Syfe REITs+ or DIY? Should I stick to Syfe till I have a larger capital before I DIY?

Hi, I have been using SYFE reits since Oct 2020, I DCA $500 every month and have invested $2500 thus far, the time weighted returns is 7.88% and I am quite happy with the returns.

My question is, at this point of time, should I continue with SYFE or should I DIY? Should I stick to SYFE til I have a larger capital (~$50K) before I DIY? Another question is, if I DIY, how should I go about doing it, buying 3 best performing REITS from different sectors, eg industrial, retails, office, healthcare etc?

I plan to hold the investments long-term (~15 years) til retirement.

Thank you!

Hi lovegood, glad to know you're satisfied with your returns so far!

Generally, the perks of investing in Syfe REIT+ is that you can DCA as often as you like and with any amount, without incurring any brokerage fees.

If you DIY, you will have to pay commission for each buy and sell transaction. In that case, it might be better to accumulate your funds and make a lump-sum purchase of your REITs to get a lower commission rate.

REIT+ also removes the time and effort required to study REITs and pick the "best performing" ones. Instead, the portfolio tracks the SGX iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index. The index tracks the performance of Singapore's largest REITs and covers all REIT sectors.

Hope this helps!​​​

When you DIY, you need to read directly into the company reports and understand yourself what they are really doing.
