STI ETF for passive retail investors!!!
You have been buying 1 lot of STI ETF at every first trading day of the month since 2008, what is your total return as of 16 Aug 2013?
Total Return = Unrealized P/L + Total Dividends Received
Here is what Uncle8888 has simulated:
Total Return (Jan 2008 - 16 Aug 2013 market closing price of STI ETF) = 20.1%
Annualised Total Return is about 4%
Happy???
I don't understand - is 4% considered a lot? it seems quite little, and when I look at unit trusts, some of them have high double-digit growth. am I missing something?
ReplyDeletePassive retail investors are more likely to compare it with Bank's Fixed Deposit rate.
DeleteMay be not too bad.
:-)
What would the return look like if you invested a fixed some into STI ETF (instead of 1 lot) ?
