🟩 Waking up to see DBS hitting record highs while your UOB position bleeds red is a terrifying feeling for any Singaporean investor. In 2025, we are witnessing a massive 30% performance gap between our local banks, leading many to ask a dangerous question: "Did I pick the wrong horse?" This video tackles the anxiety of holding laggards while the rest of the market rallies, and investigates whether your retirement capital is actually at risk or if you are staring at a misunderstood opportunity.

We go beyond the headlines to explain the historic "decoupling" happening in the SGX right now. I break down the specific credit risks weighing on UOB versus the wealth management engine driving DBS, and why the market is pricing them so differently. We also dive into Singtel's massive S$6.4 billion data center ambition and explain why CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) is aggressively selling off properties even as the wider REIT sector climbs.

Before you panic sell your underperformers or chase the momentum too late, watch this full analysis to understand the "math" behind the fear. I share my specific "Wait vs. Buy" verdict for retirees with a 10-year horizon and reveal whether UOB is currently a yield trap or the bargain of the decade for your dividend portfolio.
