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...

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?

Posted by Journey to Financial Independence > 2021-04-07 14:05 | Report Abuse

@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.

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.

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?

@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.

@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.

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

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.

Can I check if SST still applies for each transaction in 2022

Posted by chinvest17 > 2022-01-08 17:47 | Report Abuse

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.

if any feed is delayed even 5 seconds, you will lose a lot of money.
Could be millions of losses over a long span of time.

Cheapest may be good for amateurs. 🤣

For serious traders, the most expensive may be the cheapest. 🤣

Posted by Balian de Ibelin > 2 months ago | Report Abuse

besides feed delay.

the early morning queueing is another factor.
Some cheap cheaper cheapest, you will find that your morning queueing, you will always be the last one in the queue.

and each and every day until Jesus comes, you will always be the last one in the queue.

You want cheap mah?

=====================================
It is highly unethical on the brokerage institution to keep mum on fees.
This shows discrimination exist even in financial sectors.
It is unprofessional ethics exercised by the financial institution.
How are they able to lower fees more than 60% from the usual fees after negotiation?
This is criminal act.
