EWS: Singapore Offers Solid Valuations And A Potential Safe Haven
Singapore's stable, innovative economy and prudent governance make EWS a relatively safe investment with solid long-term upside, despite recent strong gains limiting near-term potential. EWS offers geographic diversification, low management fees, and a 3.83% dividend yield, but is concentrated in traditional sectors and lacks exposure to emerging tech. Singapore's population growth is driven by skilled immigration, supporting domestic demand and competitiveness, though demographic and political risks remain.

Investing In Singapore Is A Great, High-Risk Opportunity
EWS offers a 3.92% dividend yield and has shown strong momentum, gaining over 10% in 6 months and over 30% in a year. Singapore's robust economic indicators, including 5% GDP growth, low inflation and a positive interest-rate outlook, make it an attractive investment despite high government debt. The ETF's concentration in a few sectors and reliance on China pose significant risks, especially in the context of geopolitical tensions.
