    Singapore’s FY2025 budget was announced earlier this week, which outlined how the Government plans aimed at strengthening the country’s capital markets.

    We took a look at how these measures can potentially affect investors like you and I.

    The best legacy that you can leave for your children are the shares of solid, dividend-paying blue-chip stocks.

    We highlighted four blue chip stocks that can potentially stand the test of time.

    Elsewhere, we delved into retail REITs and presented a list of four names with distribution yields of over 5.7%. 

    With inflation easing significantly from its highs and interest rates stabilising, things may be looking up and income investors can add retail REITs on their watchlist as this REIT sub-segment offers attractive yields.

    Looking beyond Singapore, the US markets can offer a bevy of strong growth stocks to consider.

    We presented a list of four stocks with characteristics such as a strong, robust business model, a track record of growing revenue, profits, and free cash flow, and sustainable catalysts.

    Lastly, we explore ways Millennials can place more of their salaries into equities for the long term in a bid to grow their nest egg for retirement.
