QUOTE(wongmunkeong @ Jul 4 2012, 04:29 PM) 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 Note: I'm just a customer/user - not attached to HLeB. Please call to get the latest data yar  (just in case of changes) [attachmentid=2929339] Are you charged in Singapore as well as in Malaysia? |

QUOTE(wongmunkeong @ Jul 4 2012, 09:01 PM) Huh? er.. my costs are just those as stated. All there - specifically item (3) in the list? English neh, not nihong-go wor  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. |

QUOTE(wongmunkeong @ Jul 5 2012, 08:21 AM) 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"?
Added on July 5, 2012, 8:26 amWell, to it's a good idea for cost purposes but, IMHO, as a holistic planning including estate planning (ie. die then how ar the a/c and $?), easier control and passing on to beneficiaries if brokerage in MY, since my Will is drawn in MY and executed in MY. 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. |

QUOTE(oblimey @ Jul 10 2012, 10:40 PM) 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. 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. |

QUOTE(activez @ Jul 18 2012, 04:40 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(cwhong @ Jul 19 2012, 11:00 AM) 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 .....  If I'm not wrong the foreign exchange change is better outside than brokerage. Anyway, I do have agreement to get a fixed rate of the SGD and I previously do have income in SGD. |
