So far, I have only email to them and they normally took a few days to reply. Sometimes, the reply is standard.

I guess in order to take it to another level, I will have to call those officers personally. I have still yet to do that, will explore it further if they could not give me a satisfactory answer via emails.

Could we have a "collective request" of the members from sgfunds to "encourage" them to be faster?

Given that I'm only subscribing to 1 counter (STI ETF) through SBP, I can't say for sure. How about calling up Phillips to check? and of course do let us know! =)

Per month. It is stated in the FAQs.

if you invest in 2 counters or less with total investment amount less than or equal to $1000 month, handling fees would be $6.42 per month.

On the other hand, should you invest in more than 2 counters but the total investment amount remains less than or equal to $1000 month, handling fees would be $10.70 per month.

For total investment amount more than $1000 monthly, regardless of number of counters invested in, handling fees would be the higher of 0.2% or $10.70.
----------------------------------

so its either 6.42 or 10.70, if over 1k, its 0.2% or 10.70. ::D

Thanks stam. SBP may not be perfect, but I feel its as good as it gets for small time local investors looking to buy up blue chips and STI ETF. I wish they'd open it up to more ETFs though!

Well maybe we should all write in to ask that they consider expanding SBP to cover more SGX-listed ETFs?

yes...same as my... ::D

by **banyan** on 21 Sep 2008, 16:35

Same here. Since the price range on the trading date 18 Sep was $2.40~2.50, I am puzzled how they managed to buy at such a "good" price for us. I have written to them for an explanation. Do voice your concern, too.

by **stam** on 21 Sep 2008, 16:37

yeah, just checked the chart, the highest was $2.50..damn philip...

by **clonewolf** on 21 Sep 2008, 17:56

thats the price u pay for unit share possibly?

by **stam** on 22 Sep 2008, 09:12

hmm...possible, anyone got explainaton frm philip yet? 2.59027 is abit high..

by **clonewolf** on 22 Sep 2008, 11:28

its relative isnt it. why cant buy from open market?

by **Bean** on 23 Sep 2008, 02:55

Since they consolidate our investment, the majority of our order should not be bought in the unit share market.

by **clonewolf** on 23 Sep 2008, 07:56

indeed. do take a look at their GEMS too. i laugh until fall off the chair. really cannot make it.
