Do we need to allocate some portfolio for local market? How is Syfe REIT+ compared to individual Singapore stock or REIT?

Hello, thanks for your interest in Syfe REIT+. As Andy and Syth mentioned, you can consider REIT+ for local real estate exposure and dividend yield.

Syfe REIT+ tracks the SGX's i-Edge S-REIT 20 index, which measures the performance of the 20 largest and most tradable REITS in Singapore. Your REIT exposure is instantly diversified across all sectors from commercial, retail, healthcare to logistics and data centres.

S-REITs hold great value with attractive dividend yields. The REIT+ portfolio had a dividend yield of 5.1% for 2019. To boost your returns, dividends are automatically reinvested for you. According to Syfe's calculations, if you reinvest your dividends, you could end up with an extra 0.5% in returns.

Moreover, there is no minimum investment to get started, and no buying and selling transaction fees. If you are planning to invest regularly, REIT+ is more cost effective than buying individual REITs.

When you invest in overseas markets, you expose yourself to currency risk. Which is why one can consider allocating some portion of his/her portfolio in the local market as a hedge against such risk.

If you're looking at dividends, you can consider the Syfe REIT+ portfolio. If you opt for the ARI algorithm, some portion will also be allocated to the ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund, which is quite stable. This portfolio can serve as a cushion for your overseas investments.
