Portfolio Update: Buying A Dividend Stock I Once Knew, Creating a 6% Dividend Portfolio

This week saw further deployment of my capital earned from Yangzijiang Financial. I bought Keppel Pacific Oak REIT at 21 US cents. It was bought for its future dividend where from 2026, KORE will resume its distributions.

Portfolio Composition

40% of my portfolio are now in US REITs, listed in SGX. While they are not strong beneficary of the $5 billion MAS funds, my thoughts is investing in them for their potential high yield earned far exceeds the need. Owning this dividend stocks are much better than owning Singapore stocks or buying a property on leverage.

As a result for 2026, the inflow of dividend should be approximately $60,000, giving a 6% dividend. Current total Portfolio Value is close to a million sing dollar.

For United Hampshire US REIT, if share prices remains at this level, it is likely I will opt for the dividend reinvestment plan which will increase my holdings. Returns wise, since my challenge to property agents, United Hampshire US REIT has provided 2.5 US cents capital gain + 4.1 US cents in dividend. That is a 14.5% returns in less than a year. It is likely the REIT will be giving 4.2 US cents in dividend in 2026, which makes it a 9% dividend yield on current price.
