Could someone clarify the distinctions between investing through a remisier in Malaysia versus investing directly with a Participating Dealer (PD), also known as a broker? I've heard that investing directly with a PD may require a significant capital, whereas with a remisier, you can start with a lower amount. Additionally, what are the differences between opening an account at Bursa and investing independently with a lower entry? Isn't opening your own account at Bursa also a form of investing through your preferred broker? How does this differ from dealing with a PD, considering both also require a CDS account? I find this aspect quite confusing and would appreciate some clarification.
