Yes, yr fees stated are abt right.

But if you have SCB, your minimum charge is SGD10, OR 0.2% of transacted amt, whichever higher,... This is good, right ?? But yr shares are kept in Stanchart and are not registered directly under yr name, hence, you are not able to go for AGMs.

After buying thru Stanchart, you can always transfer yr shares to CDP, PROVIDED you have a CDP Acct, at minimal fees. 

Owning shares in CDP is more of direct ownership. It allows you to :-

1) be totally free from risks of the nominee bank failing.
2) attend AGMs and other co meetings.
3) participate directly in corporate actions without waiting for notifications from the brokerage.
4) sell via any direct-holding brokerage rather than where you bought through.
