As you have probably learned by now, I love dividends, and thanks to the heavy weighting to financial stocks, the Singapore ETF paid out a very generous 4.4% in 2015.
That doesn’t mean you should rush out and invest in Singapore tomorrow morning. As always, timing is everything, so I recommend that you wait for my buy signal.
Furthermore, when it comes to fat dividends, there are several Singaporean REITs that will make dividend-loving investors drool. For example, thanks to a recent pullback, the average Singapore REIT is selling for less than the book value of the real estate it owns—and some of them offer dividend payouts has high as 8%.
And you don’t have to open a Singapore brokerage account to invest in them. In fact, there are 75 Singapore companies traded on US exchanges.
Yes… 75 Singaporean stocks.
Yes… traded right here in the US.
In short, there aren’t any excuses for US investors to ignore this dynamic country. And over the long term, I expect it to be one of the most productive places to invest your money.
In the meantime, enjoy the fat dividends.
