11:18 min

Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Mondays, The Business Times breaks down actionable financial tips.

This episode is aimed at those who are interested in investing in property through real estate investment trusts (Reits) and Chris Lim hosts Dhruv Arora, founder and chief executive of robo investment advisory Syfe.

He explains some basic starter tips:

3. Is it prudent to diversify your Reit portfolio? (3:23)
