Quora Answer: Can a Non-Singaporean Invest in a Singapore Index Fund?

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “How can a non-Singaporean invest in an index fund in Singapore?

You could go to a brokerage, and open an account.  You could go through the bank, and open an investment account.  You could go through an insurer, and get an investment-linked plan. You could go direct, as an accredited investor, and open your own account.  As a non-Singaporean, you have to fill up further documentation and fulfill further client information.  As long as you can show the funds are not from an illegal source, not part of money laundering or tax evasion, and that you are not a politically exposed person, it is simply a matter of paperwork.
