Positive Carry

Based on the dividend yield of 6% p.a. and 3.08%* financing charge, Initial Investment: S$50,000,

Total purchased based on margin multiplier:
S$50,000 x 3.5
=S$175,000

Estimated annual yield: S$175,000 x 6% = S$10,500
Estimated cost: (S$175,000-S$50,000) x 3.08% = S$3,850
Net annual yield: S$10,500 – S$3,850 = S$6,650

Return On Equity (ROE)#: S$6,650/ S$50,000 = 13.3%
