POEMS vs FSMOne vs Moomoo for sgx, US stocks & global etfs. Which one would you recommend to beginners investor?

Updated May 2022

​

I would suggest either Moomoo or Tiger for the following reasons:

​

Both Moomoo and Tiger Brokers are regulated by MAS

​

Both Moomoo and Tiger Brokers do not charge monthly custodian fees

Hence, there’s no worry about being charged additional fees on your capital.

​

Both Moomoo and Tiger Brokers are offering commission fee waivers during the promotion period

Moomoo is offering 180 days of unlimited commission-free trades, while Tiger Brokers is offering 60 comission-free trades within 180 days. Hence, feel free to continue using the brokerage for the next 6 months without worries.

​

Both brokerages can be easily funded from DBS/POSB accounts and the withdrawal process is as simple too

Additionally, this is a fruitful month for both brokerages' sign-up offers. In less than a week, I managed to obtain $310 purely on the sign up offers, with a deposit of $4700. This is a 6.6% yield on my deposits. That's more than the dividend yield paid out across all my SGX shares!

​

Moomoo ($40 cash coupon + potentially Tesla Share: up to $1300 with $2700 deposit)

​

Tiger (1 Free Grab Share + $5 cash coupon + potentially Tesla Share: up to $1270 with $2000 deposit)

​

(Update: With the Student promotion for Moomoo, you only need to deposit $1000 instead of $2700 to get your $240 reward!)

​

I personally see this as a must-get offer as a new investor to have an investing headstart by getting attractive rewards and paying $0 minimum commission for investing in SG, US, and HK equities!

For me, i started with poems, buy sgx listed stocks (in my cdp acct), then progressed with moomoo acct for us n hk stocks
