One of my key goal is to keep increasing my dividend income to cover expenses while hope to manage some growth through US Market. Therefore, the final holding in US market will be settling towards growth direction. For dividend income side, mainly SG local market specifically focus on Banks and Reits.
US Treasury Bills ETF
Recently, I have tested out US Treasury 20Y and 10Y ETFs. The dividend distribution is monthly. Unfortunately, there are 30% withholding. As I understood, there maybe tax refund later by brokerage counterparty. This to me is not a sure thing so i will continue to monitor. At the same time, I decided to sell away 10Y treasury bill stock. I realised is not needed for my situation. I am not sure what to do with the USD cash yet.
Currently, 20Y T-Bill gives 4.7%. In good times it can been as a market buffer during recession period....
