Here's all the ETFs that's traded on the SGX. However, be careful that a multiple of them are replicated using derivatives which may subject you to counter-party risk.

What do you think of STI ETF? i am considering to B & H in the future for "safety in numbers". Am i correct to say that? But is it a worthy B & H even after all the fund's "expenses"? If i use CPF OA money to buy, is it still viable considering foregoing 2.5 to 3.5 % of interest p/a? All opinions are welcome. (Er.....sorli, i only got very basic arithmetics ).HuhSmile
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

I used to have STI ETF, long before it became 'SIP' and now I can't invest unless I go for 'SIP' exams! Big Grin

Anyway, STI ETF also pays dividend twice a year. The last one for Dec11 = 5.5ct ; Jun11 = 4.5ct. The payout depends on the amount they collected from the STI component stocks. Oh ya, it's one of the rare few non-synthethic ones ie. not using Derivatives (pls do chk yourself). The Yield should be enough to cover OA 'opportuniy cost' but will fluctuate depending on your entry price and Dividend Payouts.

I have not checked the ETF's expenses but I just assumed that it's a lot lower than Unit Trusts. Even Warren Buffett recommends ETF vs Funds (like our Unit Trusts) cos' of the much lower expenses, for those who doesn't know how to invest in stocks well...

STI ETF does have a little derivatives for certain purpose I remembered STI was holding Golden Agr warrants for one reporting period last time I checked.

Nikko STI ETF(f.k.a DBS STI ETF) holds a little currency contract I read in one of their reports.

but they are considered safe as the exposure is minimum and non-speculative in nature.
