CM Broker?

[THAIPHUKET]

My wife wants to invest some savings e g into Market Vectors India Small Cap Index ETF. Where to open account with excellent fee conditions?

[JLT]

What do you consider to be "excellent fees"?

[THAIPHUKET]

Not sure except fees shouldn't eat into performance i e as reasonable as possible

[elektrified]

What exchange is this traded on? Or is it some kind of mutual fund?

I can recommend a broker but they don't do funds; only shares.

CIMB trading is perhaps an option for you.

[THAIPHUKET]

It's an ETF

Also for my own purpose a broker recommendation is welcome. I trade basically on NASDAQ.

why not just buy some of the various "India" ETFs and close end mutual funds in your home country. The Norwegian one is yielding close to 8%...Singapore 4%+. You may be hard pressed to find a broker, who will recommend an emerging market fund right now, however, when they all are against something it is usually a lot closer to the bottom than the top.

Fair enough. Tip Norway is splendid, for myself! First task is to set up an account for my wife. Time is not of the essence.

I believe in the future India with the youngest population in all of Asia, Thinking far ahead, to wait for bottom fishing may not be worth it. Asia is also much easier to understand for her. It´s meant as a training ground.

I was fairly impressed with May Bank Kim Eng, over by the Airport Plaza driving range....I've been tempted to buy some yielders at a good price, and get a local income stream going....but it's a lot simpler in the US, and if your income is relatively low; tax rates are better.....and that is one thing you gotta watch...not sure about Norway (ticker is NORW), but last time I owned a German company, my dividends were taxed 26.375%, Canada is 15%....and if you don't owe any in America...it is out the window.

You can buy Thailand in the US TTF or THD...or Singapore is EWS, Malaysia EWM, Hong Kong EWH, United Kingdom EWU.

The S & P Utility SPDR is yielding 3.86% right now....and the big oil companies are way high...BP=7%, Conoco 6%, Chevron 5%, Exxon 4%....but, of course, high yields can be "yield traps," but these companies have a record of dividend increases second only to the Cigarette companies. Look at these high dividend etfs DIV, EDIV, and SDIV.....but the skeptics will say that dividend funds expose you to sectors that have gone bad like energy.....
