Nominees ma no surprise open fast hehe

Rakuten use CDS nominee under Kenanga. So you will not receive any hard copy quarterly report for any share you hold. Even if you want to attend AGM, you have to let Rakuten knows as the share is under Kenanga Nominees not your name.

Some small time investor, prefer privacy, so nominee CDS account is the way.
Quarterly report, get an online pdf version, easier, less messy to kept in the house or to throw it away.

M+ is different. CDS is under your name, not nominee. I also have M+ account. Their live trade screen is much better than Rakuten and also have interactive chart by Chartnexus. Brokerage fee also very good if you are using cash only account.

For contra account, Rakuten is better. Rakuten need to improve on trading limit value. Now need to wait until end of trading then they will update the trading limit value. Too slow

i would say its better and more efficient to open trading account online. government want more and more public to own/invest in stock market. they are making it easier for public to invest.

first you need to ask why you want to use FSM? its more to own trust fund and trade bonds.

if you want to own REIT like SUNREIT, IGBREIT, KLCC, etc that are listed in Bursa Malaysia, go with stock broker company i.e Rakuten, M+ which give the cheapest trading fee and good trading platform.

since 18th December, REIT sector have been outperforming KLCI by 9%.

i applied 2 times actually, first time was rejected due to some doc naming issue.
