This post is to update my 2016 1st Quarter Dividends. As mentioned before, 2015 was the first year that I have tracked my dividends diligently. This will be my second year and hoping to see the (incremental) progress.
Total dividends (2016 Q1): ~S$7050.27.
Average Monthly Dividends: ~S$2,350.09.
A breakdown of the dividends/ interest for 2016:
- Nikko AM STI ETF - S$461.72
- Keppel Infrastructure Trust - S$142.66
- Suntec Reit - S$330
- OUE Hospitality Trust - S$85
- Fraser Commercial Trust - S$25.85
- CapitaMall Trust - S$57.60
- Starhill Global Reit - S$132
- Interests (from OCBC and UOB) - S$393.94
I am pretty sure with Saizen Reit's payout, I will definitely cross the S$10,000 mark for 2016. I decided to invest in Soilbuild Business Space Reit using the Saizen Reit's payout. Hopefully, it will be a good investment like Saizen Reit.

Hi PIT
ReplyDeleteCongrats on beating last year Q1 dividends.
Interesting that many of the bloggers include the saizen payout as part of the dividends instead of treating it as divestment, but it's up to the blogger's call on how he wants to do it :)
Hi B, I thot about that. Well, basically, i took the "dividends" and divest into another investment - Soilbuild.
DeleteHi PI,
ReplyDeleteI personally wouldn't consider the Saizen distribution as dividend since it's not repeatable. Wouldn't it feel like setting oneself up for failure by setting the bar so high?

HI FFE, I will just know that for the coming years, my dividends will not surpass the 2016's total. Eventually, it will surpass if I carry on to invest and to reinvest month after month.
DeleteHi PI,
DeleteHeh, actually you can still exceed 2016. Simply just liquidate a couple of your position and reinvest.
Haha. That's a good one.
DeleteHI PI Trooper,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on exceeding 10K dividends for 2016! Once a while it is a good to have a surprise (special dividend). This year is Saizen, maybe next time is another counter...
Cheers,
Farmer.
Hopefully not. I love Saizen. How I wish I could get more distribution from them. But as Long it is a gain; I am happy
DeleteHi PI Trooper,
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice windfall from Saizen. Any thoughts on which new counter to reinvest the funds in?

Hi DK,
DeleteI went for Soilbuild Business Space REITs at 0.73. Hopefully a good decision.
