mplusonline.com is pretty great. It is fast like rakuten but tuck ur shares under direct CDS account.

Is there anywhere saying our money deposited into trust account is insured or safe from rakutentrade/kenanga in case of insolvency? Can't seem to find it in FAQ.

Why only +4.65 not 7

Bursa T+2

Can, but only ETFs listed on KLSE, except tradeplus Gold ETF.


There are ETFs listed on KLSE.

Also why are people liking this erroneous reply?

ETF literally means Exchange Traded Fund. It's meant to be traded like stocks, bonds, REITs on exchange.

The ETFs on KLSE are still ETFs, they just have very small assets under management, with some of them having higher expense ratio than advertised, or higher spread than usual.

You could have said "If you are looking for US ETF, then you need to use roboadvisors or foreign brokers.", instead of outright saying you can't trade ETF with Rakuten.

"sharing no harm" - If you share incorrect information, then it's harmful, period.

I hold tradeplus gold ETF and used to trade malaysia bond ETF.

Stashaway does not trade KLSE ETFs, they do use SGX ETF in SG however.

Stashaway is NOT cheap if you have an itch for very specific exposure and hold for long term, there is an ongoing 0.8% management fee on top of withholding taxes and ETF fees. It’s however easy and affordable for ikan bilis. But once your assets exceed 6 figures, maybe it’s time to DIY through IBKR, Tiger, TD Ameritrade.

I repeat again, coz you still blur:

StashAway trades ETFs listed on NYSE and NASDAQ in US, mainly for US.
Rakuten can trade ETFs listed on KLSE, mainly for exposure to Malaysia.
StashAway does not touch KLSE ETF, Rakuten does not touch US listed ETFs!!

Check if Rakuten's nominee CDS account is good for you. Otherwise just open a normal direct CDS brokerage account elsewhere.

Open Rakuten account and pay up the fees. They will open it at Bursa on your behalf.

Actually its the other way round usually, rakuten has quite some downtime, M+ so far so good.

Why would developers even put restrictions on password box, let people use whatever they want zzz

We dunno the forex spread yet right? Also if they don't have USD wallet, everytime they pay dividend, and we reinvest the div, we double pay the commissions.

US listed ETFs cannot be accumulating, that one you kena find their UCITS counterpart.

I rather buy VWRA then. Rakuten don't even have VXUS.

Babi Rakuten don't let me exercise DRIP anything less than 100%.

I don't want to end up with odd lots man.

CLMT dividend pay date March 26th but as of April 3rd, I still havent got them in rakuten trade account.

Previous dividend ex, pay, actual credit dates:
