Those on Global portfolio, would you guys recommend to yse TransferWise, etc to reduce the FX costs?

Or simply save the hassle and use DBS rate instead?

the sian part is when u are earning profit and request for withdraw, u get loss when ur investment is deposited back to ur account on 5th day.

this is so unpredictable

:eek: how much was the profit until it became a loss?

do you mean that e.g. you sell when its $30 profit but after 5 days its not $30 - transaction fees?

For every USD transfer inwards into DBS account, there is a $10 fee. If you use websites like Instarem, Transterwise etc. the savings against DBS conversion rates only kick in if amount >10K or so. You might want to compare the savings after $10 offset and then chose.

I think the performance should be better. Cause when we top up, the % will drop. Like before top up is 20%, 2k/10k. Then if the top up is 10k, percentage immediately drop from 20% to 10%..

Hi

1. how do you all convert currency from SGD to USD?
2. Is now a good time to covert to USD? I see SGD getting stronger and stronger

For sharing, I started mine 10 Nov 20:
1. Global Portfolio, Fast n' Furious (Risk Level 4) - Start 5,000.44. now 5,407.94 = 8.15%
2. Asia Portfolio, Fast n' Furious (Risk Level 4) - Start 5,000.00, now 5,243.92 = 4.88%

Asia portfolio not as good as global for me.
i also dunno much on investment. consider lucky got gain can le:o
