What are your SG and non-SG investments? How do they compare with each other?

It is quite apparent that singapore is just a small dot, and our economy size can never be compared to china's or america's, ever.

If you've invested in non-sg country's core etf, let's say, VOO for US and MCHI for China, or even more specific sectors let's use tech, QQQ for US and KWEB for China, it is obviously YTD their returns are way higher and not comparable to sg at all. KWEB YTD is over +35% and similar goes for QQQ. The broader etfs like VT has returned lesser because it's more diversified across but nonetheless incomparable to sg.

You can compare the above with STI ETF and see the obvious difference in returns comparison be it YTD, 3-years or even 10-years. Less needed to say on that from myself.

If you're still young (in 20s), i'd say go for US/China stocks/etfs for income growth, and sg reits for dividend income.
