Mutual funds trading was added to Webull in December 2022. The offering is broadly categorised into:

What are Mutual Funds?
A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment vehicle, and the portfolio can consist of various asset classes like stocks, bonds and/or other financial assets.
Mutual funds allow individual investors to access a portfolio of various assets without actually owning all the securities in the portfolio the fund invests in.
It also provides investors with diversification and is usually categorised into different themes or investment objectives.

Take-Profit/Stop-Loss Orders
A new feature added to the Webull trading platform in January 2023.
A Take-Profit/Stop-Loss order is used to exit an existing position and can only be placed during regular trading hours.
- A Take-Profit order is used to protect profit on an existing position once the stock reaches a specified price. It is filled as a limit order when triggered.
- A Stop-Loss order is designed to prevent further losses on the existing position once the stock reaches a specified price and is filled as a market order.
Notes:
- It is possible that a Stop-Loss order may be filled at a price much different from the pre-determined price, especially in a volatile market
- A target price should be set in both Take-Profit Orders and Stop-Loss Orders. When one of them is filled, the other is automatically cancelled.

After you click on “Sign Up” from the Webull sign up page, you should see a form to sign up with your mobile number. If you do not see it, try using a different web browser or disable your pop-up and ad blockers.

- I logged into SingPass MyInfo to autofill some parts of the forms.

After completing the above steps, Webull will review the account opening application.

Notes
NBA Brooklyn Nets sponsor
Did you know that Webull is the official jersey patch partner for the Brooklyn Nets beginning with the 2021-2022 NBA season?

Educate yourself on investing
I would strongly recommend you register a FREE account with SGX’s Online Education Programme and complete the basic courses first if you are new to investing.
Staying safe from scammers
Be wary of scams that can take place in the form of online stock recommendations from unofficial sources or informal chat groups.
Scammers might impersonate real people from genuine financial services firms to tempt you into investing in any recommended stocks/investment products.
Some scammers might use spoofed or unofficial social media accounts to spread and disseminate false information. At the time of writing (June 2024), Webull does not have an official Telegram account.
You can protect yourself and others by observing the following:
- Change your privacy setting in your messaging apps to prevent others from adding you to random investment chat groups.
- Be wary of stock tips/ recommendations from unofficial sources (e.g. Social Media platforms/Messaging App)
- Do your research before investing in any investment product
- Check the credentials of the supposed company or representatives using sources such as MAS Financial Institutions Directory, Register of representatives and Investor Alert List.
Disclaimer
All investments involve risks and are not suitable for every investor. The value of securities may fluctuate and as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment.
Margin trading increases the risk of loss and clients’ losses may exceed the deposits placed. The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns.
Keep in mind that while diversification may help spread risk it does not assure a profit, or protect against the loss, in a down market.
There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.
Any reward including shares, fractional or otherwise, which are received via any promotion campaign does not constitute as an invitation, inducement, recommendation, suggestion, or solicitation to investing.
