A Beneficiary Account in FSM Global is useful if you are planning a separate portfolio for another person. In the event that any one person in the beneficiary account passes away, the assets of the account will belong to the surviving person.

The main applicant (main account holder) of this beneficiary account must be above 18 years old. Please note that the main applicant is still the key operator of this account and the owner of the assets invested under this account as long as the main applicant is still alive. All correspondence will be notified to the main account holder.

Notes:
1. You can only use Cash Investments for the FSM Beneficiary Account. You cannot use either your CPF/SRS or your beneficiary account holder's CPF/SRS account to invest in the beneficiary account.
2. The FSM Global Beneficiary Account is different from a joint name bank account that you normally see in a bank. This is because for FSM Global Beneficiary Account, the main holder is still the primary operator and owner of the accounts. For example, the sell/redemption proceeds (Cash) will ONLY be payable to the main account holder.
3. In the event that the main account holder passes away, the assets of the account will belong to the nominated beneficiary account holder. The beneficiary account holder (upon 18 years old) is required to bring the original death certificate and his/her original NRIC to our office. We will open a Personal Account for the beneficiary holder and then transfer all the holdings registered under the beneficiary account into this newly created Personal Account. Thereafter, the beneficiary will have rights towards this holdings and he/she will be able to purchase, sell or switch if he/she wishes to.
4. Based on the nature of the Beneficiary Acount, you should not indicate yourself as the Beneficiary Account Holder when opening this type of account.

We won’t be able to approve your account application if we do not receive all required documents from you. Regular emails will be sent out to you as a reminder.

Please note if we do not receive all documents required for the account application completion within the timeframe, your account application will be voided automatically after 120 days from the date of application.

Once the application is auto-voided, you would need to re-submit a new account application online and re-send the required documents again.

If you already have a Personal or Beneficiary account with FSM Global, you can log in and go to Account Settings > Open An Additional Account > I’m an existing FSM Client to apply for the other account type (e.g., open a Beneficiary account if you already hold a Personal account, or vice versa).

Please note that, under the requirements of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), financial institutions must maintain strict and up-to-date customer due diligence records. Therefore, you are required to resubmit a full set of account opening documents (for both the main and beneficiary applicants) along with the latest supporting documents (not older than 3 months), even if you already have an approved account with us.

No, it is not compulsory to open a Singapore (local) SGD bank account when you open an investment account with us.

It will also be easier for you to make payment to us via FAST Transfer, PayNow UEN, Cheque or Internet Bill payment.

A Beneficial Owner refers to an individual who has a level of control over, or entitlement to, the funds or assets in the account that, as a practical matter, enables the individual, directly or indirectly, to control, manage or direct to the account.The ability to fund the account or the entitlement to the funds of the account alone, however, without corresponding authority to control, manage or direct the account (such as in the case of a minor child beneficiary), does not cause the individual to be a beneficial owner.
 
A Beneficial Owner is NOT referring to the “Beneficiary Account Holder” or "Beneficiaries" who will inherit the asset when the main account holder passes away.
