Plan to start invest local market with my SRS. For local market, should look at dividend instead of capital growth? What should be considered for dividend stock?

If considering dividend investing, I would use cash instead since dividends received from SRS investment as it would be credited to the SRS account, subjected to taxation upon withdrawal. The local market has rather lacklustre performance compared to other countries, hence not very ideal if the risk tolerance allows for higher risk investments.

Personally, I would go with a roboadvisor for investment in overseas markets.
