I usually will deposit SGD into FSMOne Cash Account. There is a page in their app that say foreign exchange currency or something and this is the place you exchange your SGD into different currency. The spread for FSMOne is 0.25% off the spot rate of USD.

Many have advocated that when one is young, one should go for growth stocks as your capital is little and so your dividends will be quite negligible. Yes you might compare this with putting in a bank but when you buy dividend stock, you are exposed to market risk in which your returns can be negative at the end of the day. Therefore, buying into growth stocks when one is young is recommended.

As DBS Vickers send the shares to CDP, you will receive the dividends in your designated bank account if you opt for Direct Crediting Service.

I think there is no limit to how many bank accounts you should have but instead look at whether the bank accounts have minimum fees, fall below fee etc. If they have and the account is dormant, it is recommended to close the accounts. For myself, I have like 8 bank accounts (inclusive of Singlife) but I am only put monies in 2 bank accounts which is Jumpstart and Singlife. As I still have yet to reach the minimum age, I will not close some of the accounts with min fees, fall below fees for now.

The main point is so long your shares are in CDP, you can sell it at any brokerage that can connect to CDP.

Just checked out Saxo RSP website. Initial investment for Saxo RSP is actually $2000 sgd and subsequently $100/month. I am not sure what Saxo has for its managed portfolio by Blackrock, so can't comment much on that. Saxo charges 0.75% per annum by AUM but FSMOne charges min $1 or 0.08% whichever is higher. FSM can buy fractional shares. Alternatively, you can look at DBS digiportfolio.

There are two ways you can go for to DCA S&P500 ETF. The first method being through robo advisors. Example: Syfe's Equity100 has about 14% or so weightage in S&P500 ETF. The second method being ETF RSP. I will recommend FSMOne's ETF RSP.

FSM quarterly platform fees are up to 0.35% annual platform fees on equities. Is FSM as cheap as we think?

Https://secure.fundsupermart.com/fsm/new-to-fsm/pricing-structure The platform fee of 0.35% per annum is for their FSMOne managed portfolio. This does not apply for ETF RSP. As robo advisors are using ETF for their portfolio, it will only be wise to compare it with ETF RSP. The difference between robo advisors and ETF RSP will be their fee structure. The former goes with AUM while the latter charges by transaction.
