24M building a Singapore dividend portfolio (~$21.5k) — thoughts on the allocation?
Hi everyone, wanted to get some thoughts on my dividend portfolio and whether my approach makes sense.
Some context:
• 24M working in tech in Singapore
• Monthly income around $9k
• My goal is long-term wealth growth, but I also like building a dividend income stream over time.
Current portfolio:
Singapore dividend stocks (~$21.5k total):
• DBS
• OCBC
• UOB
• Mapletree Industrial Trust
• Mapletree Logistics Trust
• Keppel DC REIT
• CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust
Estimated dividend yield: around ~4–5%
Other assets:
• VOO / US market exposure
• Bitcoin
• \~$50k cash
My thinking right now is:
• Build a Singapore dividend base (banks + REITs)
• Gradually add more growth stocks / ETFs alongside it.
Questions:
1. Is this too concentrated in banks and REITs?
2. Are there any SG dividend stocks worth adding that I might be missing?
3. At my age, does it make sense to focus on dividends, or should I prioritize global growth ETFs first?
4. Would you personally continue building SG dividend exposure or diversify internationally earlier?
Would really appreciate any feedback or criticism.
Thanks!
