Good morning, bro,...

YES to your first statement.

Congrats to your second statement.

For those who wish to know how to set-up a Sgp Address (without staying physically in Singapore) to participate in SG Rights Issues, I welcome them to ask over at the 'SGX Counters' thread. I'll provide step-by-step procedures there from personal experience. Let's make that a one-stop shop fro all these types of questions. Answers will be provided from personal experiences and upgrades to knowledge.

Sorry, I cannot manage to find to your guide on setting up a Singapore address, Hansel.

For normal people like us who cannot open Standard Chartered Singapore trading account, the only way to apply for IPO is by using DBS Vickers trading account, right?

Standard chartered account cannot apply IPO sweat.gif Same with all nominee account (maybank ke prefunded, fsm).

Only can apply if you have direct account with CDP. Maybank KE cash account can apply IPO. How to go about it, ask Leslie. tongue.gif

IPO usually it's overprice as it served to raise money. That's why it's known as "It's probably overprice". biggrin.gif Wait for after IPO then buy.

Yes, I have a CDP Account, linked to my Maybank Kim Eng Trade Cash Account.

Are you saying that after the IPO, the share price is likely to drop, so it is not worthwhile to buy share during IPO?

In rare cases, is it remotely possible that after the IPO, the share price may increase, so it is better to buy the share during IPO?

Don't waste your time on SG stock, just invest in US better.  When US sneeze, SG stocks will not be spared one.  They will go down fast and take ages to climb back up.  You may think their company are better managed, but in reality alot of corporate mismanagement happen in their large corporation as well,  KEPPEL , SINGPOST to name a few.  This is coupled with poor/slow growth among its blue chip company.

Which brokerage do you use, to buy and sell US stocks? Singapore brokerage, or Malaysia brokerage?

Appreciate your advice on this matter. smile.gif

You and Hansel are concerned with idle SGD cash which is not generating meaningful interest. Yet, in view of volatility and uncertainty, you two feel that it is too expensive to perform additional investment in SGX, and I agree with you.

There is why I suggest Singapore Savings Bonds, as a place to park idle SGD cash and generate interest higher than of the savings account.

Perhaps, you have another methods to park idle SGD cash and generate rather meaningful interest, while we wait for market crash to perform additional investment in SGX.

I remembered that you did post the following methods to park idle fund. As of now, are you saying that these methods are not suitable for you at the moment?

- Citibank maxigain (if you got the moo and able to open account) 2%+
- United Class A bond fund 2-3%
- PIMCO GIS Income Fund Class E SGD Hedged Bond Fund, 5-7%
- Parkway 4%

You must have your personal reasons, and I respect that. smile.gif

For those who use Maybank Kim Eng trading account, did you recently receive an e-mail from Maybank Kim Eng that we need to fill up an e-form of Client Proficiency Assessment, in Maybank KE Trade Website?


Otherwise, Maybank Kim Eng will forbid us from trading in Specified Investment Products (SIPs).


My question is that if I really have no intention at all to trade in Specified Investment Products (SIPs), I do not need to fill up this e-form, right?


My concern is that if I choose “No” in this e-form, it may affect or restrict my ability to trade in normal shares and participate in right issues, in Singapore Exchange, using Maybank KE Trade Website. By the way, I am using Maybank KE Trade Prefunded account.


This is the PDF version of the e-form. The e-form has same questionnaire.

Attached File  Client_Proficiency_Assessment__July_2018_.pdf ( 125.91k ) Number of downloads: 6


Thank you for your advice. notworthy.gif thumbup.gif

Not participating, bros,... I'd prefer to watch my REITs closely and start mitigating actions as tapering starts and interest rates start to rise,... The life-cycle of REITs is abt to undergo a new phase again soon,....

Correct me, if I am wrong.

When the interest rates start to rise, the SReit share price should drop.

When you say mitigating actions, do you mean that it is preferable to sell SReit while the share price is still high, and then buy back SReit when the interest rates start to rise, right?

Thank you for sharing your pointers, Bro Hansel.

Note that DBS is always the slowest among the 3 primary dealers in refunding unsuccessful bid/pay discounted value. OCBC and UOB usually refund unsuccessful bid/pay discounted value to you shortly after auction result, i.e. around 2-3 pm. DBS's 5 pm is the latest. So you might want to apply using OCBC/UOB accounts for T-bills if you have one. 
TOS, how do you apply for T-Bills? Through DBS Internet Banking website?

Thank you for your clarification. smile.gif

Thank you for the detailed explanation, TOS. So, the process of applying for T-Bills is somewhat similar to the process for Singapore Savings Bonds.


Yes, I do have a CDP account, but I use it only to purchase Singapore Savings Bonds.


So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of T-Bills, as compared to Singapore Savings Bonds? It is easier to understand the concept of Singapore Savings Bonds.
