing more
like 90% huat, 10% lose...

repeat this kinda purchase many many times, sure huat one

the key is training up the ability to spot such good deals

cheers

What are the parameters to look for?
NAV,pricebook suffice?

SINGAPORE (Dec 5): Ascendas REIT is planning to acquire 12, 14 & 16 Science Park Drive for a purchase consideration of $420 million from its sponsor Ascendas.

Two of the buildings are leased to DSO National Laboratories, Singapore’s national defence R&D organisation. The third building is leased to DNV GL Singapore, a Norwegian risk management company, for its South East Asia regional headquarters.

The proposed acquisition is expected to generate a net property income yield of 6.0% post-acquisition costs in the first year of ownership. The annualised pro forma financial effect of the proposed acquisition on the DPU would be 0.059 cents per unit for the FY16 ended March.

The leases have a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 16.5 years and weighted average built-in rental escalation of 2.2% to 2.5% per annum. Including the proposed acquisition, Ascendas REIT’s portfolio WALE is expected to improve from 3.7 years to 4.4 years as at Sept 30 2016.

Ascendas REIT is expected to incur an estimated total transaction cost of $17.5 million, which includes stamp duty, professional advisory fees, and acquisition fees payable to the manager.

As the proposed acquisition constitutes an interested party transaction, approval from unitholders of Ascendas REIT will be required. The acquisition fee will also have to be paid in the form of units in the REIT which shall not be sold within one year from the date of issuance.

The completion of the acquisition is expected to take place within the current financial year.

Ascendas REIT closed 1 cent higher at $2.36.

1) DCA 3k in sti etf every month, very simple and straight forward...

2) DCA 1k each into 3 different counters, 1 telco, 1 reit, 1 bank
example Singtel, Capitamall trust, DBS

Leaning more to option 2. Prefer to buy hold get dividends then trading. Should i concentrate on just three counters or compete the set meal when the value is there?
