Regular Savings Plan FAQs

Q: What is the execution price for buying shares on the day of scheduled investments?

After a US stock Regular Savings Plan is set up, the system will place a market order at around 10:30 AM ET on the selected date. To limit the investment amount from being exceeded, the actual order amount is determined by multiplying the investment amount by a factor within the range of [0,1]. The actual number of shares ordered is calculated by dividing the actual order amount by the market price, rounded down to four decimal places. If it's not a trading day, the order will be rescheduled for the next trading day.

For example, Mr. Wang sets a monthly investment of $10 in AAPL. With a factor of 0.85 and AAPL's share price at $100, the order will be for 0.085 shares. So, a market order for 0.085 fractional shares of AAPL will be placed.

Note: If the remaining balance is not enough to buy one whole share, it will be used to invest in fractional shares.

 

Q: Why did my RSP buy 0 shares while my funds were sufficient?

The reason may be due to one of the following:

Illiquid market or extreme weather;

Other extreme situations such as problems with an upstream service provider that can't be resolved immediately.

Note: These events will not affect your upcoming scheduled investments in your RSP.

 

Q: Will there be any charges if my RSP fails?

There will be no charge for a failed RSP.

 

Q: What do I need to be aware of when paying with my universal account?

Q: Why is there a difference between the investment amount and the actual order amount

After a US stock Regular Savings Plan is set up, the system will place a market order at around 10:30 AM ET on the selected date. To limit the investment amount from being exceeded, the actual order amount is calculated by multiplying the investment amount by a factor (with a range of [0,1] and subject to adjustments as required). The number of shares ordered is based on the actual order amount divided by the market price and rounded down to four decimal places.
