I bought some US and SG shares offline in 2011 in cash from a brokerage but now there is a missing record. Any advice on my missing record of share purchased offline 10 years ago?

I bought some US and SG shares offline in 2011 in cash from a brokerage. Now they say I have no record of this! (but I can see it in my scrap book... Broker shows me screenshot that it's not on record). CDP shows the SG shares I bought so how do I locate my US shares? Musical chairs done. I even called up 2 other brokerages. Only Philips I have proof of old statements. I am sure it's not sold as I had buy n hold forever mindset. Now what can i do? Make a police report? Then what?

I believe US shares are bought under custodian account. Show your broker proof of statement/ transactions that you bought the US shares through them. Follow up with an email to customer service that conversation took place and you expect them to reply within 2 weeks (or a timeline you are comfortable with). Let them come back with proof that shares are sold with your instructions or transferred or whatsoever. If this does not resolve, write in to MAS to seek advise.

Best of luck.

My parents bought a whole life policy 23 years ago for me and I would like to get some advice on policies that were purchased a long time ago. Would older policies have higher accumulated bonuses?

I had bought a resale HDB flat with grant. After 10 years I sold and bought brand new EC. However, I have intended to sell my EC after 5 years. Am I eligible to purchase a new BTO flat?

How can I sell off or let others take over my investment products such as PruSelect or PruFlexi cash or ILP bought few years ago? Would I minimize lose if I were to do that?

Should I discontinue a savings policy bought 6 months ago from an agent? It is stated that I will not be getting back a single cent if I discontinue this policy (a long term of 15 yrs with a cashback feature at end of 2nd year but pay only 10 yrs)?
