Comparison with LION-PHILLIP S-REIT ETF
Summary
Pros
With the Syfe REIT portfolio, what I really like
- Only 1 fee to pay. No buy sell transaction fees
- Option to reinvest your dividend
- No min investment amount
Cons
- Rather new robo advisor
- 5-ish% Yield
As someone who DIY my own REITs portfolio, I really do think with REITs, you can do better than a 5% yield. I would prefer to include smaller caps REITs which has higher yield, to average out the yield to around 6-7%.
That said, I would still recommend this:
- you want to invest in S-REITs but doesn’t know what to invest in
- you don’t have a lot of money to start with. There is no min investment amount to start with
- you want to do dollar cost average and start with a monthly investment plan. There are no buy sell transaction fee
No min investment amount, no transaction fees and instant diversification. Perfect for starting, and automating your investments if you don’t mind the 5-ish% yield.
