What kind of outrageous fee did you get ?

I am charged 0.25% percent + nominal fee for investing in equity. Just buy STI ETF using SRS when you dividend level of STI hits 5%.

If you dont invest, then SRS is really a cash investment. 0.25% leh . If you hold for 10 years, assume 4% missed growth, the value of this cash is 40% drop in purchasing power.

In fact SRS is my defacto equity account. I hold it to do equity. I prefer this to using my real free cash float which is unrestricted.
