STI ETF

[Moonwalker0921]

Hi ,

what is the yield % of STI ETF (ES3) , based on dividends yearly ?
is now the good time to buy ?

think of this or repayment of housing loan with interest to CPF ? me turning 55 on oct 2020 with FRS , so i consider there will not be long lock-up for me .

It is ok now if u buy a bit periodically. If u buy with a lump sum, $3.10 may be a better entry.

Which platform u using to buy es3?

Intend to buy quarterly $10k , in order pay monthly for commission. Agreed , think STI 33xx is a bit too high .

If you have scb bank acct, u should use scb trading. It is very easy to use. Can set high/low alert to notify u. Min comms $10, or 0.2%.

Otherwise dbs vickers cash upfront also cheap. Min comms $10, or 0.12%.

Lol, $10k is considered lump sum to me. Since u r intending to buy regularly, $3.20 is a good start. Then try not to buy too much when above $3.

I prefer to dca but dbsv and scb does not auto invest monthly..

Thanks for all ur help! Keep them coming!!

If you really want the segregation, then you may want to consider OCBC or POEMS.

4.1. Who can invest in ETF(s) through POSB Invest-Saver?
You will be eligible if:

You are at least 18 years of age at the date of application
You are not a US Person (as defined in the Terms and Conditions Governing Investment in Funds)

When using dbsv to buy, dun giro. Use cash upfront, only min $10 or 0.12% nia.
