1. I don’t live in Singapore. Is my money safe?
Yes. All cash and investment assets held with FSM Global Singapore are safeguarded, ring-fenced, and reconciled in accordance with strict regulations from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Singapore is widely recognised as a leading global financial hub with a robust regulatory framework, political stability, and strong investor protections. In the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, Singapore ranked #3 worldwide (score 84/100), reflecting an extremely high level of public sector integrity.
2. I want global market access. What can I invest in with FSM Global Singapore?
A single FSM Global account gives you access to major exchanges including the US (NYSE, NASDAQ), London Stock Exchange (LSE), Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX), Singapore Exchange (SGX), Bursa Malaysia, and China A-shares.
You can also choose from more than 2,400 Unit Trusts, 1,600 Bonds, and 10 managed portfolios.
In addition, you get free research articles, videos, and market insights to stay informed.
3. What currencies do you accept?
FSM Global provides a comprehensive Multi-Currency Cash Account supporting 12 major currencies:
- Asia-Pacific: SGD, HKD, CNH, JPY, AUD, NZD, MYR
- Americas: USD, CAD
- Europe: GBP, EUR, CHF
FSM Global Singapore does not charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals. However, banks may charge small fees for Telegraphic Transfers (TT). If you are using iFAST Global Bank, all TT fees will be waived.
Unlike other platforms that automatically convert proceeds back to your "home" currency (subjecting you to unnecessary FX spreads), FSM Global Singapore lets you hold funds in their original currency. You can reinvest in the same market or wait for a better exchange rate to convert. We also do not charge any admin fee for FX transactions.
4. What kind of human support can I expect if I need help?
You’ll have access to a dedicated client services team of real people. Support options include live chat, email, phone, and virtual meetings (Zoom/Google Meet).
We also provide access to non-commission-based investment specialists who offer complimentary portfolio reviews and advisory services. If you’re in Singapore, our office is located in the heart of Raffles Place, Singapore’s Central Business District. Feel free to book an in-person appointment.
5. I wish to start small. What is the minimum to start?
Account opening is free, with no minimum balance required.
To begin investing with small amounts, use our Regular Savings Plan (RSP):
- ETFs from as little as S$50 per month
- Unit Trusts from S$100 per month
Consistent monthly investing also lets you benefit from dollar-cost averaging, which reduces the impact of trying to time the market.
6. What is the onboarding process for non-residents?
The entire process is 100% digital. You’ll typically need to submit a passport, proof of address, and signature. Once submitted, accounts are usually reviewed and activated within 1 to 5 business days, so you can start investing quickly.
