When do you think it will break away from USD 55.00? bought it on 3 occassions between nov2017-feb2018 at avg price of about USD 55, now is still USD 55.on top of my usd 2k USD idling in standchart foreign currency deposit account, I could have done way better if I invested in local market

How to purchase iwda using iocbc? How much is the handling fees and maintenance fees?

if you are on iOCBC, you can just call or e-mail your TR to ask. If he/she don't reply or don't know, then maybe you should change to SCB. :s13:

Can someone advise whats the breakdown of fees when trading iwda using scb? I tried entering a trade and on top of the usd 10 commission theres this 0.50% exchange fee which is quite steep.. So total cost is 0.20%+0.50=0.70%?

Looking to use SCB to purchase some IWDA maybe bi-annually.

i have SGD and USD account now. Do i need to do anything else?

Just make sure you have 1K and 2K balance maintained in your SGD & USD account respectively after pulling out funds for IWDA. Otherwise, you will subject to the penalty fees.

I don't have 1k in my SGD account and I don't have 2k in my USD account and I've never been subject to penalty fees. I guess it all depends on what account you set up.

Question about IWDA dividends

Hi everyone. Newcomer to investing and ETFs here, so sorry if its a stupid question. I read that IWDA dividends are reinvested, but i was wondering how it would be possible to track what the dividends are or how much has been paid out. If it goes back into the ETF price, how do we know if the price increases are because of the market or because of the dividend? Can anyone help to explain please?

Thanks!

A passive investor does not care about such things but just look at total return relative to the total return net benchmark.
