Contact your broker or poems.
Yes, there r extra fees.

For cash plus account,
1. Acct maintenance fee
2. Foreign shares custody charges
3. Cash dividend processing fee
4. Other corporate action handling fee
5. Currency exchange fee

Must do these 2 thingy....
1. Convert your account to dual currency. Otherwise, need to convert to US$ when buy and convert to S$ when sell.
2. Submit W8BEN form for non-US residence.

One of the reasons why some investors are still using poems is that they can talk to their broker and ask for help. my broker told me there are clients still placing orders through the telephone (they waive the additional phone order charge) :s13:

I am quite happy with my poems broker (same one for 10+yrs), quite responsive to my occasional messages though I do not use poems that frequently. I'm sure your broker will be happy to talk to you and help you. No need to depend on anonymous internet posts for advice that may or may not be correct.
