Now, too many people want in.
It is now a fair price

Today, the price is S$ 1.38 a unit.

In early September 2015, I had a chat with another reader who had reservations about investing in AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT (AA REIT) for income.

See the chat:
http://singaporeanstocksinvestor.blogspot.sg/2015/09/a-chit-chat-session-with-ak-on-reits.html

What was the unit price back then? $1.35 a unit.

How much income did AA REIT distribute from then to now?

23 Dec 15: 2.8c

23 Mar 16: 2.85c

22 Jun 16: 2.95c

22 Sep 16: 2.75c

22 Dec 16: 2.75c

23 Mar 17: 2.77c

Total DPU: 16.87c





Now, don't ask me how much have I received over the years. 

I am too lazy to find out.

Some ask me if this is a good time to invest in the REIT. 

Basically, they want to know if the REIT's unit price is going to fall in future. 

They don't want to buy and end up losing money.

I would tell them it depends on what they are after. 





If they want to invest in real estate for a constant stream of income, AA REIT is a good enough choice. 

If they are looking for capital appreciation, then, they might want to look elsewhere.

Income tax payable and donation.

We work hard to earn money and, being good citizens, those of us who earn more money give a portion of our earned income to our country.

This is why IRAS always thanked me for the contribution towards nation building but not anymore.

Many things have changed in my life. This is another change.

I like to think that I am still contributing towards nation building and although I do not get any tax breaks for donations made to National University of Singapore, I continue to make donations.

Of course, the donation is smaller in amount now.

When was the last time I paid income tax?
