Got this when i started several months back (Feb/Mar 2012).
Look at the "Foreign Currency" columns for each country for multi-currency a/c
Look at the "RM" columns for each country if not opting for multi-currency a/c

For example, you buy Singapore stocks, do you get charged in Singapore brokerage as well? Like I know people trading foreign stocks, they will be charged both side....Malaysia and Singapore.

osk188.com ...... osk partnering dmg at singapore side .....

yes, charge at two side ......

Thanks. So I better open a trading account in Spore in order to avoid that.

anoneh bro,
The list i attached already have that costed in - thus i found your Q very weird when it's ALREADY stated in the uploaded scanned list.
Sorry ar - blur on why such Q when already answered/listed http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1186899/+1639
U did click on the JPEG to make it pop-up bigger.... right? See row (3.) in it? "3. Transaction Charges by Foreign Broker"?

I don't intend to have Wills in every country i invest in hehe - not THAT rich.
Perhaps not many people look that far, it's just "my personal reality"

Anyway the Q was already answered by cwhong. The reason I'm asking as I also saw (1) as well as (3). So it's like double charged not to mention that you are charged at "worse" currency exchange. Since I've already have a savings account in Singapore, might as well utilized that for investment purposes as well.

I am aiming at Singapore Plantation Stocks for Golden Agri-Resources and First Resources. Both are at very attractive price now.

Hi, newbie here, i would like to know which singapore banks will accecpt walkin client to open a saving account and link to Singapore broking hse. Thanks in advance and happy trading.

didnt they say they were linking up sgx with bursa? didnt they say it was to be ready in june?

they mentioned in their announcement that with the link-up you need to pay only 1 side.

The plan delay liao mah... have to wait longer...

Thanks for the info. But I believe it is not ready, thus, majority of the people are paying both ways. Anyway, I can just go down south to open the account and trade here, not a major issue to me.

yeah, patiently waiting for this to realised so far just a dream ....

I am also keen on doing this. Opening Singapore savings account to invest in Singapore shares.

However my remisier is advising me against opening Singapore CDS account. He mentioned that I may miss out on 'corporate actions'.

May I know what are the pros and cons of trading Singapore shares via Malaysia and directly in Singapore? What are the requirements needed to open Singapore CDS account?

Thanks!

Your remisier is Malaysian broker right? Sure he advice against doing so. To me, I feel better as we do not lose in foreign exchange a lot and we are not charged both side.

lose in foreign exchange unless u earn in SGD only however if buy using RM still lose exchange rates mah ....... but agree on charged from both side .....

Fellow forumers, any views on Yamada?
Price looks depressed + ROEs, ROAs and Gross Margins look good
My worries are:
a. "Newly" listed - 2010 i think
b. A China company listed in SGX

bro wmk, our SG counterpart also really scared to touch redchips as what our MY fellow investors think they have few accounting books one ..... anyway i dun have answer for ur questions leh ..... sorry
