Is property a hedge against inflation?

A trust costs around $10,000 to set up. I've looked into setting one up for a group I run as a way of handling the Shareholder Agreement and Allocations. Not cheap to set up and not cheap to maintain.

Thanks for the insights!

Most in Singapore have large exposure to the property market. The idea of owning a home worth 7 figures is rare in most parts of the world, but it’s common here.

Since 2008, the low interest rates have made it a no-brainer to buy rather than rent. My monthly interest expense over the past 10 years has been about 20% of the rent I’d have to pay for the same unit.

Agreed.

It was the reason I bought my ulit in 1999 at the close of the Asian Financial Meltdown of '97. Taking a 14 year mortgage was also a big benefit as well.
