Are there any circumstances wherein DBS Vickers Cash Upfront wouldn't be a better option than a regular DBS Vickers account?

Assuming one has the lump sum they are intending to invest at the ready, would it be safe to say that DBS Vickers Cash Upfront would be the superior brokerage account since it has lower fees than a regular DBS VIckers account?

However, this money needs to be in the account already, so take note that. Be aware that if DBS is the custodian of your holdings, you won't be entitled attend AGMs and corporate actions will likely have to be acted on through the broker, as opposed to doing it yourself.

No. DBS vickers cash upfront is superior in all fronts as compared to regular DBS vickers account.
