This portal educates investors on the basic concepts and risks of trading unlisted Specified Investment Products (SIPs). It includes a quiz at the end that tests your knowledge on the subject.

Before you can trade in SIPs, a Client Proficiency Assessment (CPA) must be conducted. Part VI of the CPA form now takes the ABS-SAS e-Learning Portal for Investors into consideration. Hence, if you previously did not fulfill the Educational Qualifications, Work Experience and Investment Experience requirements of the CPA but still wish to trade in unlisted SIPs, passing the necessary modules on the e-Learning Portal is an alternative way for you to fulfill the CPA.

Some highlights:

1)   We will continue to offer Direct Market Access CFDs for ALL the markets that we cover. This means you will be able to trade into the underlying exchanges, place limit orders and participate in opening and closing auctions.

2)   Your counterparty risk will be Maybank Kim Eng at all times. Your funds will be kept in a customer segregated bank account in Singapore.

3)   Choice of two platforms: CFDTrader and CFDInvestor. While most of you will be familiar with CFDTrader, we are launching a lighter, faster version called CFD Investor. This version uses less bandwidth and results in less Java-related issues.

4)   Trade UK CFDs. This is a new market on top of our existing 8 markets (Singapore, Hong Kong, US, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Korea).

5)   Default commission for Singapore and Hong Kong CFDs has been lowered to 0.27% and 0.35% respectively (down from 0.30% and 0.40% previously).

6)   Processes such as account opening, uploading of funds etc. have been shortened considerably and made more efficient.

Our Commitment to Clients

Our clients have appreciated the fact that their monies and positions have not been compromised by the MF Global situation. Clients have not been forced to close out any positions and up till today, there are still some with open positions who are free to close out at anytime. KE CFD has also waived the closing commission and financing charges for all trades during this period.

Migration of Accounts

Your existing CFD account (funded or otherwise) will be migrated to the new platform. No action is required from you. This exercise will take place from 26 June to 3 July 2012.  You will receive a Welcome E-mail with your new login details, and your new password will be sent by post.

We are taking the opportunity to revamp our website and improve our CFD offering. You can look forward to some exciting upgrades when we are back online next year.

Clients who have existing open positions can close their positions or continue holding them if they wish, subject to maintenance of margin requirements.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has introduced new requirements for broking firms to formally assess their retail customer's investment knowledge and experience before selling certain investment products to the customer. These stronger measures and enhanced requirements have been imposed by MAS to further safeguard customers' interests. Under the new measures, brokers must conduct a Customer Knowledge Assessment to assess whether a customer has the relevant knowledge or experience to understand the risks and features of Contract for Differences (CFDs).

If you wish to qualify to continue trading CFDs, please visit any of our Customer Service Centres or our Investor Centre to fill the complete the CKA assessment form. Alternatively, you can download the form here and mail it to Kim Eng Securities Pte Ltd at:

We would like to provide you with an update on the status of KE CFD.

We would once again like to assure you that the funds in your account are safe. All CFD cash accounts are held in a customer segregated account in accordance with Securities & Futures Regulation (Licensing & Conduct Business) Regulation 16. To make a withdrawal of your excess margin or check on your open positions, kindly contact your Trading Representative. All requests to withdraw money from your account will be processed and account payee cheque will be issued as per our normal rules with this product, subject to there being sufficient free equity in your account

Since the start of business in Asia yesterday morning, we have enabled KE CFD clients the ability to unwind or hold any open KE CFD positions. All commissions and financing charges will be waived during this period. Our solution to restore market access removes MF Global from the equation and you can be assured that your open positions, if any, will not be subject to the further unfolding events at MF Global. You may continue to hold your open positions subject to maintenance of minimum initial margin of 25%.

Please note that there may be some delay in despatching and making available statements to you as some of our operations processes are manually performed during this time and we wish to ensure accuracy of information prior to your receipt thereof. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kim Eng would like to reassure all customers that this development in no way affects the ability of our clients to continue holding or closing out their open KE CFD positions, as communicated by KE CFD on October 31 and November 1. The solution that KE CFD devised and implemented on 2 November to address the lack of market access experienced by customers on November 1 does not involve MF Global and such solution can continue notwithstanding any further developments at MF Global, including the reported actions of MF Global Australia.

As at the start of business on 2 Nov 2011, KE CFD has provided access to clients who have existing open positions.

For clients with existing positions, please note the following:

1. We will not allow any new position; only closing out of existing open positions
2. Minimum initial margin will be maintained at 25% until further notice
3. Orders can only be placed offline through your Trading Representative
4. Orders need to to placed by 3.30pm for Hong Kong market and 4.30pm for Singapore market in order to be executed on same day
5. Commission will be waived during this period for the closing out of your positions.
6. All request to withdraw money from trust will be process and account payee cheque will be issued to client as per our normal rules with this product, subject to client having sufficient free equity

Due to the offline nature of execution, placing of trades and confirmation will be less expedient.

Please note that clients who wish to continue holding open positions may do so subject to maintenance of margin requirements. Their ability to do so is unaffected by any developments at MF Global.

We seek your understanding for the inconvenience caused.
