  • On any business day, we will process the orders placed before cut off time on the same day and have the orders passed to fund houses. The cut off time for different fund houses are NOT the same, mostly at 15:00 or 15:30. Please click here to see the list.

  • While you can place your investment fund orders via our Online Unit Trusts platform which operates 24 hours a day, please note that the Bank will only process the orders on business day only. We will process the orders placed before cut off time on the same day; otherwise, on the next business day.

    Yet, even the Bank has processed the orders to fund house, the order may not be executed on the day if it is not a valid dealing day for the fund you have submitted order for. For example, a fund may not provide dealing when a market where it has significant holding on is closed for public holiday. The definition of dealing day is not the same across different funds. Please refer to the fund’s offering document before order placement.

Kindly review order status to ensure your order is placed successfully. We will inform you by written for any orders being rejected.

  • We only accept Integrated Deposits Account and Statement Savings/ Current Account for settlement purpose. We are afraid passport saving will not be accepted.

However, you may give instruction after completing an enhanced order taking process with the Bank’s staff over the phone or meeting at branch.

Cancellation cannot be done online, but we will accept cancellation through Branch Sales Staff or Investment Hotline (2886 8868), of which details are displayed in Online Unit Trusts. Please ensure there is at least 30 minutes before branch cut-off. Once the deadline is passed, no cancellation requests will be handled.

Holding related FAQs

  • The average unit cost is your total investment amount divided by your holding units. Total investment amount refers to the gross amount (i.e. before fee) you have invested in the particular fund. Unit Dividend and Cash Dividend are distributions made by the fund and hence not included as investment amount.

    Please note that the figure is for reference only and may not truly reflect the average unit cost of your holding since your purchase. For any transfer in transaction, no matter it is through external or internet, the last available indicative price on or before the actual date of transfer has been adopted for calculation.
