Do you have any other questions on IBKR? Share with us down below and maybe someone knows the solution to it!⬇️

[@Tom__0824]

Hey Ziet, I have a question about the fund's withdrawal part. I thought that Malaysia doesn't currently charge for capital gains tax? Why should I worry when a large sum of money is withdraw back to my bank account?

[@vsuren]

Malaysia stamp duty charged extra?

[@ZietInvests]

@@Tom__0824 Hi, technically you are right, Malaysia doesn't charge for capital gains tax, but that does not stop the tax department from knocking your door and auditing your income source - no one can guarantee the outcome. Hence why it is always best to be aware and educated on this, plus, have "alternative" route to avoid being in a position where the huge some of money is remitted + you're sitting in the same room as the authority :x (Please double check this with an accountant/financial advisor and they will have the best advice for managing your wealth transfers!)

[@ZietInvests]

@@vsuren i dont think so!

[@Tom__0824]

Thanks for your comment!@@ZietInvests

[@JamesBullock-fl9ly]

I have an IBKR account. I love the fact that I have plenty of options in this brokerage, and yes, they ARE strict! Happy investing!

[@weikeongtan8125]

Great sharing, thanks Ziet! Wanted to ask since Malaysia don't have capital gain tax. Do we still require to declare foreign stock investment during tax submission?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Wei Keong, very good question. My friend have asked LHDN this via call, and the officer said yes need to declare under "Dan lain-lain" section below your income. But frankly if you ask me, that's capital gains tax right? Doesn't really make sense to me - so best if you can get an accountant to confirm this!

[@weikeongtan8125]

Got it, thanks Ziet!

[@Johann75]

Love your videos. Ziet, what do you think about IBKR Stock Yield Enhancement Program (SYEP)?

[@Billcfc911]

Brilliant video, would be great if you can start doing it on a regular basis (once a month or so...) thanks Ziet.

[@ZietInvests]

I'm so glad you liked it!! Keep the questions coming if you have any so that I can feature more varieties of problems to help more people😊 Thank you!!

[@Arquebusier89]

Bro thank you so much for this. It’s frustrating I cannot buy options or complex etf. It’s always good to have options open.

[@peipei3237]

I would like to know about account inheritance. If anything happens to me (pass away), what will happen to my stock?

[@ZietInvests]

For Malaysians - IBKR advice to hire a lawyer and approach their customer support to setup a will for inheritance transfer. This is because their platform don't natively support inheritance transfer for non-US clients. (Correct me if im wrong!)

[@fccp4348]

Good day, Zeits. What if I let my close relative have AC password access and he transfer through WISE all my $ to his WISE AC after I died. Can it work that way or should I have a joint AC in IBKR.

[@styfrung]

Can you provide a step by step guide on opening ibkr and buying please?

[@anthony.L]

he did already, check older videos

[@flaviopivatelli956]

As IBKR is the ONLY US broker providing Ireland-domiciled ETFs to non-US residents/citizens what could it do if IB went bust or insolvent and consequently would have NO another broker to transfer the assets to?

[@ZietInvests]

Unfortunately that also means if you need to transfer to another broker, if they dont accept these stocks, you would have to liquidate those positions and transfer in cash terms instead

[@flaviopivatelli956]

Thanks for reply

[@kuriansimonvarughese6825]

Thanks for making wonderful content as always....Recently i am not able to get authentication code to log in into IBKR account using laptop. Pls advice on this .....thanks

[@rustem312]

I'm facing the same issue. Is this a recurrent problem with IBKR? If so, I will look for another broker, I'm happy I didn't deposit anything yet

[@YesWec]

Any update, novelty guys?

[@peterfischer7084]

Following Brexit my IBKR account was moved from the UK to Ireland. This has the disadvantage that now the limit for protection for cash in case of IBKR'S bankruptcy is only €20000, not €100000 as before.

[@amira1594-1]

there's a Dividend Election option in settings which is "receive cash" by default. The other option is "reinvest" . Doest this setting matter if i only buy accumulating etf-s anyway?

[@knith123]

Awesome stuff Ziet! I currently started my investing journey with 50% in VUAA and another 50% spread across Microsoft, alphabet and Apple. I’m not sure if I should diversify out of this to stock pick outside S&P 500 such as even other countries and non tech sectors, swap to VWRA or just stick to VUAA and chill all the way. I want to have 50% of my savings in ASB and 50% in the USD stock market as I believe I have a low to medium risk appetite. Any advice on this?

[@NickGhale]

For VUAA, check out SPXS.L or SPYL, cheaper

[@CayonPokPok]

Can I check, which broker will u recommended for malaysian who wish to trade U.S and HK?

[@kaiaitan1425]

Hey, Ziet, thanks for the explanation. It clears all my doubts!

[@gozza]

Hi Ziet!! Awesome video. But need to ask question. Let say you remit $$ from IBKR to Msia account and got triggered by BNM. What type of proof do we need to provide to justify?

[@caseywong903]

Great sharing ! Can you comment on investors of foreign nationality residing in Malaysia - can they maintain IB account to trade US stocks from Malaysia, and if yes, which IB to register (SG or US), are there's restrictions to these class of investors in this case?

[@InvestingEducation]

for the accumulating etf VUAA, is there any withholding tax?

[@kenjispirit]

Hi Ziet, I have USD currency in a foreign bank account (non-US), is there any better way other than wise? I did check on WISE if I were to add money into wise by "SWIFT" there is a SWIFT fee incurred? Not to mention there may be additional fees from the bank itself?

[@anthony.L]

Hi Ziet. Thanks for all your videos. I have a question but not really about IB. Why Alibaba US (BABA) is less performing than Alibaba China/HK (9988)?

[@wewave23]

It's a matter of perception. Investors in China knows the truth of Alibaba's performance, those gweilos in the US of A only know propaganda fed to their brain dead heads.

[@SuperClivo]

Hey Ziet! Can you make a video explaining how the Stock Yield Enhancement Program on IBKR works?

What is the option entry and exit fee? Is the expired option incurs any fee (expired option in TOS is no charge)?

[@ZietInvests]

Hello ~ as far as i know expired options dont incur any fee; standard option trading fees will apply for entry and exit.

[@TJunChuan]

Man I hate IBKR so much. It's pain in the ass when registering a single account. First register failed and they won't give any reason, second attempt need some trading certificate or something and I can't proceed with that because I don't have it

Thank you mate!!

[@FrontScenery]

Hey Ziet, Great video there. BTW, let's say somehow I managed to made from 10k to 1m MYR in the broker. Since this money is clean, is it possible I can withdraw one lump sum? Will I still get taxed even i can show evidence of my money where it came from ?

[@ZietInvests]

Hi, as mentioned in the video, i can’t guarantee how the malaysian authority will react when you bring in that huge sum of money into the country, cross corder. Technically capital gains are not taxable, but as part of anti money laundering exercise they’re gonna have to audit and investigate the source of your income - i.e going through your statement etc. Do check with a financial advisor for the most accurate advice ya😄

Does US Stock DRIP got any charges in IBKR? Thanks

Hi Ziet, what market data do I need to trade North American Futures?

Hey there! To trade North American futures effectively, you'll want to get your hands on live futures data for the contracts you're interested in, like the E-mini S&P 500 or NASDAQ futures. Can try checking with IBKR customer support ya, hope this helps!

2 questions here..1. Being a malaysian, despite changing the trading permissions and what not, we cant seems to buy bitcoin. any way to maneuver around this? 2. knowingly that anything above 60k usd in IB, we will be slapped 40% inheritance tax (or tiered), besides giving it annually it as gift, what can we do in case we suddenly gone and can official will writing mitigate this? thanks

[@ZietInvests]

Hi Leonard, thank you for the great questions! 1. I feel you, and yeah, at the moment IBKR (and many other brokers) does not allow Malaysian clients to buy BTC, probably due to the stringent financial regulations. Will keep you all updated as soon as it's available! 2. Yes there will be inheritance tax, but its up to 40%, not 40% flat ya. Unfortunately there's not way to avoid it if you invest in the US market, but it can be mitigated partially through investments via Ireland domiciled ETFs - as there are no inheritance tax on irish-domiciled assets for us!

The USD 25 charge could be a fee related to international wire transfers or a compliance check. It might be a one-time fee, but it's best to confirm with your bank or IBKR.

You might have sent it through foreign telegraphic transfer, the USD 30 is charged by your bank, thats why its not encouraged to do that :x Try this method instead, its much cheaper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/borIdYdopNFkgZIsi=mOc6m9vuIHNAXL6c

[@averageoptions]

How long does it take to withdraw your fund to your Wise account?

[@kylehudsons]

Do not spread your withdrawal within a short time period. This is structuring, you will still get triggered. If you are not doing anything shady then just withdraw all of it lump sum and be ready for your Bank to call you and provide all the necessary documentation to proof the source of fund. Or if you need X amount on a certain periodical basis then monthly is the best bet. It will still trigger but as long as not too large then they may potentially let it go if your profile is matching the amount you are transacting. #Not a money laundering advice

What's the problem even if your withdrawals trigger the authorities? If your trading is legit, if the broker is legit, then just pay the relevant taxes on income and there's no problem. Right? Granted that IB like many other foreign brokers are on the Malaysian security commision alert list, by virtue of it being an offshore brokerage, without licence and not regulated by Malaysian laws, it is just a precaution notice and is not illegal. That's my take on the matter
