What will be a good benchmark to gauge investment return for Singapore investor? DJIA / S&P500 or STI?


What will be a good benchmark to gauge investment return for Singapore investor? DJIA / S&P500 or STI?

I presume DJIA refers to the Dow Jones index in USA ?

Actually, the first thing I would consider is the bond yield in Singapore. It is because bond yield reflects the return of a risk free investment.

And then you can consider what return you require and choose the investment (be it stocks, commodities etc etc) and risk level accordingly. Then you can choose your benchmark.

Or the short answer is if you invest in mostly domestic stocks in Singapore, it makes sense to compare performance vs. STI.
Also worth bearing in mind if you choose the US index as your benchmark, you need to factor in the currency as well.

If you invest globally, probably the best benchmark is MSCI. See the link below.
