i m considering hleb for foreign stocks.

do you know for foreign stocks, whether remisier or dealer will be able to offer a better deal overall - for low, fair and high trading volume?

how high is high? % brokerage? +gst+stamp duty+...?


will remisier for foreign stocks be better then?

ya, think is true for hk stocks.

hlib brokerages for us and sg not too bad - tiered at 0.371%, 0.265%.

think better than normal deals of some other inv banks.

but if u are transferring from maybank within the hleb portal (that only allows hlb and mbb accounts), there is no need to call dealer, right?

it should take overnight for it to be shown at the portal, am i right?

think u r an experienced user of hleb.

can i check with you:

.. using hlb internal transfer, is the amt shown wityhin 1/2 day or overnight?
.. how do you find the use of hleb portal overall for daily buy/sell activity, reports? poor, satisfactory, good?
.. for foreign stocks, do you use real time data, reliable good enough?
.. how do you find the service level of the dealers when you call them?
.. how would you rate hleb compared to cimb, mbb and others if you have used them before?

tq.

i may be want to give it try soon.

thanks so much for yr comments. appreciate it.

i should be trying them soon.

will share my experience at a later time.

all the best to yr trading!

thanks, got it.

good to hear many user are happy.



man, i have to be careful, trading at 3 portals!

in process.

single tier only.

no need. you can have one but only one cds acc per broker bank.



new acc takes a few working days after u sign up.

my new acc should be active by next week.

no, will keep separate.

1 for longer term, holding, dividends, better linked to other banking matters.

this hleb, i plan to use for trading only - local and foreign - as and when the opportunity arises.

for hleb us stocks, take note:

since this week, there is a change in rules - etf's/etn's <usd1bil mkt cap, you CANNOT buy/sell online, must call remisier.

other individual equities, or etf's >usd1bil, still can do online.

i do not know why, do not know details.

if it affects u, pls call yr dealer, remisier.

Hong Leong bank...

You bought via iress, their nominee account?

If so, doubt u will get anything as it is a nominee trust.

Also, I think it goes thru UOB Singapore, so, it well be a case of "nominee of nominee".

U need a diff platform to trade foreign, called IRESS.

Talk to yr broker, need to register, sign some forms, deposit money first.

Note the brokerage charges for foreign are much higher than bursa.

Also, ask about chargeable or free realtime data, what requirements.

Delayed time data no good when buying or selling.

where got so cheap for foreign!

it is 0.1% - for BURSA.

foreign bourses...depending which one, what amt.. 0.371, 0.265, 0.636, 0.424... with min charge.

local banks/brokers for foreign bourse are NEVER cheap.

bursa, i can't say much as i m not into it.

foreign bourses, no local bank/broker is cheap - becos they all go thru SG, i believe.

but, can negotiate for better rates if u r big, fast n furious trader.

foreign brokers much cheaper but now hard to get in with new fx rules applied.
