If I want to invest in the Phillip SGX APAC DIV REIT ETF via Maybank KE MIP, what is the difference between choosing the SGD and USD based ETF?

Wah. I'm guessing it just means that you are looking for a brokerage who can do that and trade?

To answer the second part of your question. It simply means that you are looking to contend with the USD/SGD exchange rate fluctuations. For STI ETF (Nikko AM and SPDR) they are SGD for obvious reasons.

For Overseas ETFs (eg Vanguard or SPDR world) they are USD.

Best seen in Robo-advisors where you invest via SGD but the trades happen in USD, so sometimes you lose out to the exchange rate losses.

Hi Seedly folks! I want to stay invested, would like to get some ideas as to what stocks are you looking at to enter during this time? SGX, dividend stocks, REITS or US stocks (etf?)? Thanks!!

What should I invest in if I'm interested in increasing my passive income? Should I look at investing into REITs, or REIT ETF as such as Lion-Phillip SREIT ETF?
