Money and Me: Why it pays to invest in US dividend stocks
Stability, consistent paying dividends, and competitive yields are some of the many reasons why many of us choose to invest in Singapore dividend stocks. In fact, with Singapore dividend yields boasting an average of 4-6% dividend, as compared to that of the US where they typically offer 3% yield or less - not forgetting 30% US dividend withholding tax on all dividends received from US listed equities -, you may wonder, is it still worth investing in US dividend paying stocks?
Packed with decades of experience in analysing and choosing the best global dividend stocks, Willie Keng, Founder, Dividend Titan joins Dan Koh on Money and Me to share why he believes everyone should be looking to the US for some of the best dividend players.
They discuss fundamentals to look at when assessing a sustainable dividend payer, the investment approach to take when investing in the US and stock ideas you may want to consider adding into your portfolio today.
