Currently restricted to STI but with the potential to expand that to other indices if it goes well. Based on your OP, it sounds like Citibank or POEMS would be the best choice for this.<br /><br />Would you have any kind of recommendation for any particular platform?Wolfgangs246https://www.blogger.com/profile/12395903491974768234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818480333870774602.post-37285461126046487642011-10-16T16:03:55.926+08:002011-10-16T16:03:55.926+08:00Hi Mike,

Based on your experience (which I assume has increased since your original post in 2008) do you have a recommendation? <br /><br />From what you've mentioned in your OP. I'm inclined to use POEMS or Citibank.
