Ever since my DBS Vickers Cash upfront account was approved, I just go stocks buying as their brokerage fees is very low. Moreover, the stocks purchased will go to CDP. That's what I always wanted. 

Being a long term and dividends driven investor, I just DCA and compound for the long run. 

This morning I was looking at my UT portfolio, I was shocked that I m extremely high risk investor. [Happy]  [LOL]  [Smile]  [Chuckle]  . only 1 out of 6 high risk UT not doing good. The other 5 are flying colours. 1 low to medium UT & 1 medium to high UT are doing so so. Looks like I have better luck with high risk UT rather than low to medium or medium to high risk UT. 

I love a particular sector UT but their annual management fee, annual trustee fee & expense ratio are a killer. I need to do some homework before I decide if I want to risk my investment. High risk, high reward - must know when the enter point. 

As for SRS fund, I have stop doing the conservative investment ie endowment plan. I was luck that when I did the endowment plan, the rate of returns were high. I even reconfirmed with my agent this year as I am planning my retirement.. money from SRS, stocks dividend, CPF, other endowment plans etc etc.. Now I m using SRS fund to buy SG stocks. When I m due for SRS withdrawal, I can transfer my SG stocks to CDP by paying a fees and the stocks can be passed on to my beneficiary. 🤭😇

After posting, I realised I overlooked sharing which broker using SRS fund to buy SG stocks for cost effectiveness. I use Phillip Poems Cash Plus as it is 0.08% for SGD0-29.999K, 0.07% for SGD30-249.999K for brokerage fees. Have to add SGD0.38 to the total amount as that is the CDP charges and the stocks will be held by the bank that you have setup your SRS. I tend to add SGD0.38 to my order so as to avoid insufficient fund in SRS. Moreover, SGD0.38 will reflect as CDP charges under your SRS statement together with stocks purchased amount. In order to enjoy the good rate from poems cash plus for SRS fund, I have to park similar amount into cash plus account first. This is similar to DBS Vickers cash upfront.

High Risk, High Reward vs. Compounding: What’s Your Path?
A big win from a high-risk bet, or the steady path of compounding—which investment approach suits you best? Have you ever turned things around with a single heavy position? Are you willing to sacrifice some returns to better control drawdowns? In a market full of volatility, do you believe more in getting rich overnight or in the magic of long-term compounding?

    Not easy, good job seeing it through… only thinking of passing something over to your decedents? Must be loaded [Tongue][Silence][Chuckle]

      Yes. [ShakeHands] Every year set a new KPI. 🤭😇🙏[Chuckle][Bless][Happy][Smile][Tongue][Miser][Grin][Love you][Silence]

      As long as you achieve what you aim for is a win...
    • DiAngel
      Well, maybe my definition of loaded might be different from you. Just to give you a clue. I have achieved my KPI SGD36K from SG stocks using both cash & SRS. If I deduct SRS portion, I still shortage of SGD5-6K.I think.anyway, I still have 7.5months to achieve using cash.

    即使基础可能是好的,高费用也会把它变成别的东西。

      我仍在学习如何从星展银行乘数账户中产生更多利息。这是DBS paylah的直接削减!,投资,但不是为了收入,我发现这是一种有趣的计算方式[LOL][LOL][Happy][Chuckle].我不是在抱怨,但知道如何计算是件好事
    • DiAngel
      如果最低10美元的通信费对你来说很高,那么你是一个交易者,而不是一个投资。我认为FSM提供8.80美元,但与DBS Multiplier捆绑的DBS Vickers账户会产生一些收入利息,DBS paylah!,投资等。

    你用dbs购买,股票在cdp,需要转让吗?
    • DiAngel
      如果你不想把它们从SRS账户转移到CDP,你可以卖掉它们,转换成现金提取。由于我所有的新加坡股票都是为下一代准备的,因此我不介意支付费用将它们转移到CDP。
    • DiAngel
      我想你一定是把DBS Vickers使用预付现金和使用poems cash plus使用SRS基金购买新加坡股票搞混了。星展维克斯->CDP,而poems现金加->SRS账户。当SRS到期提取时,我会将sg股票从SRS账户转移到CDP。当然,我可以卖掉它们
