Part 3/10:
The Shift Toward Higher-Yield Alternatives
As T-bill yields become less attractive, investors are looking for alternative assets that can provide higher income. Given the current environment, options that offer a better risk-return profile include Singapore Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), dividend stocks, and bond funds.
Singapore REITs: A Promising Income Source
Singapore REITs have garnered attention as a relatively high-dividend yield option, often surpassing T-bill returns. Certain subsectors are yielding up to 10%, with the large-cap REITs focusing on shopping malls and office buildings offering an average dividend yield of around 6.6%. These assets are familiar to many Singaporeans and provide attractive income streams.
