Dividend Yield strategy

Hi,

I understand the ETF offers by wisdomtree does have a lower expense ratio, in the long run, it is also a good option to go for it. I should have make myself clearer. For investment using CPF OA and SRS, maybe it is a good idea to go for local dividend UT ^_^

I reall feel buying a mutual und with high fees and annual expenses is a bad idea. The annual expense ratio of 2.13% itslef eats up any superior returns dividend reinvestment would have given you. Dividend based etfs are expected to outperform by 2% but if the expenses are 2% then what is the point?

My money is in the street tracks etf, if i want a dividend fund  then i will buy one of the dividend weighted etf from wisdomtree.

 

What do you mean by full exposure?

To ride out the coming bear market wisdomtree offers
international dividend yeild based energy sector  and consumer non cyclical  and healthcare ETF.

US market symbols are

DKA , DPN , DBR

My money however is in BRK.B - berkshire hathaway, Buffett has a lot of cash and he will use a recession to buy up good companies cheap. He doesnt pay any dividends but in this special case i dont think it is important.

I avoid singapore unit trusts, their performance is not good enough and their fees and sales loads are too high.

If you want a dividend based strategy the wisdome tree ETF s ( trade in the US stock exchanges)  are the best way to go, I sould suggest DLS the wisdom tree internationational small cap dividend ETF.

You only have to pay brokerage if you buy via a ETF via broker instead of 2.5% sales charge , and compared to the huge 1-2% and above annual expenses of a unit trust the charges are a modest 0.7%

I dont own it yet, am doing some more research on them and maybe their other ETF's offer better value.

But  do your own research,  it is your money.

In Singapore instead of unit trusts I own the streettracks STI etf and the lyxor korea ETF.

FTF Global Equity Income was launched on April 25, 2005. The performance so far can be compared to a balanced fund., mine stands at 12.61% for a duration of 14 months. The thing I like about is fund was that there was income distribution per quarter, (4 times per year)

 

Personally, I am an investor on shares and unit trust. Both types of instruments incurred a commission fees. I think the article is trying to make things simple for easy understanding. In the long run, I also believed that dividend-yield strategy could help us, Investor, from any downside.

In fact, coincidentally, other than growth unit trust, I also hold some dividend yield unit trust, i.e. FTF Global Equity Income, First State Dividend Advantage, etc 

 

the guy has invested for all of 18 MONTHS and is giving wrong illustration.  When you buy $1000 of unit trust you don't get $1000 worth of unit trusts!  You start by LOSING anything from 2% to 5% commission the moment you sign on the dotted line!
