Hi, can you share which platform the best to trade US or Global ETF?

I heard brokers may be thinking of charging dividend and maintenance fees too for SG stocks soon since foreign nationals are not allowed to open bank accounts so easily for CDP Access anymore. The time is coming,...

Still in the works, I guessed,.....

Interactive broker. Beware of inactivity fee of USD10/month if you have less than USD100k with them/your monthly commision does not exceed USD10.

For US ETF can consider buying from the following broker:
- Charles Schwab
- 8 securities

For global, best choice is IB.

Er, his previous post was about buying US ETFs. And most SG brokers charge that. The ones you mentioned are US brokers which are based in SG. So they are not exactly SG brokers. They are more like branch.

Actually most brokers are already doing that. The only one not doing are Maybank, SCB, FSM, IB.

If SGX introduce that, they can say further goodbye to their customers as more people will move to HKSE.

TD Ameritrade SG = domiciled in SG leh, thus, not just "branch" leh.
i clarified coz of the impact to my estate planning if US-based & follows US estate laws for Non-Resident Aliens like me.

hm.. best to get from horses' mouth / broker

can anyone confirm that buying of commission free ETF via ameritrade SG is possible?

the ameritrade US website was clear on this, but the ameritrade SG website is silent..

any sifu?

I haven't logged in for months, but from what I remember when I last checked - there wasn't any commission free ETFs available in TD Asia.

I didn't exactly have a choice of moving the account - may actually move holdings to IB.

have anyone try 8securities? is it safe and worth it?
I am attracted to the 0% commission and fees

It's a broker registered with Hong Kong SFC.

Anyone used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...heok.jstock.gui ?
$2.99 commission

Their auto robot Chloe getting YTD 13% return

What's the fees like?

S+P 500 has 15%+ return YTD.

just contacted Ameritrade SG, they dont offer commission free ETF.. so first post info is outdated.

whats the cheapest way of getting some USD/EUR based funds? i want to diversify away from MYR

I'll get it updated. At the time of writing TD Ameritrade referred to USA - at the time TD Ameritrade Asia didn't exist.

If you're OK with the minimum deposit of $10k and inactivity / data fees IB is still a good bet

is it USD10k per trade? or maintain USD10k in total distributed over however many funds i buy?

whats the data fees like?

It's USD10k to open account which can be used for trading.

Usd10/month. Can be waived if you fulfilled either one:
1) you have USD 100k worth of stocks/cash with them.
2) If your trading commission >= USD10/month

thanks, at that rate, maybe ameritrade SG still better at USD10.9/trade for those just starting out

IB is good for trading and access to other market all in one place.

For US stocks/ETF, can consider Charles schwab and 8 securities. Much cheaper than ameritrade.

Charles schwab and 8 securities.... can explain a bit more about these bro or where to get more info ?? tx
pm also can tx

What to explain? They are broker. One is based in US, one in HK.
US - Charles schwab
HK - 8 securities

Charles schwab - $4.95/trade
8 securities - 0%
