Hi.

I'm currently using CIMB, and there seems to be lots of fees, especially for Dividends.  I understand the need for tax withholding for dividends from US stocks, but the CIMB fees took a lot from the pie.

(1) Which brokerage has the lowest fees?

I looked at comparison pages like https://dividendmagic.com.my/malaysia-stock...ers-comparison/, and CIMB is in the list of recommended ones.  Does it that i'm already using the top 10 cheapest broker?

(2) How do I transfer my shares from one broker to another?

If you are only buying Malaysian stocks Mplus have the lowest price and no fee.
Form what I know Malaysian broker don't charge for dividend. They charge you if you are buying overseas stocks.
If you are buying international stocks, interactive broker is thew way to go. If you have no money for interactive broker can consider their whitelabels (tradestation global, Captrader, zacktrade)

Now you know why local brokerage is not the best brokerage for international stocks.

Can transfer. You need to let both your broker know. Email your broker for more info.

Which market are you trading with cimb? There shouldn't be any dividend fee for Malaysian dividends.

U can transfer between brokers. U hand in a transfer form with a fee of RM10.

Sounds like buying international stocks only.

I would advise you to choose a broker carefully, because paying more attention to low fees, you ignore other important indicators, such as the reliability of the broker, the penalty for early withdrawals, obligations written in small print, and so on. in this case one cannot compensate for the other. It is important to find a truly balanced broker in all areas

Actually mplus is veey good. Very low fees and no nonsense additional fees.
