hi - some help needed. I am on this new DBS treasures interface. I cannot find a way to buy the ETFs for multiplier. This new interface is so troublesome. Any one can guide on how to buy any ETF if you are treasures
try using app then?

Both web and app, the only place I can find etf is in the online equity trading. Can't find under funds. What is surprising is that the dbs FAQ says go to " fund and etf " icon to purchase. My icon only shows the word funds. No etf mention

U are not alone. Apparently someone at DBS decided that Treasures customers should not be given the option for Invest Saver i.e., monthly recurring buys on ETFs.

You cannot find so you make such ridiculous assumptions?

I have no time to read, but standing/waiting for mrt, I see big advertisements by DBS, I also know!

Read the instructions and follow step by step!

I don’t know if you tried following the instructions.

Are you refering to $100 RSP (also known as DBS Invest-Saver)? A list of qualified ETFs is in the page https://www.posb.com.sg/personal/investments/equity-trading/exchange-traded-funds-invest-saver

In short:
There are 5 ETFs for you to choose from:

Singapore Equity ETF
1. Nikko AM Singapore STI ETF

SGD Fixed Income ETFs
2. ABF Singapore Bond Index Fund
3. Nikko AM SGD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF

REIT ETFs
4. CSOP iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index ETF
5. Nikko AM-StraitsTrading Asia ex Japan REIT ETF
Thank you very much! Seems the ETF I purchased not listed above. No wonder not qualified as valid investment bonus

got the same issue recently. (previously used Invest Saver option in 2024-2025 to setup RSP for various Amova ETF-old name: Nikko AM). Contacted the bank & describe the findings to them & after investigation, was advised to go Branch to do the Amova ETF RSP setup. I think non-Treasure login probably not affected by this issue.

Instead of waste more of my time over this matter, I look under digiPortfolio menu & select SaveUp Portfolio (initial lump sum $100 plus recurring mthly $100), currently waiting for setup to be completed (a few biz days) & hope the amt will soon appear under Multiplier tracker. There are other digiPortfolios to choose from, I think all of them can unlock the Invest category.

Maybe the ITteam accidentally (oops!) removed the Invest Saver option & ETF/RSP filtering function while making ‘improvements’ to the Treasures user interface, can only hope that they will put it back under the rightful Invest menu path.

Treasures has access to DBS Online Equity Trading right? 0.12% no minimum, cheaper than Invest-Saver.
The reason why some people go for a recurring $100/mth Invest solution is to unlock the Invest category automatically every month, peace of mind.
Better not to mix up with how much we invest in stocks and the frequency we trade stocks.

You have proven that your last comment is never your last.

If you want to tease a “hack” but not sharing it, then your post is pretty much meaningless and might as well not post?

Is true though u with some small effort with the aid of a reminder, this can be a zero cost endeavour.

That's true. But as a Treasures client, with just a little more effort, I can invest more cheaply and still unlock the Invest category.

Moreover, as a joint Treasures account holder, my investment with Online Equity Trading also unlocks the category for the other joint account holder.

The recurring $100/mth Invest solution cost only $0.50 per month. Even if online equity is cheaper, how much savings are we looking at?

I guess he isn't treasures so he can see it. My RM after 1+hr of back and forth with me and checking finally confirmed and told me treasures don't have access to dbs invest saver. And just ask me to buy other UT
