Recommendations for best platform to purchase mutual funds? I am more familiar with analysing funds (part of my job scope). Also know how costs erode the returns which is why the platform to buy from plays a part too?

As to "eroding costs" mutual funds (unit trusts) surely are to avoid.

better stay with passive indexing ETFs.

Apart from those that listed by Gabriel, there is also dollarDEX which is said to be of $0 Sale Charges, Switching Fees And Platform Fees. However, they do earn a portion of the annual management fee which is already embedded to the cost of the unit trust / fund. You can read more on https://www.dollardex.com/SG/index.cfm?current=...

I personally prefer FSM as i find their rates very competitive.

Their improved web interface makes the user experience better and they are rather upfront on their cost.

​

Besides, they carry quite a wide range of funds, although they are more Asian-focused I feel.
