can't be 2.63 that high... max maybe 2.61 today.

sgd has been moving between 2.55 to 2.60 in the last year.
but it looks like staying in the higher end more than not.

personally, i see no hope in rm strengthening, only down.
which is the main reason i bought into sgreits with rm starting a year ago or so.
use the sgd div to buy more sg reits, not convert back to rm.
i am hopeful it'll turn out much better in 5 yrs time compared to buying myreits in rm.

yes, i use cimbitrade. take note the info u see online is 10min lag unless u subscribe n pay for a real time service.

1. tax... sgd div are tax free
2. forex... at itrade, check under reports, client summary at the end of the day of purchase, u see the indicative exchange rate. the final one used is what it is on settlement day. so, need to estimate rm to be deposited for payment.
3. not sure if for all, but is 0.42% <rm100k, 0.275% >rm100k, min sgd25. plus some other minor misc fees. u can ask broker to furnish u the table.
4-5. div is auto deposited into the sgd trust account, stay in sgd, no interest gained. if there is sgd, at next purchase, make sure u indicate settlement in sgd - what is there will be used first, balance will be taken from your rm account (assuming u have deposited). if u want sgd in trust acc to be converted to rm and return to yr rm account, just call yr assigned broker.

For China, i have this.

Croesus RTrust

Croesus results is out... 3.5cents DPU for 6 months, 8.9% yield... Can't complain much about this set of numbers...

Ascott price was at 1.06 dropped 0.08 (7%)

Can grab??

Croesus announced private placement below market price. Price drop today 

I m also considering 0.78

Not sure will drop lower than that or not

Keeping for long term...

croesus div is TWICE a year.. This mini div is given coz the extra units. So, this div is given for EXISTING shareholders ..
not the new ones. (means the additional units)

How donu derive the 4.3% and 2.4%?

I m also just started accumulating this counter.

When fed rate hikes, if you want to maintain the spread, the yield has to go up.
And for the yield to go up, the price has to come down.

if I transferred rm to sg bank acc, how much would Maybank MY charge me ? S/C RM10?

OKay,... here's the full answer to all the above questions :-

1) If you use Maybank2U to do yr TT, the charge is ONLY RM10, but the limitation is you can only TT a maximum of RM10000 per day, PER ACCOUNT ! The rate you will have to use os the board rate on the Forex Rates webpage of Maybank2U.

2) If you wish to have a better rate, you need to use the TT Form, approach the branch, and the branch may help you to call Maybank Treasury to get a better rate. The amount TT'ed must be, normally, RM60000 and above. The charge here will be RM25.00 per TT.

3) If you TT to Maybank Singapore or to DBS, there is no charge at the receiving bank.

TT is NOT THE ONLY method to transfer funds out of the country. There are other creative ways, in order to get better rates, and to get lower charges.

I don't know abt OCBC, bro,....I don't do remittance with OCBC,... but judging from what you said abt that RM20k, then yes, the system looks similar like Maybanks's,... RM20k can't command much advantage,....

For Maybank,... the bigger yr amount, as it approaches RM100K, the bigger the spread that you will get. Can get 150 to 200 basis points difference. I eard when,... err,... 1MDB TT's RMs to err,... BSI Sgp earlier, they got 1000 bps spread,... err,... 1MDB TT'ed out in millions of RM right under the nose of,....

But just what I heard lar,... just a story,... you can ignore it,... though BSI is under heavy court case now in Sgp. 

Hansel.. u work and stay in Singapore right?
Y so familier with TT from M to S ?

erm.. what creative ways?

I did TT today using Mbb to Sg Std Ctd acc. Charges incurred rm10 and less sgd20. (Total cost ard sgd23)

Last 2 week I did another TT via Msia Std Ctd. Charges incurred rm30 and get full sgd amount.

I think I should TT using MY Std Ctd cheaper rm30 (sgd10).
