Need Guidance for Hong Kong and China.

[Terry]

Hi,
As a Singapore Citizen to buy shares ,
From understanding that Standard charted trading account can trade Hong kong shares and does not have yearly/monthly maintenance fee.
I'm going to standard charted branch to ask them help me activate the hong kong shares trading feature.

Anyone trading China listed shares like Shenzhen & shanghai stock exchange.
really appreciate if someone could point an arrow where to set up.

You cannot buy the China A shares direct . The local market is not open to foreigners . Difficult to make complaints in China if you get scammed by the broker.

Ask your Standard Chartered Bank or DBS bank or BOC bank for information and their service for buying HK, SH and SZ shares. You probably need to have a RMB bank account linked to the share account.

Try asking Phillips Securities on Balestier Road. This firm has broker branches in Hong Kong where you could open a trading account and operate for a year to gain experience.

[d.o.g.]

The Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Connect programs allow investors to buy a subset of the A-shares (pre-approved list) via a stockbroker's Hong Kong trading account. So if your broker allows you to trade HK stocks you should be able to use the 2 Stock Connect programs. This is the simplest method but you are restricted to the respective Stock Connect approved shares.

To buy non-Stock Connect shares requires either an onshore trading account (i.e. PRC resident) or trading quota via QFII or RQFII which are available to institutional investors only.
