Broaden Your Portfolio, Reduce Your Risk: Diversify across indexes for a more stable portfolio.

Unlock Global Opportunities: Access leading companies and international markets easily.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REITs at a Glance

What are REITs?

REITs allow you to own a share of income-generating properties without the complexities of direct ownership. They provide more flexibility to buy and sell compared to direct property investments, as they are traded on stock exchanges.

Trade REITs with DBS Vickers

DBS Vickers allows you to trade all SGX-listed REIT. Some types of REIT includes commercial, industrial, retail and hospitality properties.

Benefits of Investing in ETFs

Cost-Effective Portfolio Diversification: Gain easy access to real estate investments and diversify your portfolio without the burden of direct property ownership.

Passive Income Stream: Benefit from a consistent income stream, as Singapore REITs are mandated to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as dividends.

Expert Property Management: Enjoy peace of mind knowing your real estate investments are professionally managed by property managers.

Risks of Investing in ETFs

Income Risk: Your income from REITs largely depends on the cash flow generated by tenants, including rental rates and occupancy levels.

Concentration Risk: If a REIT relies heavily on a few properties or tenants, a negative impact on any one of them can significantly affect your investment.

Refinancing Risk: Since REITs distribute most earnings, they might need to refinance debt. If costs rise or refinancing isn't possible, it could affect their stability and your investment.
