Positive Carry
Based on the dividend yield of 6% p.a. and 3.28%* financing charge, Initial Investment: S$50,000,
Total purchased based on margin multiplier:
S$50,000 x 3.5
=S$175,000
Outlay
Financing
Estimated annual yield: S$175,000 x 6% = S$10,500
Estimated cost: (S$175,000-S$50,000) x 3.28% = S$4,100
Net annual yield: S$10,500 – S$4,100 = S$6,400
