I started accumulating over ti

I started accumulating over time the 3 Singapore banking shares (DBS, UOB, OCBC) since more than 25 years ago. I started buying DBS as low as $18 and OCBC $4. My original intent was to have them serve as my retirement nest egg. The dividend payout was consistently at 5-6% yoy. The total values plus the dividends payout had compounded to about 5 times of the initial invested amount. This is definitely able to combat the inflation impact over time.

Since I joined Tiger platform, I started accumulating more of these banking shares. I also invest in US, HK stock, options and other SG counters in a balanced manner because I believe all eggs must not be in one basket, neither should all baskets be in the same building.

Investing in SG banking shares do not need a lot of effort in tracking and management. To me, I am treating them as 'golden geese that lay golden eggs'. Owning them is simply 'awesome'!

DBS & OCBC New Highs! How’s Your SG Bank Holding Experience?

DBS and OCBC Bank both pushed to new intraday highs of $56 and $19.47, supported by strong wealth-management fees, solid capital-return plans, and attractive dividend yields. Even as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts see Singapore banks as resilient, backed by: Wealth-management fees offsetting NIM pressure 5%–6% implied yields into 2026 Buybacks and dividends supporting share prices. For example, Stable? Defensive? Boring but reliable? Quiet compounder? Or if you don’t hold them yet — what’s stopping you?
