What would be a good way to automate regular buying of shares?

Hi anon,

Based on your monthly budget, you can check out OCBC and POSB even, to see what the charges would be like. I believe POEMS has the widest range of shares for you to choose from though, but I am not a fan of RSS as I prefer to wait for the right pricing for my shares before buying instead of committing an amount every month for the long term.

You can automate the buying through any RSS scheme should you decide to proceed, but compare the scheme first to ensure your ransactional costs are minimized. If it's still high (say, 0.5% or more), you might not want to do RSS and should consider UT RSP instead.
