No Custody Fee & Corporate Action Handling Fee
Corporate actions include dividends, rights issues, and stock splits.
AGM invitations
Receive invitations to Annual General Meetings (AGM) as a shareholder and vote directly.

Although stocks and bonds under the custody of brokers are legally protected from broker insolvency, enjoy peace of mind by keeping these assets directly under your name with your CDP Account under the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX).

Shares and bonds are directly held under your name with the CDP.
Singapore Government Bonds (SGS) and Treasury Bills (T-bill) bought through ATMs are also kept within your CDP Account.
