Hi Simon, sorry but I'm a bit behind here. Why do you guys not make it possible to trade US and UK equities on the Standardbank platform. HSBC does it.

Am not sure Simon is directly involved anymore - although he might know the answer.

The Standard bank plateform for offshore is a tad on the expensive side, shop around!!! No real value add for the higher cost

I agree, i would use it except they charge 0.2% of your portfolio, that could be a big amount when your portfolio grows, so i will look at other platforms that charge a fixed fee. A pity because i would have preferred to stay with Standard bank.

Keep in mind that the bulk of "offshore" platforms managed by brokers in SA, are Saxobank. Sanlam, Vunani, 28e, Independent securities the list goes on
