CDP vs Custodian — what's the difference?

CDP (Central Depository): shares are registered directly in your name at the Singapore Exchange's depository. Dividends go straight to your bank, AGM rights flow to you directly. The traditional model.

Custodian (omnibus): the broker holds shares on your behalf in a pooled account. Cheaper commissions, but you don't appear on the share register; dividends route through the broker; voting rights typically not exercised. Most newer low-cost brokers (Tiger, Moomoo, IBKR) use this model.

Neither is “better” — it's a tradeoff between cost and ownership clarity. For long-term REIT income investors who value direct dividend deposits and AGM access, CDP wins. For active traders or those using SRS aggressively, custodian platforms often win on total cost.

SRS — should I use it for REITs?

SRS (Supplementary Retirement Scheme) is a Singapore tax-deferred wrapper. Contributions reduce taxable income; withdrawals after age 62 are taxed at 50% of the prevailing rate. For dividend-heavy REIT portfolios with a long holding horizon, SRS compounds efficiently — but this site doesn't give tax advice. See your accountant or the IRAS SRS guide.
