==== total costs, using POEMS

  • FX conversion cost .. see Announcements -> currency conversion -> indicative bid/ask rates. Each day there’s a new “announcement”
  • all in fees (excl GST or SGD 35c fee): 0.12%
  • .. brokerage .. https://www.poems.com.sg/products/stocks/pricing/ shows 0.08% with no minimum 
  • .. other fees .. 0.04% with no minimum
  • CDP charges another SGD 0.37 fee to SRS. I confirmed with CDP.
  • S27 expRatio: close to 0.1% https://www.ssga.com/sg/en/institutional/etfs/funds/spdr-sp-500-etf-trust-s27

For my first share, I bought at USD 419.11, but total USD cost was 419.93122, converted to SGD 573.92 (see acctMgmt->eStmt).  SRS shows $574.29 deducted, due to $0.37/trade settlement fee by CDP

— 12May share — I bought at USD 391.01. USD 391.78, converted at 1.3994 to SGD 548.25. DBS charged SGD .37 so DBS tx history shows $548.62

  • USD 0.77 total fees charged at Phillips (391.78 – 391.01)
  • .. 0.12% amount to USD 0.47.
  • .. GST and 35c add up to USD 0.30
  • SGD 0.37 total fees charged at DBS

— S27 behaves like a futures. If there’s a big news during SGX trading hours, S27 would react to it before the underlying 500 stocks (or the SPY ETF) could react.

Q: how do I know my average purchase price and quantity of S27?
A: Use SRS section of DBS online blotter or monthly statement

SPY enjoys much better liquidity than S27.

Dividend received in USD, credited to SRS, with 30% withholding tax.

limit orders close to the market can get filled very soon at my limit price ! I think “SellDown” means a market-Sell hit my limit-Buy.
