I currently have unit trust and ETFs under POSB-(RSP), is it possible for me to open up an CDP account and transfer my funds over?

I just want to know if it is possible. And what do you guys think? If it is possible, how do i go about doing it? Should I transfer my stocks from a custodian to a custody? Or should I not?

Hi anon,

CDP can only be the custodian for holdings that are traded on the exchange. This would include all listed stocks and ETFs.

Some advantages of holding your stocks in custody will include: Easier rights issue participation, direct crediting of dividends, and the right to attend annual general meeting.

Unit Trusts are held by the distributor and as such can only be transferred out to other distributors which carry the same fund.

It is usually easier to manage your holdings if you consolidate them in a single platform.

Best to check with the bank directly and clarify your concerns.

Also the CDP will only hold the ETFs as they are traded on the SGX. The UTs are not possible to transfer to CDP.

Hi I’m new to ETF I’m still not too sure what I’m I supposed to do with it to profit. I used the POSB RSP currently. Do I sell the units at certain point of time or do I accumulate to earn dividends?
