Yes, Simply Wall St's dividend tracker can help SGX income investors, as long as you treat its forecasts as estimates and cross-check the payout dates yourself.

It shows your annual and monthly dividend income, current yield and yield on cost in one dashboard, adds forecasts of 3+ years, and sends daily alerts when a company declares or changes a payout.

In my test on DBS (data dated 8 October 2026), it flagged a 3.98% yield, a 65% payout ratio and a dividend it called volatile, which is exactly the kind of nuance an income investor needs to see.

This is a second look at the platform. If you want the general Snowflake Score and pricing review, my earlier Simply Wall St review for Singapore investors covers it. This post stays on one tool only: the dividend tracker.

It is a portfolio view inside Simply Wall St that focuses on income instead of price. You load your holdings, and it calculates what those holdings pay you, then projects what they may pay next. The page describes it as a single source of truth for dividends across thousands of listed companies.

Here is what it covers, based on the product page.

In plain terms, a normal portfolio tracker tells you what your shares are worth. This one tells you what your shares are paying, which is the question that matters when you hold counters for income.

This was my first question, because the tracker's own page lists popular markets such as the US, UK, Australia, India, Canada, Japan and Germany, and does not name SGX. So I tested it on a counter every Singapore income investor knows: DBS (SGX: D05).

The dividend page for DBS loaded fully, with data dated 8 October 2026. Here is what it showed.

That bold row is the honest crux. A bank most of us think of as a steady payer still fails the stability check. My read is that the volatility likely reflects the pandemic-era payout cut, when banks were asked to limit dividends, though the page itself does not say so. Either way, I would rather see the flag than not see it.

So SGX is covered, at least for large caps. I have not tested every small-cap counter, so check each of your own holdings before you rely on the numbers.

The setup takes about ten minutes if you have your holdings list handy.

One detail I appreciate: the page offers a demo you can click through without signing in, so you can judge the layout before you commit anything. If you want to try it, here is the Simply Wall St link I use. It is an affiliate link, so InvestKaki may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.

Simply Wall St runs three plans: Free, Premium and Unlimited. I could not confirm the current prices from the plans page, so check it directly before you decide. What the comparison table does show is how the limits differ.

The practical takeaway: the Free plan caps you at 10 holdings and limited dividend analysis. A typical SGX income portfolio of banks, a few REITs and a couple of industrials may fit within 10, but the moment you add ETFs and a satellite position, you will likely hit the ceiling. Some rows on the plans page, such as broker sync, were blank, so confirm which plan includes it before you count on it.

The honest answer is that each option wins on a different job. This table is my own qualitative read, not a feature audit of every product.

I use Sharesight for the Value Kakis model portfolio, because performance reporting is what that job needs. The Simply Wall St tracker is closer to a dividend health check. They answer different questions, so they can sit side by side.

I found one problem worth naming. On the DBS page, the latest interim dividend showed two different per-share figures in different entries: S$0.81 in one, and 66 cents in the announcement entry. The key info box also still showed the ex-dividend and payment dates as not available, even though the August 2026 dates had already passed. I would not plan cash flow from this page alone without checking the SGX announcement.

What I would watch: whether the dates and per-share figures on your own holdings match the company's SGX announcements for your first two payout cycles. If they do, the tool earns its place.

Personally, I think it suits investors who already own several dividend payers and want early warning on payout health. It fits less well if you hold two or three counters and a single ETF, because a simple spreadsheet will do the job for free.

If you are still choosing which counters to hold, start with my guide on the best SGX dividend stocks for 2026, then use a tracker to monitor them. If you have not opened a CDP account yet, my beginner guide to getting started with SGX stocks walks through it. I also pull my favourite tools together in the free Your Ultimate Guide to Investing Tools ebook, which you can get by joining the newsletter.

There is a free plan, but it limits you to 10 holdings and limited dividend analysis. New accounts also get 7 days of Premium with no credit card. Check the plans page for current paid pricing.

Yes for the large cap I tested. DBS (SGX: D05) showed full dividend data dated 8 October 2026. The tracker's feature page does not list SGX by name, so test your own holdings.

The tracker only displays holdings you enter or sync, so it does not care which account holds them. Whether a given counter is eligible for CPF or SRS investing is a separate question, so check with your bank or broker.

It is the annual dividend divided by the price you originally paid, not today's price. If you paid less years ago, your yield on cost can be higher than the current yield on the screen.

They are estimates. The tracker describes future payments as declared or estimated, so treat anything not yet declared as a projection and verify against SGX announcements.

The product page mentions broker sync with 2,000+ brokers, but does not list which ones. It also lets you upload a spreadsheet or statement, or enter holdings manually. Confirm your broker before relying on sync.

Yes. Smart Alerts send daily notices on declarations, payout changes and dividend risks, according to the product page.

It showed a payout ratio of about 65%, described as covered by earnings, and a forecast of 68.7% in three years. It also failed the stable dividend check because payments were volatile over 10 years.

It is better at forecasts and risk flags, and worse on control and cost. A spreadsheet is free and fully yours, but you maintain every date by hand.

The Simply Wall St link in this post is an affiliate link, so InvestKaki may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. My views on the tool are my own.

The dividend tracker gives SGX income investors something a broker app rarely does: a payout health check. Seeing a 65% payout ratio next to a failed stability flag on DBS tells you more than the yield alone.

The open question is data quality. I found conflicting per-share figures and missing dates on a single page, and I have not tested small caps. That is not a reason to skip the tool, but it is a reason to verify.

If you want to try it, use the 7-day Premium trial on a real portfolio, and compare the numbers against SGX announcements for your first two payout cycles. Decide after that whether the paid plan earns its place.
