Which Stock is Your Retirement Pick?
This week, $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ hit a new high, reaching SGD 18.8!
Some Tigers said: “I’m counting on OCBC for my retirement. It’s up over 80% in the past 5 years—just holding it gives me peace of mind.” OCBC remains the cheapest among the Big Three banks, and its earnings continue to perform steadily.
But… can a single stock really be enough for retirement?
Bank-retirement camp: Holding bank stocks long-term = steady happiness.
REIT camp: Relying on cash flow for retirement feels more secure.
It’s really about that feeling of “getting paid every year”: CICT, MIT, FLCT, MLT.
These can also be bought with CPF or through Endowus, making long-term holding even easier.
CPF balances can be used to buy Singapore stocks.
Endowus helps with tax savings and gives access to a wider variety of funds!

A single stock is like putting a one egg in 1 basket. It is fragile, risky and emotionally volatile. It might hatch into something beautiful or crack under pressure. There is no back up, no room for error.
I would prefer to have the 3 Singapore Big Banks plus SReits into 1 Diversified Bento Box.
My Singapore Bank Stocks $DBS(D05.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ are like the protein in my Bento Box - solid, dividend rich and built for long term strength.
SReits like CICT and Ascendas are my grains and greens - steady cash flow, inflation resistance and global exposure.
Together they offer me Income + Growth, Stability + Liquidity.
That is how I create my retirement banquet.

Between banks and REITs, I still lean toward banks as my foundation. REITs provide good cash flow, but DBS and OCBC have proven they can handle cycles, grow dividends, and stay resilient. They give me the long-term confidence I’m looking for without needing to monitor them closely.
I hold them using CPF and cash — CPF for disciplined long-term growth, and cash for adding during attractive valuations. With DBS and OCBC as my core, I feel well-positioned for a stable retirement portfolio, and I’m comfortable building around these two for the long run.

The question for retirement is what is the goal of retirement? If the goal is to pay living expenses from high cost dividend income then banks provide certainty of income. If the goal is to not pay living expenses from dividend income then capital growth is the target. $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ is a high quality bank with share price growth at $ 18.8 per share which is a discount to future earnings

I'm not an expert, but even by reading up, I know that banks will take a hit when interest drops, and REIT climbs when interest drops.
So a good mix of both, would give steady returns allowing for a peace of mind.
As everyone will say, do some reading up, don't just buy into a hype, lest you get into a Tesla situation where the P/E ratio is ridiculous, and you have to worry whether you can still make bank, before the dream turns into a nightmare.
I practice “partial concentrated investing,” keeping around 70% of my portfolio in my top four stocks: UNH, NVDA, ADBE, and BABA. I plan to increase my holdings in these stocks over time. If I had to choose just one for retirement, it would be UNH, as it also provides a decent dividend.
Hoping that Tiger can improve the cash boost account display for bought stocks to be same as Prime. It’s not easy to manual count each reit purchase with SRS funds in cash boost account via the Order button.
