I have a very noob question... I have been transferring $100 per month into DBS STI ETF. Over the years, the dividends would be based on the total amount accumulated inside the ETF right? ?

For eg if i pump in $100 per month, i would be $1200 in a year (taking in acc i ignore sales charge). And dividends for the year would be based on $1200? And the following year would be based on $2400 ($100 x 24 months)?

In short, yes. Based on the units accumulated before ex-div

You would have receive the dividend statement from DBS. Your dividend would be debit into your account based on the number of units purchased. IF you pump in $100 every month, it would not mean you got the same number of units as the price will fluctuate

Dividends are paid per unit of the ETF you own....

I am currently investing $300 per month into ETF STI through DBS. I am a pretty low risk investor. If i carry on contributing this amount per month for the next 30 years (DCA method), will i gain?

I am 25 this year, and my freelancing job gives 5k spare cash per mth. I DCA 1.5k in STI ETF every month, and my cash is accumulating quite fast now I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions?

Can someone kindly enlighten me! DBS Invest saver charges 0.82% (per transaction) for investment to STI ETF. If I do a monthly DCA, does that mean my charges amount to 9.84% annually?

I’ve just started working and with that I also started learning how to invest. Currently, my plan is to RSP $100 into STI ETF, Stashaway and Syfe per month. Would that be a good starting point?

I’m a 25 year old and I just started working. I have 12k saved and plan to save 1K per month. I have no knowledge about investments and I been reading on this site. Would you advise that I buy DBS shares and keep for dividends?
