those with mas license is called trading representative (TR), it can be a house dealer or a remisier

generally remisier is self employed (do own business)
while house dealer draws a salary from the company (employee)

Referring to cash upfront?

Before t+3, if u buy with cash upfront, it's buy 0.18% and $18 and sell is 0.18% and min 18

After t+3,u can sell anywhere le, at poems or kimeng etc, selling will be normal rate, 25 min, 0.275% for $50k n below the contract

This applies for Dbsv cashupfront too

Because your current broker rejected the transfer

Standard Chartered Equity in Asia Close Down: Wait for the news

January 8, 2015 by Kyith Ng 1 Comment

My lazy work day was awoken when a fellow blogger informed me that Standard Charted will be exiting the intuitional cash equities, equity research and equities capital market.

Channel News Asia have an announcement here. This give you an idea how in tune with market news I am. I am really quite passive about it during working hours.

Obviously I am very disappointed if my SCB Online trading is impacted:

It is my main trading platform because there are no minimum commission charges and it is a reason why I consistently have emails asking me why my commission is so low on my portfolio here.
No custodian charges
No dividend handling charges
Assess to various markets

I actually really like the service.

The thing is, even their staff are rather shocked about this news. I think they are more anxious if this will affect their business unit more than anything. The message is very vague but if SCB online trading is making use of the equity capital market, then this will affect the consumers as well.

What I felt after consulting some ex brokers and from call in is that it is likely MAS would arrange an orderly transfer to another custodian, which may or may not be your choosing. The fear is whether there will be transfer charges and it will be catastrophic if there are. Already we are seeing from hardwarezone there are people selling out this morning and afternoon.

As far as we know, it is likely a transfer into CDP there will be a per counter charge and there shouldn’t be a charge levied at SCB Online trading end.

Lets not jump the gun. Lets wait until things becomes clearer.











Already we are seeing from hardwarezone there are people selling out this morning and afternoon.


so today which of u guys sold out? lol

Wrong, receiving sub da (deposit agent) custodian don't charge, it's the delivering custodian that charges,

cdp only charges 10$ per counter if u transfer back to cdp.

Scb need not close their retailer biz or do anything also, they can just set a $50 min comm, then you will be as good as forced to bear the new charges le as well and yet they need not waive off their transfer fee also
