I just saved up my first $10,000 and DBS Vickers account. I'm looking for good dividend counters of at least 4% yield. There are so many to choose from and I'm overwhelmed, any suggestions?

Currently i have about 2.9k in NIKKO ETF and 400 in ABF bond index that ive accumulated awhile back through posb RSP.

I am also worried that buying too many counters with just 10k would cause fees to eat into my dividend yield. But just buying 1 or 2 counters expose me to diversification risk. Any advise?

You may want to consider investing in REITS ETF such as NikkoAM-StraitsTrading
Asia ex Japan REIT ETF and Lion-Phillip S-REIT ETF. Just my humble opinion.

With only 10k, it is more than enough to kick start your investing journey. Since you are focusing on dividends, go for REITS and stable blue chips like DBS AND SGX.

You can consider like $2k per share, owning a total of 5 companies.

If you are really afraid of risk, you can continue investing in nikko am etf as it gives you instant diversification. But once you get better, you can start to invest in individual stocks.

Hi anon,

With $10K to start, just get one or two counters first. Yes, there is diversification risk...
