Reits investment question from newbie. Is Reits stocks or ETFs something that we do "passive investing" in?

People who buy sgx stocks usually buy big amounts to enjoy dividends for passive income. If want to do trading or have small amount then better to try US stocks for faster growth.

Sg banks and reits can be volatile for trades too

REITS should be passive investing due to its divident nature. However, you need to be aware of what is happening to the REITS. There are few REITS who have got into problem, e.g. declining economy in the country where the property is located (e.g. Hongkong). I learn this the hard way.

Reits, STI ETF and sg stocks are more for dividend and long term hold, not much capital appreciation. They can be seen as stable (and boring), as compared to volatile (and riskier) than US stocks.

Although one can DCA on them, the brokerage and sales fees for these are much higher compared to US stocks and ETF. So it is better to lump sum invest or DCA at longer interval (e.g. yearly vs monthly).
