Independent Investor & Research Writer
The Dividend Uncle is an independent investment research platform focused on dividend investing, Singapore REITs, and income-oriented portfolio strategies. The site publishes analysis and commentary intended to support a clearer understanding of income-generating assets, the risks that shape their performance, and the trade-offs involved in building income portfolios over full market cycles.
Content on this site is written with an emphasis on structure, durability, and fundamentals rather than short-term market movements or tactical trading considerations.
Areas of Focus
Research and commentary on The Dividend Uncle are organised around three core areas of income investing:
- Singapore REITs – In-depth, REIT-by-REIT analysis covering asset quality, balance-sheet strength, sponsor alignment, and long-term income sustainability.
- Dividend Investing & Income ETFs – Structural explanations of dividend-paying stocks and income-focused ETFs, including how distributions are generated, the key drivers of income stability, and the risks involved.
- Portfolio Strategy – Frameworks for positioning income assets such as REITs, dividend stocks, and ETFs within a diversified portfolio, including core and satellite allocations.
These areas are presented through reference-style guides, analytical toolkits, and individual security reviews, with the objective of helping readers evaluate income instruments as operating businesses rather than purely yield-based investments.
Editorial Approach and Standards
Articles published on this site are written as research and analysis pieces intended to be educational and evergreen. The focus is on explaining how income-generating assets work, what drives their cash flows, and how structural factors — such as regulation, capital management, and funding conditions — influence outcomes over time.
The Dividend Uncle operates independently and does not provide personalised financial advice. Views expressed are general in nature and intended to support understanding rather than prescribe specific actions.
