For many people looking to start investing in the Singapore stock market, one of the challenges faced is expensive brokerage fees from the incumbent local-based brokerages.

For decades, this problem went unresolved, until in recent years when Singapore started opening up to allow foreign-based brokerages to offer stocks on SGX.

This means potentially lower fees for new traders and investors, especially those with small accounts, since the local-based brokerages usually charge a minimum fee per transaction, which is disadvantageous for small accounts.

 

 

Latest Promotion: Free Apple Shares!

One of these new brokerages coming into Singapore is FUTU Singapore Pte. Ltd. (FUTU SG) and its parent company FUTU Holdings Limited, a NASDAQ-listed company and backed by Tencent. In Singapore, FUTU SG’s trading app Moomoo is currently running an attractive limited-period promotion.
