Hi all. I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but just want some advice over a recent issue at my work. It’s a sole proprietorship if that makes any difference. I recently booked a flight back to the uk for my brother’s wedding in October. It’s the first time in 5 years I’ve been back to t...

On SBI, I managed to cancel/delete my monthly order in eMaxis Slim All Country on Tsumitate NISA for April since it exceeded my target allocations. Does this mean I will receive a notification next month reminding me to make a contribution? No, there is no obligation/expectation to make any NISA pu...

I just found this on the Firstrade Q&A section, so apparently I won't be able to withdraw funds to a WISE account. Can I transfer funds between Firstrade and Money Transfer Services? As an online brokerage firm, Firstrade does not accept transferring funds to and from money transfer services su...

It's (a small amount of) free money. Up to you whether you can be bothered

Woah, that seems bang out of order. I would have made a fuss at that point, at least ask a superior to explain themselves on camera.

Don't see any reason for such a policy, if it even existed.

As taxpaying residents, we also pay for the ship.

Low cost world stock fund.

Anyone got any opinions on the eMAXIS Slim Balance (8 Asset Equalization Type)? It is absolutely dreadful. They clearly created the asset allocation so that it would look nice on a pie chart rather than for any logical reason :roll: Only reason to own it IMO would be if you were willing to use othe...
