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.

EWS: Singapore Stock Market Looks Less Attractive Than Its Wider Economy

EWS has outperformed the S&P 500 recently, sparking interest in Singapore's innovative economy. Despite these recent gains, EWS's long-term returns are lackluster, with only 151% in total return over nearly 30 years. The ETF's seventeen holdings do not effectively capture Singapore's broad economic strength and innovation leadership.

Country ETF Dividends

Topping the list and outperforming in that span have been emerging market countries like Brazil and India, which are both up well over 6.5%. International ETFs don't only have momentum on their side, but they also offer higher yields than the US at the current moment. Across all 22 ETFs, the average yield stands at 3.25%.

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.
