Cheapest (Best) ETF Platform?

[kajdex]

Hi,

I am planning to invest in US/Global ETFs and would like to get your recommendations on which platform should I sign up for. Saw some posts from MoneySmart and the likes and seems Saxo is one of them offering "no trading fees". However, it seems like promotion and will be $4 after that.

I am planning to DCA a fixed amount every month on some ETFs (no idea yet on what my portfolio might be). I just came to know that I can directly buy ARK Innovation ETF instead of paying more fees on Nikko AM Disruptive Innovation Fund which I have DCAed since last year.

Anyways, I currently have dollarDex (for my unit trust funds) and POEMS (haven't used yet) which I think are not the best when it comes to fees and ease of use.

Hoping someone could shed some light.

Yes, I understand that. So which do you think is best? And what are the criteria you used? Anyways, how is Interactive Broker?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Didn't think of the exchange rates. Would you say IB is one of the best out there?

fsm.
50 percent into vanguard world etf.
25 percent into Asia ex Japan etf.
25 percent into iShares etf.

3 dollar a month. whole process set up once and forget.

some guys will suggest buy Ireland domiciled etf urself every month at a cheaper price and lesser withinholding tax

I did the sum. v small diff and the slight loss of income takes away the effort and emotional aspect of investing.

no need everyday open stock page and wait for the lowest price, go live ur life.

you mean after promo is over, there is free 3 trades monthly?

 

[dappermen]

ya, if they keep to it... Free 2 trades , not 3 typo

by then nothing is guaranteed

this is just like we r using Syfe to buy etfs Currently, we do not need to pay anything too

Mgt fees - 1 and for all



but pls dont ask me any platform fees
i dont know and it is unclear
Moo has it
FSM has to for funds/UTs etc
