a value realisation dividend (VRD) of S$0.038.</p><p>The VRD is an additional component of Singtel’s core dividend policy derived from the proceeds of capital recycling and will be between S$0.03 to

Christmas approaches, it’s time to think of what gifts you’d like to buy for your loved ones.For investors, there is no greater gift than being able to pass your stocks down to your children or next-of-kin.These shares will form part of the legacy you leave behind to help the next generation to continue to build and grow their wealth.However, you need to carefully curate the stocks that you plan to bequeath to your loved ones as only strong and reliable businesses should qualify.Blue-chip stocks are the best candidates as they exhibit robust business models and have been through good times and bad.Here are four blue-chip stocks that you should feel at ease passing down to your children.DBS Group (SGX: D05)DBS Group is Singapore’s largest bank by market capitalisation and forms one of the pillars of Singapore’s economy.The lender is an important cog that helps to grease the wheels of commerce as it extends loans, provides insurance, and assists with investments.Investors should

years, SGX’s multi-asset strategy has helped to grow and diversify its revenue stream.Management sees good prospects in growing its foreign exchange franchise along with its commodity slate of products.SGX’s aim is to grow its revenue by between 6% to 8% per annum in the medium term.Singtel (SGX: Z74)Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication company and offers a broad range of services such as mobile and broadband for individuals and cybersecurity and ICT services for corporations.The telco has demonstrated better overall numbers since it initiated its strategic reset back in 2021.Its core dividend (comprising an interim and final dividend) has been increasing since fiscal 2021 (FY2021) ending 31 March.It went from S$0.075 in FY2021 to S$0.15 in FY2024 but FY2024’s total dividend included a value realisation dividend (VRD) of S$0.038.The VRD is an additional component of Singtel’s core dividend policy derived from the proceeds of capital recycling and will be between S$0.03 to S$0.06 annually.For the first half of fiscal 2025 (1H FY2025), Singtel reported a strong set of earnings with operating profit climbing 27% year on year to S$738 million, led by both Optus and NCS.The telco’s underlying net profit was up 6% year on year to S$1.2 billion.Singtel declared a total interim dividend of S$0.07 comprising a core dividend of S$0.056 and a VRD of S$0.014.This dividend was 35% higher than the S$0.052 paid out a year ago.As part of the group’s ST28 long-term strategy, it will simplify product offerings and innovate with new technologies such as network slicing.It will also develop new revenue streams in the areas of artificial intelligence and data centres.Singapore Airlines Limited (SGX: C6L)Singapore Airlines Limited, or SIA, is

Christmas approaches, it’s time to think of what gifts you’d like to buy for your loved ones.For investors, there is no greater gift than being able to pass your stocks down to your children or next-of-kin.These shares will form part of the legacy you leave behind to help the next generation to continue to build and grow their wealth.However, you need to carefully curate the stocks that you plan to bequeath to your loved ones as only strong and reliable businesses should qualify.Blue-chip stocks are the best candidates as they exhibit robust business models and have been through good times and bad.Here are four blue-chip stocks that you should feel at ease passing down to your children.DBS Group (SGX: D05)DBS Group is Singapore’s largest bank by market capitalisation and forms one of the pillars of Singapore’s economy.The lender is an important cog that helps to grease the wheels of commerce as it extends loans, provides insurance, and assists with investments.Investors should

interest rate environment.Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68)Singapore Exchange Limited, or SGX, is Singapore’s sole stock exchange operator.The group enjoys a natural monopoly by being the only bourse operator here.SGX reported a resilient set of earnings for its fiscal 2024 (FY2024) ending 30 June 2024.Revenue increased by 3.1% year on year to S$1.2 billion while net profit (excluding

years, SGX’s multi-asset strategy has helped to grow and diversify its revenue stream.Management sees good prospects in growing its foreign exchange franchise along with its commodity slate of products.SGX’s aim is to grow its revenue by between 6% to 8% per annum in the medium term.Singtel (SGX: Z74)Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication company and offers a broad range of services such as mobile and broadband for individuals and cybersecurity and ICT services for corporations.The telco has demonstrated better overall numbers since it initiated its strategic reset back in 2021.Its core dividend (comprising an interim and final dividend) has been increasing since fiscal 2021 (FY2021) ending 31 March.It went from S$0.075 in FY2021 to S$0.15 in FY2024 but FY2024’s total dividend included a value realisation dividend (VRD) of S$0.038.The VRD is an additional component of Singtel’s core dividend policy derived from the proceeds of capital recycling and will be between S$0.03 to S$0.06 annually.For the first half of fiscal 2025 (1H FY2025), Singtel reported a strong set of earnings with operating profit climbing 27% year on year to S$738 million, led by both Optus and NCS.The telco’s underlying net profit was up 6% year on year to S$1.2 billion.Singtel declared a total interim dividend of S$0.07 comprising a core dividend of S$0.056 and a VRD of S$0.014.This dividend was 35% higher than the S$0.052 paid out a year ago.As part of the group’s ST28 long-term strategy, it will simplify product offerings and innovate with new technologies such as network slicing.It will also develop new revenue streams in the areas of artificial intelligence and data centres.Singapore Airlines Limited (SGX: C6L)Singapore Airlines Limited, or SIA, is
