Buying Stocks on POEMS?

There's always commission that you'll have to pay when you buy a stock. You're able to see what transational fees you'll paying at the brokerage's page.

For example, I'm using CIMB and I bought MYR 5000 worth of stocks. I'll get charged the FX fee, commissions, FFP, etc. Say we assume that the fees add up to $30 SGD, it'll get charged from my trust account with the brokerage. The order will still go through even if there isn't another $30 dollars in it, but I'll be required to top up the amount afterwards.

You should get a statement for the order you made with details on what you're paying for. Maybe it'll take a day to come through the email.

Quite cheap and good exposure to other country's exchanges. Especially the custodian account. Low rates for cash management account
