About Finance Pulse
Finance Pulse is an independent data intelligence platform for Asian dividend and REIT investors. We calculate metrics that matter — real yields after inflation, REIT NAV premiums and discounts, foreign institutional flows — that commodity financial sites don't provide.
Our coverage spans 11 Asian markets with a focus on income-generating securities: dividend stocks, REITs, and the cross-border flow signals that move them.
What we do
Real Yield
Fisher-corrected dividend yields across 9 Asian countries. What dividend investors actually keep after local inflation.
REIT Tracker
76 Asian REITs with NAV premium/discount, distribution safety score, aristocrat flag — recomputed daily.
Foreign Flows
Daily institutional net buy/sell, straight from official exchange releases. Beta: derived signals activate after 6–8 weeks of history.
Methodology commitment
Every number we publish has a corresponding methodology entry documenting the formula, the data sources, the refresh cadence, and — importantly — the known limitations. If a metric can be wrong in a particular way, we say so on the same page it appears.

- Yahoo Finance — daily prices, dividend history, ticker metadata (via the
yfinancelibrary). - World Bank Open Data — annual CPI for 11 Asian countries.
