With dividends, NAV of SPDR STI ETF gained 140.4% in 10 years: SGX

Last week State Street Global Advisers updated the 10-year performance chart of the SPDR STRAITS TIMES Index (STI) ETF as of the end of 2013.

Introduced in April 2002, the SPDR STI ETF invests in the stocks that make up the index, which are then weighted in order to resemble the performance of the index. These stocks become the primary assets of the fund. The fund will also be made up of multiple units, each of which has a Net Asset Value (NAV). Essentially, you can “invest” in the Straits Times Index using an ETF.

In the 10 years ending December 2013, with dividends, the NAV of the SPDR STI ETF gained 140.4%. Without dividends, the NAV gained 78.7%. On an annualised basis, the NAV of the ETF averaged a 9.2% annual gain with dividends and a 6% annual gain without dividends.

STI ETF not a CPF stock?
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

Sometimes just passively investing in the index is a good idea, since most fund managers cant even beat the index, lol

CPF OA can buy STI-ETF.

But I prefer other regional/global ETFs. Give the UTs mgrs a run for their money.

One must be wary of the start and end period when reporting fund performance. The variation in the fund performance can be significant and the report period is often manipulated for marketing purposes.

For an index ETF, it will be more meaning to look at the tracking error and the annual expense for performance comparison.

In Singapore, there is not much of a choice for ETF but in US exchanges there are plenty of options available.

Also I like to add that nobody will throw every cents on the exact start and sell all at the end of the period. This chart starting and ending are all chosen on hindsights.
