Your REIT+ portfolio dividends are automatically reinvested by default. 

Customers on the Syfe Black, Gold or Platinum plans may choose to receive their dividends as quarterly payouts to their designated bank account, or have them automatically reinvested.

When are dividends received?

Dividends are received in your REIT+ portfolio as and when the underlying REITs distribute them. This depends on the dividend distribution schedule of the various REITs. In Singapore, REITs can choose to distribute dividends on a semi-annual or quarterly basis.

You may refer to this link for more information regarding the underlying REITs historical dividend yield and general dividend distribution schedule. 

How are dividends reinvested?

Dividends received are first accumulated in the small cash balance we maintain in your portfolio. When accumulated dividends (along with any new cash inflows) reach an economically viable investment level, our cash management algorithm will trigger the purchase of additional REITs. The new REITs purchased with your dividends are in proportion to the index weights of the iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index.

When will dividends be paid out to eligible customers? Must I inform Syfe of the bank account I want my dividends to be credited to? 

Eligible customers will receive their payouts quarterly in January, April, July and October. Shortly before dividends are to be credited, Syfe will email customers to obtain details of their bank account if they are not yet provided previously.

Are dividends from the REIT+ portfolio subject to withholding tax?

Distributions by REITs to individuals and Singapore-incorporated tax resident companies are generally not subject to withholding tax. For individuals who derive the distributions from the carrying on of a trade, business or profession or from a partnership in Singapore and other legal persons in Singapore (such as resident companies in Singapore), such gross distributions may be subject to income tax. Please consult your tax advisers.
