The short answer
  • DBS Bank: Singapore's biggest bank. Consistent dividend payer, well-managed, regional Asia exposure.
  • Jardine Matheson: Hong Kong-based conglomerate listed in Singapore. Real estate, motor dealerships, supermarkets, financial services.
  • Over the past five years DBS Bank stock returned +288% versus +34% for Jardine Matheson, in USD. Past performance is not a guide to the future.
  • They compete in the same space (Finance & banks), so many investors simply own both through a broad index fund instead of picking a winner.

Frequently asked questions

Which performed better, DBS Bank or Jardine Matheson?

Over the past five years DBS Bank stock returned +288% and Jardine Matheson returned +34% in US dollars, so DBS Bank has been the stronger performer in that window. Past performance says little about the future, which is why the chart on this page lets you check other periods too.

Can I buy both DBS Bank and Jardine Matheson shares?

Yes. Nothing stops you owning both companies, and many investors do exactly that instead of trying to pick the winner. Both are available to investors worldwide through a broker such as Interactive Brokers.

Is it safer to buy an ETF instead?

A broad index fund holds hundreds of companies at once, usually including both of these, so a single bad year at one business barely dents it. Owning individual shares concentrates that risk, which is why many beginners keep single stocks to a small slice of a mostly fund-based portfolio.
