So why invest in Singapore?

Higher dividends
The Singapore market has better stability and a higher dividend yield. The STI index volatility is only 0.11, much lower than the S&P 500 (0.16) and the Hang Seng Index (0.15) since 2015.

Singapore REITs, as the second largest REITs market in Asia after Japan, have a higher risk tolerance and better dividend yield than other markets. Many Singapore REITs offer dividend yield of 4% to 5%. Some REITs' dividend yield could reach 6% or 7%.

Singapore REITs assets with higher dividends, lower volatility, relatively stable returns and strong risk diversification are of outstanding investment value for investors with lower risk appetite in the second half of the year in which the global economy has greater downside risks.

No capital gains tax
Singapore does not impose capital gains tax, inheritance tax and estate duties. Investors don't have to pay stamp duties when they purchase scripless shares listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Also Singapore does not have any tax or withholding on dividends.

A leading international financial hub in Asia
SGX has beennamed"the fastest international exchange in Asia". Statistics show that the proportion of companies listed on SGX from outside Singapore is over 40%, which is higher than all other leading international stock exchanges, such as NYSE at 24% and HKEx at 7.2% (excluding mainland listings).

For example, in 2021, technology brokerage firms such as MoomooSingaporelanded in Singapore, brought the ease of investment across borders to improve the overall liquidity situation in Singapore due to the lack of individual investors.

Relatively steady and stronger blue-chip stocks:
Given the current volatile market, the more conservative and reliable dividends of Singapore's blue chip stocks are a potential investment choice.
