Frequently Asked Questions
SIPs – CAR / CKA
How should I proceed after completing the E-learning for CKA (CFD)?
If you do not meet any of the CKA (CFD) assessment criteria, you may sit for the online E-learning module (CFD) jointly developed by The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) and Securities Association of Singapore (SAS). The E-Learning portal defines the key features and risks of trading CFDs and allows retail investors to have a better understanding of the product before investing.
Upon taking and passing the assessments on the E-learning portal,
1) Download the certificate.
2) Attach the completed CKA Form.
3) Email to your trading representative or cfd@phillip.com.sg.
