[SG60 Special] My Singapore Investment Story Begins With ____?

2025-08-08

August 9 marks Singapore’s 60th National Day—a perfect moment to look back on how we each started investing here.

Maybe your first buy was a blue-chip bank you grew up seeing everywhere, a REIT that hooked you with steady dividends, or a small cap you discovered by chance. Some of us chose the SG market for its clear rules and strong governance; others stayed for the consistent income and the way local names anchor a long-term portfolio.

However you began, those early picks, the REIT you keep going back to, and the reasons you invest here all draw a personal map of your Singapore investing journey. Share yours with the community.

    随着生活成本的上升，人口的增加，银行 $星展集团控股(D05.SI)$ $大华银行(U11.SI)$ $华侨银行(O39.SI)$ 被视为主要受益者。这在很大程度上归因于几个因素：
    贷款：随着房地产和商业地产价格上涨，银行从更大的贷款账簿中获利。在当地人和不断增长的移民人口的推动下，对抵押贷款和商业贷款的需求不断增长，为银行提供了源源不断的利息收入。
    房地产市场：住宅和商业房地产价格上涨意味着银行作为贷款抵押品持有的资产价值也会增加。这可以加强他们的资产负债表，并为潜在违约提供缓冲。
    移民：不断增长的人口，尤其是高净值个人，刺激了对各种银行服务的需求。这不仅包括抵押贷款和其他贷款，还包括财富管理、私人银行和许多其他收费服务。

    The first Singapore-listed stock I ever bought was Singtel .
    And my favourite REIT is Keppel DC.
    I choose to invest in Singapore 1st , I'm Singaporean, I'm proud of my country listed companies especially those Temasek linked.  Stock prices up and down are normal. So I do take profit whenever it hits my target price.
    Always have the next opportunity to buy again.

    those days when retail investing is not readily available and accessible, we only have access to Singtel Stock and we were given some singtel shares as a long time singtel customer. This is my investment story (story posted on behalf of my late dad, he was the one who encouraged me to dive deeper into investing). Happy bday Singapore 🇸🇬 😊

    Started investing ETFs with a broker called InvestNow, switched to Tiger Trade due to flexibility of choosing stocks and ETFs to invest

    My first Singapore stock was $NetLink NBN Tr(CJLU.SI)$, a defensive play with steady dividends. It’s not a growth stock, but its stable, recurring income is perfect for funding other investments. In my view, it’s far better than leaving money in a savings account. Haha.


    My first REIT was $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SI)$ , another defensive pick with stable growth, backed by heartland malls that stay resilient through economic cycles. Solid yields and consistent performance make it a dependable anchor in my portfolio.


    Today’s National Day, proud to be a Singaporean and looking forward to more prosperous days ahead for Singapore! Happy National Day! [Happy]
