    Building a successful investment portfolio is not just about finding the next big winner. It is about creating a strategy that can generate income, grow over time, and support your financial goals through different stages of life.

    This week’s Smart Reads explores how to invest S$100,000 for long-term income, identify defensive REITs for passive income, and spot companies rewarding shareholders with higher dividends and share buybacks. 

    We also look at DBS’ future potential, retirement planning from age 40, and the different ways businesses like Meta and OCBC create value for shareholders.
