In October last year, I tabulated my investing portfolio for the first time and wrote about it here:  My portfolio at 23 years old . I started investing because I wanted better returns on my extra cash(it's not the cash in my emergency funds) than just leaving it inside the bank account while I was going to be in National Service. I did not start investing because I wanted dividend income but as I read on, I was inspired by the financial bloggers in Singapore. So how much did I receive for 2017?  CDL Hospitality Trusts: $66.10  CapitaMall Trust: $44.56  Nikko AM STI ETF: $46.35  Total dividends: $157.01 Average dividends per month: $13.08 The dividends are currently kept in my CIMB FastSaver bank account with 1% p.a. I will be buying the Singapore Savings Bonds (fully backed by the Singapore government) with the dividends along with some of my emergency cash to obtain a slightly higher return while still maintaining flexibility.  Screen-grab from the Singapo
