Alexkos,
Hi,
can comment any summary after so many posts of update?

Which one is better broker for this S&P 500 ETF?
CapTrader or TradeStation?
What is the best method (cheapest cost) to transfer the fund, for typical Malaysia and for individual with Singapore bank account (Malaysian working in Singapore).

If not mistaken, TradeStation has an inactivity fee of $50 if less than 5x transaction per year.
And need to becareful if any data that you have subcribed that may be charged for some fees.

Is all European and London have 15% witholding tax,
while US is with 30% witholding tax?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

interesting.....anyone can feedback?

Got written response from TradeStation Global support confirming no inactivity fee when queried late Apr 2019

Poems singapore is allowing payment by fast transfer now. Tat means Cimb fast saver will be able to perform transaction to poems now. Neednt to have maybank sg account anymore

Seems like gooding for parking in Index fund for S&P500 or MSCI world first. While accumulating money to buy a big lot of SP500 ETF via tradegblobal.

Yes. Uncle Sam bully. If malaysia straight buy US shares, 30% dividend tax kena....

So cheapest for us is to buy Ireland domiciled fund, 15% je.

CapTrader min 4eur or 0.1% whichever higher
Tradestation global min 1.5gbp or 0.12% whichever higher

Say first, pls hoot sp500 only after considering your asset allocation.

Eg. 50/50 asset allocation. Means 50% hoot equity, 50% hoot fixed income.

Alex duwan see ppl here hoot too much equity. When market downturn, Fuiyo I tell you..... Just see 2008 as lesson.

Hi guys, can check with you all does Sxr8 declare dividend like other spdr or voo? Because I can’t really find any dividend yield online

From the online chat support, i was told that there will be inactivity as i mentioned.
i can share the screen shot if u guys like to see.

Tradestation and Tradestation Global.. is there any difference?
Anyway, the fee thing i am asking.. Don't seem to be able to find any info online? (or i can't find it?)

From the fee u mentioned, generally if less capital, TradeStation >> CapTrader lo?

thanks to u, i just get to know what is boglehead 3 fund portfolio.
Dont worry.. always DYDD right?

Sxr8 sama cspx. U can Google ishares core sp500

This is what I got from a rep named Oscar


TradeStation is US market only (US domicile, with SIPC protection), TradeStation Global covers US and outside (UK domicile, regulated by FCA)

Fees, or rather broker commission I'm assuming you were referring to:

Er, why 50/50? That's a risk profile for a person in the 50's gliding into retirement

From 2 email like 6 months apart, no fees.

any comment on this?

https://www.tradestation-international.com/
Didn't notice there is a difference between Tradestation US and Global (international)

So generally TradeStation need about 1,250 GBP (About 6,500 MYR) can hoot already right? (0.12% of 1,250 GBP = 1.5 GBP fee)

Initiate a transfer via IB via SGD. They will give you a virtual bank account. Use the details given and do FAST transfer into the virtual account provided.

Ah roar... Hehe... I study behavioral finance. I don't want to overestimate my confidence in 2008 scenario. So 50/50 for now until I see a real recession myself.

I also got Tradestation global liao. Awaiting funding. Once approve, will upload more info.

In the mean time, huat arrrrr

Guys, i just done funding for trade station international.
Would like to know moving forward i just use IB website or apps to trade?

Or should use back trade station website?
