ETF Management Fees (For ETF portfolios)
The ETF management fee across our Syfe Core portfolios averages 0.15 - 0.24%. For an ETF management fee of 0.15%, this amounts to around US$1.50 per US$1,000 invested each year. The fee is charged by the ETF manager and built in to the prices of the ETFs that we buy on your behalf.
Since it is not charged by Syfe, you will not see the ETF management fee deducted directly from your Syfe account.
Currency Conversion
There is a 0.09% fee for currency conversion charged by our broker, SAXO Markets, on the amount converted. This is applicable on SGD transfers made to Syfe Core portfolios where we need to buy or sell US dollars to trade US securities in your account.
