I can only sell the stocks in board lots?
No. However, the shares purchased through this plan are likely odd lots, for which the prices are usually at a certain discount off the market prices. Customers can set up "board lots" for target balance.
Can I make changes to the plan?
For the changes in installment amount, stock portfolio or termination, i) "Monthly Stock Investment Plan" application form should be filled and submitted to Chief Securities before the 25th of each month, which will be processed on the upcoming "Day of payment". ii) Application via Chief Securities' mobile app can be submitted before 08:00 a.m. of the "Day of payment".
How can I set the target number of shares?
The target number of shares does not include manual purchase, bonus shares, and the number of stocks deposited through settlement instructions (SI / ISI). The system will only buy the relevant stocks according to the target number of shares you set.
Example 1: You deposit 300 shares in SI / ISI, and set the target number of shares to 1,000, and the total number of shares when you plan to meet the standard is 1,300.
Example 2: Your account has some odd shares (355 shares) and you want to consolidate the number of shares (1,000 shares), you can set the new instructions and the new target number of shares to 645 shares. Then the total number of shares will be 1,000 shares when the plan is set.
