    September is shaping up to be an interesting month for Singapore investors, especially if you are looking beyond the usual blue-chip names.

    Fresh attention is turning to Singapore’s next tier of companies, with the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index putting mid-sized stocks firmly in the spotlight. Some are already rewarding shareholders with higher dividends, while the new CGS Fullgoal Singapore Next 50 Active ETF is giving investors another way to gain exposure to this part of the market.

    Income remains a strong theme too. This week, we look at blue chips and smaller SGX companies paying investors more, while a 10-year comparison of DBS, OCBC and UOB shows what a hypothetical S$10,000 investment in each bank could have become.

    We also tackle a bigger portfolio question: if you had S$50,000, should it stay in CPF or fixed deposits, or could dividend stocks put that money to better use? And for investors whose portfolios lean heavily towards Singapore income stocks, we explore why adding US growth companies could create a better balance for the years ahead.

    Here are this week’s top articles:
