My portfolio moved up also, but in a slower pave. Compared with last month, its value rose only 3.54%. Nevertheless, this is still a very good start in the new year.
There was no trade done in this month. As the index moved beyond 3,500 (it touched 3,600 this month but did not stay there), I am slowing down the investment in shares.
Total dividend collected in January was S$13,260. Most of the dividend this month came from bond and UT investment, as not many share counters payout dividend in January.

which platform you used to buy bonds?
Hi sgxfish,
I buy bonds through DBS.
Nowadays I buy shares also using DBS platform.
Hi Sanye,
Any different in fee and commission compare to purchase from fundsupermart?
Is the commission charged same for purchasing bonds and shares?
Hi sgxfish,
The commission charge by banks are higher than fundsupermart, but they are not comparable in term of services provided.
Commission charged for trading shares is 0.18% and there is no minimum charge. Commission for bond is usually 1%, but you have access to corporate bond IPO.
Hope this answer your questions.
Hi Sanye,
Looking to buy some shares (for first time).
Any idea what is a good amount to start with for a first timer?
There seems to be a lot to choose from, but what is really good one to buy and hold?
sorry if it sounds like a silly question.
Hi Sanye,
Can share with us why do you Lian Beng?

Hi Sanye,
DBS Vickers is charging minimum of SGD25 or 0.18% using online if trade above SGD100,000.
Cash upfront account is minimum SGD18 or 0.18%, I could not find any info of no minimum charge.
BTW, how you get access to corp bond IPO? The bank RM contact you when there is new IPO?
Hi Cheryl,
It's difficult to give any advice on "good amount to start with for a first timer". In my opinion, any amount that you are prepared to lose all is a comfortable amount to start with.
What is a good share to buy and hold? Ask yourself the question: "Is this company going to exist in 5 or 10 years?" For me, I started with blue chips companies that are defensive in nature, e.g. SPH, STE, SingTel, Comfortdelgro..... However there is no guarantee of success. Just look at SPH....
Hi Jason,
I like Lian Beng's dividend payout and I thought it was undervalued when I bought it.
sgxfish,
I don't use DBS Vickers. I use DBS Treasury Private Client platform.
Yes, my RM will contact me when there is new IPO. I can also buy from market after IPO when the price is right, through my RM.
Refer to the one of bond price from the market.
The graph shown that the price at end of the day
Bid Price $100.075
Ask Price $99.975
But the online indicative price
Bid Price $103.33
Ask Price $103.118
My RM quoted $104. Any idea how to get this buy price?
Do you know something more about this system ax-dynamics.com? Or maybe you use it in your companies? I want to implement that kind of solution in my company and I'm looking for some information about different kind of systems.
