Hi Natalie, thanks for your interest in Syfe REIT+ :) Here's some information about our REIT portfolio that you may find useful when making your decision.
1) REIT+ is not an ETF. Your funds are directly invested in 20 S-REITs the likes of Mapletree Commercial Trust, Suntec REIT, Capitaland Mall Trust etc.
2) REIT+ tracks the SGX's iEdge S-REIT Leaders index, which measures the performance of the most liquid REITs in Singapore. In 2019, the index delivered a return of 27.1% and a dividend yield of 5.1%
3) REIT+ is more cost-efficient. There is no minimum investment amount to meet, and no buying and selling transaction fees. If you purchase the Philip S-Reit ETF through a broker, you'll be charged commission for each transaction made. So, if you are planning to invest regularly, REIT+ is by far more cost effective.
4) Another benefit of REIT+ is that your dividends are automatically reinvested for you, at no extra cost. According to Syfe's calculations, reinvesting your dividends can potentially result in an extra 0.5% in returns each year.
Hope this helps!
