There's only 2 real ways to moving stocks from one broker to another. Transfer through your broker or sell and rebuy.

Well, for 10 counters that's only SGD535 (53.5 * 10). Before you say that's a lot, 535 is only about 0.0786% on a portfolio of ~680k SGD (500k USD).

Selling and rebuying will definitely incur a higher cost, not just from commissions, FX conversion and market movement.

Hi guys! I’m currently using FSMone to invest in US stocks. Should i switch over to TD ameritrade they have 0 comm fees compared to FSMone’s 10usd per txn? How should i switch over progressively? Ty!?

Should I use POEMS or TD ameritrade for US stocks?

What is the absolute values of total stock cost for choosing fixed tier or floating tier to achieve lowest effective fees for IBKR SG account?

Which broker to use for US ETF e.g. vanguard snp 500? Saxo or td ameritrade. Quite confused by the many costs.. Also, is roboadvisors another “alternative” to invest in us etf? I would like to buy and hold US etf, before dabbling in the rest.?

Saxo commission fees are low but conversion costs are high. This caused total costs to be at least 1.6% to buy US stocks. Anyone encounter that or am I doing something wrong?
