| Q: |
I have current holding of SGD50,000 and I am placing a purchase order of SGD30,000 now. Will I be entitled to Silver discount for the SGD30,000 new purchase? |
| A: |
No. The Silver discount will not apply to the SGD30,000 purchase because you have not obtained a Silver status when placing this purchase order. Once we have processed your SGD30,000 purchase order, your account will be updated to Silver status. Silver discount will apply to your subsequent purchases as long as Silver status is maintained. |

| Q: |
How do you determine the discount based on Lump Sum Investment? |
| A: |
Discount will be given based on the total lump sum investment in a single purchase order. A single purchase order means that different funds have to be selected at the same time during the buy process (i.e. same purchase order number).
For example, you are an existing Silver status investment account holder. In scenario 1, you place a buy order of S$100,000 at 9am in the morning, followed by a subsequent buy order of S$200,000 at 12 noon. The discount you are given remains at 0.2% off FSM 1% sales charge. However, in scenario 2, instead of placing 2 different buy orders, you put through a single buy order of S$300,000 at the same time. The discount given to you will be 0.4% off FSM 1% sales charge. |

| Q: |
How do I put through different funds in a single purchase order? |
| A: |

| Q: |
How do you determine my Current Holdings? |

Similarly, if your total amount for unit trust holdings and Cash Account holdings is above or equals to S$250,000, you will attain a Gold status.
Please note that the qualifying amount in the current holdings will be tabulated on a per account basis. The qualifying amount is NOT tabulated by combining the current holdings of two or more investment accounts. |
