Is it better to activate multi currency function for investment account? Assuming there's no currency conversion fee?

Better to activate multi currency function for investment account? Assuming no currency conversion fee.

While I would prefer to have my US/HK trades settle back in SGD after every trade, for ease of managing/planning and there is no conversion fee anyway, what do you guys think?

While i understand multi currency wallet is aimed at minimising risk of loss through currency fluctuation, i will typically buy after every sell. So don't foresee currency fluctuation risk.

Am I missing out anything?

Even if they claim no exchange currency fee, they will probably mark up the fx rate and earn from there. Really no free lunch

Hi there!

I believe there is always a spread when it comes to currency exchange, just like a money changer. Just like no platform helps you to invest for absolutely no charge, no platform will offer a (totally) free service of currency exchange. Or they’ll charge it from somewhere else.
