As stated in paragraph 6.49 of MAS’ Response to Feedback Received on Proposals to Enhance Regulatory Safeguards for Investors in the Capital Markets dated 22 September 2015 (“MAS’ Response to Feedback Received”), “related liabilities” include a margin account and credit lines taken to finance an investment portfolio. FIs should collect adequate information on an investor’s liabilities to ascertain which are related to their financial assets.
“Primary residence” refers to the home where the investor lives most of the time. This can be located in Singapore or overseas.
Both account holders need to submit the AI form to opt-in as AI. For a non-AI account holder to be eligible to opt-in for AI status in respect of a joint account, (i) at least one joint account holder must be an AI, and (ii) all joint account holders must opt-in to be treated as AIs in respect of that joint account. If the AI joint account holder ceases to be eligible as an AI, or any joint account holder ceases to opt-in to be treated as an AI, the non-AI account holder will also cease to be eligible to opt-in for AI status in respect of that joint account.
Please note that the opt-in is effective only for the relevant joint account which meets the above criteria and not other accounts.

The requirement for the entire share capital of the corporation to be owned by AIs may be applied at either the immediate shareholder level or at the ultimate owner level. For example, a corporation would be eligible as an AI if all its immediate shareholders are AIs. If one of the immediate shareholders, which is a corporation, does not meet the $10 million net assets threshold for corporate AIs, but the ultimate shareholder of this immediate shareholder is an AI, the client can still qualify as an AI.
In the case of shareholders which are corporations themselves, they would be considered as AIs either because the corporation has S$10 million net assets or is owned by the AIs themselves.
