@Ziet Inv, want to get your opinion.
I have a Direct CDS Account with Maybank Investment Bank because I initially thought the fee was RM8/0.1%, but instead it was RM28/0.42%. And Based on your previous reply (between MBB IB and MBB IEC, as well only 1 Direct CDS account), do you might know how to retain that Direct CDS Account but get the lowest fee?
I think a lot of people misunderstood that fee because they read from non-Maybank site. When I talk to my remiser, she told me that the fees published in sites are not Maybank's, and even she couldnt find from Maybank sites that listed out the fees. The best that she could do is Acc Mgmt to reduce it but I have to be regular trader (which I dont think I am)
Sorry did not see your reply since I'm not tagged.
I guess yggdrasil answered your question already.
It depends whether its
1. Maybank Investment Bank
or
2. Maybank (Equity Investment Branch)
Yours is 1., hence the RM 28 or 0.42% fee.
The only way to reduce the fee is to:
1. Trade frequently, in high amount
2. Refer to 1., then apply with your remisier
Since you are not frequent trader (like me, invest like once a month), then i strongly suggest you to terminate the account and reapply at Maybank (EIC).
I been through that, and thank lord the RM 10 (or 12) minimum is a savior.
Never looked back!
Hope this helps you, or anyone else reading this in the future.
Cheers
