For DBS Vickers, may I know do they provide those services like nominee accounts whereby we will pay some fees so that we can ask them to subscribe to rights issue etc? If not, then will be a bit troublesome right?

Also, do they charge for accepting dividends into "trust" account? Or, are the dividends credited straight into our singapore bank accounts? If credited straight into singapore bank accounts, are there any "processing fees" charged by the bank?

TQ so much for answers!

Might just open a normal direct account with DBS. The AUTO SELL feature seems to be able to solve the headache of exercising. A little bit concern about the price at which they sell. Prefer DBS Vickers over Standard Chartered nominee as I think it is more involved in securities business than SCB. About DBS nominees, I think those nominees are for their foreign shares account. All foreign shares accounts are traded under nominees account. If you are worried about estate planning, maybe you should avoid the foreign shares at the moment but having said that, i think eventhough legally the shares are under nominees, it should not b a major problem to get it passed to your beneficiaries in case of death. There are so many big shareholdings under nominees account and I think they would have looked into that but I am not 100% sure on that. Yet to find out.
