Lim Jun Yuan

Lim Jun Yuan is a Singapore-based full-time retail investor and the founder of The Singaporean Investor, a personal-finance blog and education platform he launched to help ordinary Singaporeans evaluate income-producing listed assets. He has been investing and trading full time since April 2017 after leaving an engineering role at Meinhardt Infrastructure, and built his reputation by publishing detailed, plain-English write-ups on Singapore-listed REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts — companies that own income-producing property and pass most of the rental income through to shareholders as distributions) and high-yielding dividend counters on the SGX.

His track record is in retail-investor education, not commodity analysis. He is the author of Building Your REIT-irement Portfolio, a step-by-step book on assembling a Singapore-focused retirement income stream from listed REITs and dividend stocks. The book has been sold through Amazon, Shopee, and Contently, and the underlying framework — diversifying across sponsor-backed REIT managers, REIT sub-sectors (commercial, industrial, healthcare), and high-yielding non-REIT equities — is the same one he applies on his own portfolio. The site lists a long-running archive of single-name REIT reviews, distribution-yield comparisons, and portfolio-update posts dating back several years.

His approach is grounded, screen-first, and explicitly aimed at retail readers with no finance background. He evaluates opportunities by combining distribution yield, gearing (the REIT equivalent of leverage — debt used to amplify asset purchases), sponsor quality, and the underlying asset class's exposure to Singapore's macro and property cycle, then explains each filter in non-technical language. He is a regular speaker at Singapore retail-investor events including the REIT Symposium, INVEST Fair, and the REI Summit, and contributes guest commentary on platforms such as InvestingNote and SmallCap Asia on Singapore market outlook, mid- and small-cap catalysts, and the long-term income case for REITs versus Singapore banks.

Commodity and mining relevance: limited. Lim Jun Yuan does not publish research on metals, minerals, energy commodities, or mining equities, and his book, blog, and speaking circuit are focused entirely on Singapore REITs and dividend stocks. A resource-stock investor would find his work useful only as a methodology reference — disciplined yield-screening, written-up thesis per position, regular portfolio disclosure — rather than as a source of commodity views. His appearance in Pixys's video catalogue reflects his retail-investing reach, not a mining angle.
