Anyone bought into Nikko AM Singapore dividend Equity Fund? How do you rate it's relative performance to other dividend funds, and what made you choose it? thinking about investing in a div fund in SG?

Try not to buy Unit Trusts (Mutual Funds) and diversify to different countries.

Your fund has potentially high initial sales charge plus high annual fees.

When Your strategy is investing into dividend funds, I'd recommend to look into

passively managed Dividend ETFs. They are much cheaper (about by the factor 5-7x) and reducing investement costs is of utmost importance.

But You cannot only gauge the performance of the selected fund by fees and annual dividends alone, you should also calculate the fund price development (capital appreciation):

Real performance = Capital appreciation + Dividends - fees - inflation
