This year is quite challenging for Reits stock price. However for dividend investors, as long the fundamental of such counters are intact and there aren't major crisis on the horizon, I feel there's not much action we can do.
The coming Singapore bond launch is 2.43% yield provided we keep there for 10 years. So able to get +2% from our stock investment after capital movement should be quite good. Of course we can potentially hit 3-5% range.
Dividends collected so far this year is $17,112 which is about 41% of 2017 full year. Theoretical dividends estimated will be $42,500 for 2018 currently.
In total, all my dividends together hits $242,768 (above chart). Just shy of a quarter million.
How will the direction go with increasing rate environment ? One thing for sure, Bank has a killing field day.
As this is not reined, one should be exposed to banking ......
