What is the difference if managed directly vs Managed by Broker? 30/03/2021 12:18 PM Journey to Financial Independence I started my investment journey with a nominee account (Rakuten Trade). But later this year I decided to switch into a direct account (Malacca Securities) after I found out their differences... https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/DirectNomineeAccount/2021-04-02-story-h1563151774-Direct_Account_and_Nominee_Account_Which_One_is_Better.jsp 03/04/2021 1:39 PM benjikoh I tried the calculate function on MPLUS to simulate the amount of brokerage I have to pay. But the minimum is RM40 Brokerage fees charged, but isn't the advertised fee RM8? 06/04/2021 11:27 PM Journey to Financial Independence @benjikoh, my account is M+ silver account (cash upfront), charged a minimum of RM9.70 per contract including stamp duty and clearing fees. You can ask your remisier/ dealer representative what type of account are you using to buy/sell. If your remisier does not reply to your message, it's time to change from M+ platform to others.

If park under Rakuten, we wont be recognize when AGM it's? 16/04/2021 5:55 PM bernardeng Like MrBorneo26, I have accounts with both Rakuten and MPlus. My recommendation is to open account with more than one broker to compare stock recommendation and monitor stock performance if you can. As for the reason why Rakuten operate using nominee account type is because in addition to cash account which require cash to be deposited first before you can trade they also provide contra and margin accounts which require your stocks to be collateralized. The advantage of contra account over cash account is that you can trade and settle later (T+2) hence very useful for short term trading. As for the reason why I like Mplus other than cheap brokerage is because they provide very good market and stock updates and conduct free seminars for their clients very regularly. 05/06/2021 3:19 PM SKLee198 Hi i'm new to trade. anyone can share that is there any cost to maintain for these trading account? or any other hidden cost? 12/06/2021 3:01 PM firstclass Hello All.

Thanks 22/06/2021 5:11 PM ShinGiTai hi, for long term investment purpose, fund size > 1mil, do u guys think it's good idea to buy with Rakuten platform first due to cheapest charges, then later pay RM10 transfer the stock to other bank platform like RHB, Maybank, UOB KAylian for faster Dividends and safer security? 11/07/2021 2:42 PM msbr91 @Noni May I know what is the hidden restrictions you have encountered before? 29/07/2021 8:51 PM Meena12 Hi, Maybank is charging me a minimum of RM28 per transaction for both sale and purchase...

Is that normal, or please advise if I am paying high? 22/08/2021 7:29 PM Meena12 @i3lurker Hi Thanks a lot... Yes after requesting they have reduced it to RM12 now... It is sad that even the broker didn`t advise about it, she insisted the minimum was RM28 last month. 23/08/2021 2:49 PM normanash Ahh that easy for rakuten, lets say you want to buy hartalega, just go to bursamalaysia or if got other trading acc with cgscimb or kentrade you can check there, syariah complince or not :) 27/08/2021 1:59 PM Noni @msbr91. Often not enough limit although I have shares. Keep asking me to top-up money. Ask why? don’t want answer. Ask further, then only say company got restrictions. Ask what restrictions, cannot disclose to me. I am tired. 03/09/2021 10:15 AM Ocean_K Hi , may i know why Affin Hwang Capital is RM 30.90 ? isn't it Min RM 5 as stated above page ?

It seems to be good rate trading above 10k 14/11/2021 8:24 PM chinvest17 There is a catch on CIMB Clicks 0.0388% brokerage rate with minimum $8.80. Minimum $8.88 is per matched Order. Say you have 3 matched order, each trade value 10,000. Total brokerage is 8.88 * 3 = $26.64. Not 30,000 * 0.0388% = $11.64 12/12/2021 11:19 AM chinvest17 Malaysia increase stamp duty from 0.1% to 0.15% from 2022. Many countries don't impose stamp duty for stock trading, including Singapore, US. While China impose 0.1% on the selling side only. Also, Malaysia stamp duty still apply when you invest in foreign market through Malaysia broker. 12/12/2021 11:29 AM kyy123 Why online trading, remisier still get paid from broker, not really understand because i invest my money and did not rely on my remisier, they still get paid, what an easy job lol. 02/01/2022 9:44 PM chinvest17 No more SST in 2022. Actually 0.15% stamp duty do not apply to all stock type 0.10% still apply to Warrant, REIT, Trust, Close-ended Fund. While ETF, no stamp duty until 2025. 08/01/2022 5:47 PM PatienceCounts If i hv an Affin Hwang investment bank collateral online account, can i change it to cash trading account online without going thru the bank officer? 05/02/2022 3:05 PM redhotpepper UobKAYHIAN and M+, which brokerage is better, in term of remisier support? 06/03/2022 9:59 AM happytrader78 anyone using kenanga? im using UOB KAY HIAN quite CHEAP for collateral account, only 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.1% or min RM 8 but would like to explore Kenanga too..
