    Well, it all depends ... it really should be a blend of you live once, you'll live for a long time and you might have to provide for your kid's living ....

    The two HK utility stocks that I own (6823 HKT and 2638 HK Electric) have been my best performing stocks this year. Both have weathered the political and health shitstorm of the last 12 months quite well and are actually up for the year.

    But balance is key. You need a couple of tech stocks, banks, REIT's, overall don't hold too many (less than 10 should be enough) and then bob's your uncle.

    How do you personally invest in REIT's?

    But other than that the monthly investment plan is the way to go for fixed dollar cost averaging on a low cost..
    believe the minimum charge is hk30 for dividend handling.
