allright. And good things is I just add some FCT at 6% yield

I was told similar charges ($2/counter/mth for foreign custody fee) if opening with dbsV.

but I guess I will open dbsV to buy Sg shares only whereas use Std Ctd to buy foreign shares like US shares, Aussies shares, HK shares etc. on the recent trip, I had asked the Std Ctd to update so that I may trade Aussies shares. Just get ready in case there is opportunity. must think ahead of time too

I m also eyeing on this Fraser Centrepoint Trust too

Expert already, bro,...

U guided me well, sifu.

waiting for the Aussies shares thread.

Gentlemen,... the thing abt this ctr is it has a growing dpu trend, and the mgmt. knows what unitholders want. I attended her AGM in January this yr,.. just before CNY,... you guys should try to attend AGMs next year,... you can get a lot of feel when you're there,....AGM season for SG listed cos are mostly in April, but some do hold during other times of the year, eg

1) FCT in January.
2) Singpost in July.

...

Makes me feel like Yoda,...

Yes, I saw it in the Manulife Reit Qtr Report.

The funny thing is when I ask my Kim Eng account manager, he does not even know about this

Any idea where i can get WBEN-8 forms?

If you bought through Maybank KE and it's a nominee account, you will have to depend on them to handle this, bro,... BUT if you have a CDP Number used to buy this share, then you can approach the share registry directly. If you are able to approach the share registry directly, then yo can fill-in the W8-BEN Form by yourself and submit it to the share registry.

BUT : when you first opened your account with KE, did you not fill-in the W8-BEN Form already ?? Pls confirm this.

so, now increase how many counter?

If you are not a U.S citizen and you are investing in U.S equities offshore, they should send you a form.
Otheriwse you should sack him. It's standard procedure.

If added this becomes 12.

U dont wan join Aussies thread.

Can wait for the above before opening SG account,...

Firstly, we are the 1st investment platform to offer you a permanent 0% sales charge on ALL FUNDS. This will help you to achieve your financial goals more easily, while enjoying precious cost savings.

We have launched the brand new FSM MAPS (My Assisted Portfolio Solution) robo-advisory portfolios. FSM MAPS provides five ready-made investment portfolios to investors who want to invest without stress. The sales charge on FSM MAPS is 0%.

FSMOne now enables immediate execution on selected bonds with the revamped FSM Bond Express platform. In addition, instead of investing a minimum investment amount of S$250,000 in a wholesale bond, accredited investors can now invest with a much smaller investment amount of S$5,000.

Also, FSMOne now allows you to trade in stocks and ETFs listed on the Singapore Exchange and Hong Kong Exchange at low and competitive commission rates. In the spirit of greater transparency in fees and information, you will also find the fee and commission rebate structure on our insurance products to be simple and clear.

So, in short, the new FSMOne experience is about giving you greater ease and power to achieve your financial goals!

I rmb i filled up some form when I open an account with KE, but im not sure whether is it W8-BEN form.

The account manager from KE said that he cant help me with this form.

Bro,... for this acct, are you on nominee or is your holding kept with CDP ? Please tell me this first so that I can advise further,...

Mine is nominee account.
