How are fees calculated and deducted?

Portfolio Management Fees
This is the only fee that DBS charges and it goes towards the research, investment strategy, market monitoring and rebalancing of the digiPortfolio.

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of your portfolio value at the end of each day. The fees are accumulated daily and deducted from the cash portion of your portfolio after each calendar year or upon portfolio closure. If your cash balance is insufficient, we will increase it to the required amount by reducing the proportion of Unit Trust / ETF that you hold at prevailing prices.

You will see it in your transaction history as “DPS Management Fee” and note that this fee will be subject to GST at the prevailing rate.

Fund fees
Fund fees or total expense ratio (TER) is a measure of the total costs associated with managing and operating a fund. This comprises of fund management fees, trading fees and other operating expenses.

The TER is charged by fund managers and is accounted for in the end of day Net Asset Value (NAV) of your portfolio. There is no additional charge for TER.

Will my investment be counted towards the investment category of my Multiplier account?

Investments in SaveUp, Global (ETF-based), Asia, Income, Global Portfolio Plus and Retirement will count towards the investment category.

For new investors, lump sum investments (minimum S$1,000 per transaction) will be counted towards the investment category of DBS Multiplier.
