Is post #1 the updated cheapest route as of 10/10/2019?

Anyone knows if it's cheaper/possible to fund accounts using Big Pay?

Errr. Guys. How to open Singaporean bank account in Malaysia again? I remember reading it somewhere but can't find.

I remember got Maybank and CIMB options. Anyone know which post?

when you guys transfer money via InstaRem, does it matter if you transfer 10k in one go or transfer 5k two times?

i.e. we don't save anything by transferring 10k in one go, right? It costs the same as transferring 5k twice?

Should I continue my DCA next Monday?

Not in specific S&P sector, but I have small holding in a disruptive theme ETF. Ballooned a little when Tesla skyrocketed.

Interestingly it pays out dividend as "short term capital gain" which is tax exempt.

Hi all, I'm new to ETF investment (sorry for the noob questions I'm going to ask). Thank you to TS and all for sharing your knowledge.
I have recently opened an Instarem account and Tradestation Global.
For Instarem I opted for whatsapp video call and did not need to meet them face to face. My Instarem account was activated the next day itself.
For Tradestation Global I only submitted my bank statement with my house address and the account was ready for funding in 6 days.
I hope you can help me with some questions below:

1) I tried to fund my Tradestation Global account directly using Instarem to transfer Euro (from MYR) since 5th March, going into 1 week soon yet the status is still "processing". How long does it usually take for funds to be transferred? I attached screenshot below, did I fill anything wrongly?

2) I'm interested to buy either SXR8 or CSP1. Did I choose the correct tickers below? Since I'm funding in Euro (so that can Instarem directly), maybe SXR8 is a better option.


3) I understand that SXR8 and CSP1 are accumulating dividend. Do I still need to sign this dividend reinvestment agreement in the IB website?

Hi guys, am new to this S&P 500 investing but already invested in SA.

I have a few questions, if some have been asked before, please do give me the link to the post/page and I'll go read it.

1) How long does it take to transfer from instarem to tradestation global? Also, how much should I transfer since minimum is 1k USD (I'm planning to get 7-8k worth in one go, should I transfer - cost per ETF * 6/7 + 1.5 euro + extra to be safe ?

2) If I buy it outside EU's market hours, what price will I get? Also, when would be the best time to buy then?

3) As I understand, 15% tax from Ireland-domiciled ETF is only on the dividends and not capital gain, correct?

4) Instarem can only transfer in EUR to TS, and not USD, as I read from previous posts. So I'm only able to get SXR8 and CSPX:NA ?

5) I would like to invest in tech sector but the options are limited for European listed ETF's on US tech sector. Can I purchase this : https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/IUIT:LN and it would be similar to getting SXR8?

Sorry I have lots of questions, am new to this!

Hi, just got my IB and instarem account approved. Thanks tadashi for answering my enquiries!

I'm trying to transfer funds through instarem and linking my IB account to tradestation. But I'm facing an issue.

1) I can't seem to find the option to Move my account to 3rd party broker (Tradestation), is it because I have no funds yet in my IB account?

2) What phone number and email should I put for the recipient in the transfer details? Other details like IBAN are provided after creating my fund transfer notice.

Sorry for spamming the thread with questions, but I did try googling and searching the thread but to no avail

I'm new to foreign ETF. After reading the first post, a question on taxation. If we need to be taxed for 15%, is the investment still worth  the hassle? Not too sure how to calculate a more realistic return scanario, that why asking here

Plan to give it a try because I think in long term it will be worthwhile.
I have been reading this thread but there are too much info. Questions:
1) Instarem transfers to tradestation only accept EUR? Cant fund tradestation account in USD?
2) SXR8 price is quite high and I found this VUAA on London stock exchange, Ireland domiciled, accumulating and it trades in USD. Is SXR8 having more advantage comparing with this?
3) LSE still charge stamp duty for ETF? I checked, they dont charge for ETF starting February 2007:

Thank you if you can enlighten me.

1. None. You received cash and up to you when to buy back. With accumulating even when it's expensive you will be buying.
2. IB automatically minus the tax for you. What you get is already nett tax.
3. IB account.

Your choice. You want autopilot take accumulating. If you don't like to buy at expensive price, then go with distributing.
