The market does not wait for you! But how to start investing? There are 3 ways to start doing so: Do-It-Yourself (DIY), Advisory & Portfolio Review, or a Discretionary Managed Account.
DIY: Do-It-Yourself
The first option is the Do-It-Yourself method. There are many resources online available to teach you how to start investing, but do note that the DIY method still requires a lot of personal commitment and time.
Personal Commitment required –
- Knowledge
- Skillset
- Experience
- Time to do research
- Time to monitor the market
- Time to register and sign up various accounts
- Guts to pull the trigger
Here are some tips that may help you start investing, should you decide to Do-It-Yourself:
Attend Courses
If you would like to invest in REITs, do attend courses.
See courses as an investment! They can help you save potentially thousands of hours of frustration and hard work failing, when you can learn the ways from the people in the industry.

Take a look at the individual stocks you would like to invest
One quick way to get an overview of stocks is by using a Stock Screener.
By investing in Stock Screeners, you get to get an overview of a particular stock/REIT in an instant. For example, the above-mentioned REIT screener gives you information such as leverage ratio, property overview, and debt information, all-in-one page.

Why build a diversified portfolio?
- Reduced volatility from market forces and global events
For example, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, for Singapore REITs, the hospitality sector is hit hard, but the industrial sector isn’t. A well-diversified portfolio can help soften the impact. It should include multiple asset classes, including unit trusts, global equities, alternative investments e.g. cryptocurrency, fixed-income investments and investment properties e.g. REITs.
This applies to the various asset classes as well. A diversified portfolio is less volatile, ranging between -21.95% and +19.07% growth rate from 2004-2019, averaging 7% per year. Compared to Real Estate for example, with growth rates ranging anywhere from -39.2% to +35.7% in a year.
As you can see, some asset classes and investments have lower risk but lower yield, while some have much higher yields but much higher risks. For example, REITs are much less volatile compared to cryptocurrency assets which can more than double or halve its value in less than a day.
Construct your very own, fully customisable investment portfolio, tailored to your risk profile and investment needs today. Interested? Find out more on this page or contact me at kennyloh@fapl.sg.
