$MAPLETREE INDUSTRIAL TRUST(ME8U.SI)$
Most new investors must be wondering if dividend or growth stocks is better?? Dividend stocks would provide a constant stream of income via dividend payout, whereas you need to sell away your growth stocks when there's a capital appreciation to pay yourself. Given the uncertainty in the market now, it would be good to invest in some fundamentally strong S-Reits with good dividend yield.
It is important to identify good dividend stocks that not only pays you increasing dividend, but also have room for capital appreciation. Among all the S-Reits, $MAPLETREE INDUSTRIAL TRUST(ME8U.SI)$ is the undisputed champion which gives the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR which combines both capital appreciation + distribution) since its IPO, with a CAGR of ~12.3% since its IPO in 2010 at a price of $0.93.
Furthermore, it has a very strong sponsor (Temasek Holdings) and a very strong track record for capital appreciation and dividend payout! Although past record may not always guarantee future success, its proven track record through turbulent times would definitely be an important consideration for new, young potential investors who look to diversify beyond the US market.
For me, protecting my capital is top priority! No point risking your capital with so much uncertainty now. Instead of parking your SGD in the bank, go look out for great opportunities to buy good dividend stocks for long-term investment!! Given the increasing interest rates, it is highly likely that most growth stocks won't be performing well in the short-term.
If you have missed the boat during the covid-induced market crash in 2020, your next opportunity for your hard-earned money might be here!! What do you think? Do let me know your thoughts!
