The component REITs are a percentage of the entire portfolio so correspondingly their distribution payout are a percentage of the ETF payout. Averaging out the distributions from the REITs and after costs, the ETF dividend payout could be lesser than a high yield REIT.

In the ETF, you are spreading risk across the component REITs. If you only have one REIT, any changes in the distribution payout will have a higher impact.

What is the difference between buying SGX REIT ETF (SGX:CFA) on FSM and a regular broker like Vickers? Wouldn't FSM be charging more fees? Thanks!?

Too big to fail? Just an example, like our local banks, singtel or ascendas reit. Since the probability is low, is it worth it to invest in these companies rather than a etf which has a lower yield?

Hi Seedly folks! I want to stay invested, would like to get some ideas as to what stocks are you looking at to enter during this time? SGX, dividend stocks, REITS or US stocks (etf?)? Thanks!!

I am planning to invest $500/month in REITS. What is the best method to invest in REITs? What is the most cost-effective and simplest way to accumulate dividend? And what about for ETF or individual REITs based on $500/month investment?

Hi! Newbie here! I'm about to make my first investment into ETF. I'd like to start with an ETF that tracks the S&P 500. My goal is long term, and for capital appreciation, not for dividends payouts. What are your suggestions?
