Modernization of Singapore’s Post-Trade Custody Model
Dear Valued Client,
SGX has introduced new rules relating to the holding of SGX-listed securities and shareholder rights.
These changes apply to clients who hold SGX-listed securities through UOB Kay Hian's custody service. If your SGX listed securities are held with CDP directly, you are not affected by these changes and may continue to hold your CDP Accounts.
What is Changing
Under the revised SGX rules, UOB Kay Hian may in future hold clients' SGX-listed securities together in a consolidated custody account. This change is mainly administrative. It does not require your action and does not affect your ownership or entitlements.
What Does This Mean for You?
Your ownership and entitlements remain unchanged.
Your holdings will continue to be recorded and tracked separately under your name in our records.
There is also no change to your ownership of the securities or your entitlement to the benefits arising from them.
You will receive enhanced support for your shareholder rights
UOB Kay Hian will facilitate the exercise of shareholder rights for SGX-listed securities held in our custody. This includes providing notices of shareholder meetings and relevant corporate actions, and facilitating your voting instructions where applicable, etc.
Implementation Timeline
We are currently working to facilitate these changes before 31 December 2026.
No action is required from you at this time. We will provide further updates and details before any changes are implemented for your account.

SECURITY NOTICE: Beware of Fake Investment Chat Group Scams
We wish to alert clients to a rise in investment scams involving online chat groups. According to recent MAS advisories, scammers may use social media advertisements offering “free investment lessons”, then invite victims into WhatsApp or other chat groups where fake “mentors” and “members” promote false investment profits.
Victims may be asked to download unfamiliar apps, visit fraudulent websites, transfer funds to unknown bank accounts, or hand over cash or valuables. Small initial “returns” may be shown to build trust, but withdrawals are later blocked and the scammers disappear.
Please stay vigilant. Be cautious if:
- You are added to an investment chat group by someone you do not know.
- You are promised high returns with little or no risk.
- You are asked to download unfamiliar investment apps or visit unknown websites.
- You are pressured to transfer money quickly.
Do not send money to anyone you have not verified. Do not rely on profit screenshots or testimonials shown in chat groups, as these may be fake.
UOB Kay Hian will never ask for your password. If you receive suspicious investment offers or messages claiming to be from us, please verify through cs-sg@uobkh.com or call our hotline @ +65 6536 9338.

Trading Guidelines for New US IPOs via UTRADE Platforms
Kindly be advised of the following guidelines when trading newly listed US IPO stocks via UTRADE platforms:
1. Stock Code Availability
The IPO stock code will be available on UTRADE platforms after 8:45pm (Singapore Time) on the listing day. To ensure that the IPO stock code is reflected on the platform, kindly relogin to your UTRADE account after 8:45pm (Singapore Time).
2. Market Orders
Kindly refrain from placing any market orders prior to market open.
3. Limit Orders
Limit orders for newly listed US IPO stocks will only be accepted after 9:10am (US Eastern Time).
4. Price Limit Controls
Kindly note that the following price limit controls apply when placing orders for newly listed US IPO stocks and are subject to current US broker requirements.
4a. Aggressive Price Order
(i.e. entering a higher buy price than the current seller price or a lower sell price than the current buyer price) is restricted to 3% from last done/IPO price for stock price USD50.00 and above.
Example:
If the last done/IPO price is USD50.00:
Maximum buy price (buy up): USD51.50
Minimum sell price (sell down): USD48.50
4b. Passive Price Order
(i.e. entering a lower buy price than the current seller price or a higher sell price than the current buyer price). There is no price limit restriction for passive orders.
Example:
If the last done/IPO price is USD50.00:
Minimum buy price: Any price below USD50.00
Maximum sell price: Any price above USD50.00
5. Market Opening Time for New IPOs
Please note that trading for newly listed US IPOs may not begin exactly at 9:30am (US Eastern Time).
Most IPOs typically start trading later in the day, often after 11:00am (US Eastern Time) as market makers require time to organise and match buy and sell orders to determine a fair opening price.
For larger IPOs, such as SPCX, the start of trading may be further delayed beyond 11:00am depending on market conditions and order imbalances.
Clients are advised to refer to the NASDAQ website for the latest updates on IPO trading status and indicative opening times.
