Quote from Singstat.gov.sg "The real estate industry also expects the business situation to be less favourable for the period of JulDec 2020. Firms engaged in the rental of commercial and office premises foresee downward pressure on rental rates due to weaker demand for commercial and office spaces. " I gathered the data from https://www.singstat.gov.sg/find-data/search-by-theme/industry/business-expectations/latest-data and plotted the full historical chart for General Business Outlook (Real Estate) - 1995 1Q to Present. The trend looks bearish, but maybe a potential trough? ! Next, I added an overlay of NikkoAM-StraitsTrading Asia ex-Japan REIT ETF (QoQ%). Seems like the fund may not have a good Q3 with General Business Outlook still pointing lower. !

If you are investing for the long-term, do RSP. Build your position slowly and gradually to avoid large swings in your PnL. However, RSP need not be just plain vanilla fixed cost investment every month/quarter. It can be improved with some simple calculations. I have written this example in many other posts, you can refer to them via my profile. Let's use VOO US as an example. Before everything else, it will be great to gather the full historical data of this fund at https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/quote/VOO/history?p=VOO . There are no short-cuts in investing, gather data, analyze them and do your homework. It's worth it. -This fund is incepted in 2010 -Since then, there are 40 quarters worth of data in this fund -33 quarters (including current) generated positive returns. Probability to make money in a quarter: 33 / 40 = 82.5% -7 quarters generated negative returns. Probability to lose money in a quarter: 7 / 40 = 17.50% -The average (+) and (-) returns are currently at 5.87% and -8.18% respectively. -From this simple analysis, you know the odds are in favour of positive quarters. Therefore, stick to a fixed RSP amount between the white zone. This represents times of 'normality'. When the price goes above the average (+) return level (green zone), reduce your RSP investment as price is slightly overextended. When the price goes below the average (-) return level (red zone), increase your RSP as such times are extremely RARE. ! Note: As you consistently update your data, the average returns will change accordingly. A good habit to keep track of how things are moving in the market from time to time. Hope it helps.

Great idea to do DCA. Let me help you out a little here to improve your DCA approach. VOO: -There are 40 quarters worth of data in this fund (incepted in 2010) -33 quarters are positive (including current quarter) - 82.50% of total quarters -7 quarters are negative - 17.50% of total quarters ! VT: -There are 49 quarters worth of data in this fund (incepted in 2008) -37 quarters are positive (including current quarter) - 75.51% of total quarters -12 quarters are negative - 24.49% of total quarters ! By calculating the probabilities of both funds using their full historical data, you know that the odds are stack in your favour by DCA-ing gradually. Assuming you have $200 to invest every month. During periods of "normality" which is dictated as the range between the dotted lines (average (+) and (-) returns), stick to $150 per month. When the price goes above the average (+) return, reduce to $100 because it shows that the quarter is overextended and odds are that price may retrace soon. On the other hand, if the price goes below the average (-) return, increase your amount to $200 because such opportunities are rare. Of course, you can adjust your amount accordingly but stick to this framework. Moving on to the lump sum investment into First Reit. I did a quick comparative analysis across Health Care REITs in the Asia Pacific Region (Developed Countries) ! First Reit is trading at a discounted P/E at 10.43 against the regional average of 13.63. Worst 1 YR Rev growth (-0.78) and 2nd worst 1 YR EPS growth (-41.15). Since the majority of its business is conducted in Indonesia, it seems to be that they are having some issues there. Therefore, you should focus on building a strong thesis to support why other investors are selling First Reit while paying a premium above the regional average for stocks such as Parkway Life Estate.
