Frequently asked questions
How much does StashAway Simple™ cost?
StashAway Simple™ doesn’t have any platform or service fees. There is an expense ratio that the underlying fund managers charge, and in the case that they offer any rebates, we will return those rebates back to you when we receive them.
Does my money in StashAway Simple™ get counted in my investment portfolio fees?
Your Simple portfolio’s balance does not get included in your AUM when we calculate your fees for your Investment Portfolios.
Is StashAway Simple™ risky?
This is an investment, so there is a level of risk, but it’s incredibly low. The StashAway Risk Index for StashAway Simple™ is 0.1%. That means you have a 99% chance of not losing more than 0.1% of your AUM in a given year.
The underlying fund in StashAway Simple, AmIncome Fund, is a short to medium-term fixed income fund issued by AmFunds Management Berhad that invests in money market and other fixed income instruments.
Is there an investment requirement to be able to use StashAway Simple™?
No, there aren’t any investment requirements to have a Simple portfolio. You can earn the full rate on any balance you have.
Can I have multiple StashAway Simple™ portfolios?
At this time, you can only have one Simple portfolio.
How is StashAway Simple™ Projected Rate Calculated?
StashAway Simple™’s projected returns are driven by the rate of returns of its underlying investments, net of all expenses, and rebates.
The math on the projected rate of returns is quite straightforward: StashAway Simple™ projected returns are the sum of the amortised yield from the underlying fund, minus fees charged by the underlying fund managers, plus any rebates. AmFunds Management rebates StashAway, and we distribute this full rebate to you when we receive it on a quarterly basis.
We will update the projected rate should the stated projected rate change. In the case that the underlying fund's projected return changes, we may decide to rebate you an additional amount in order to deliver the stated projected rate (in 3 decimals) at the time.
The Total Expense Ratio (TER) for each fund includes the Management Fee charged by the Fund Manager, as well as other expenses incurred by the Fund (e.g., custody, marketing, compliance, shareholder services); as the TER includes fixed costs, it may slightly vary depending on the size of the funds.
This is an investment, and so the returns are not guaranteed. However, with a StashAway Risk Index of 0.1%, this investment is incredibly low-risk.
Could the Simple projected rate ever change?
Yes, depending on economic conditions, your StashAway Simple™’s projected rate may change, as its underlying fund is affected by Malaysia's economic health and trajectory. We will always notify you in the case of a change in the projected rate. The risk level to which your money is exposed will never change within StashAway Simple™.
How is StashAway Simple™ different from other cash management solutions in the market?
The cash management space in Malaysia is dark and messy with restrictions and fine print that make growing cash tedious at best. Ironically, in Asia, where saving is so deeply ingrained in many of its cultures, institutions have structured cash management options to benefit the institutions inherently more than their own clients. For example, a common misconception is that a savings account’s entire balance will earn the advertised rate in full. But, that’s almost never actually what the fine print says: average savings accounts have confusing tiered interest rates that require customers to satisfy multiple criteria, including having to deposit your salary, credit cards, and minimum monthly expenditures. And, fixed deposit accounts have rates that range from 1.9% to 2.1% p.a., but lock-up deposits for up to 12 months.
How is StashAway Simple™ different from a fixed deposit account?
Unlike fixed deposit accounts that require a minimum lock-up period, you can withdraw from StashAway Simple™ at any time.
Does StashAway make any money from my StashAway Simple™ funds?
Nope! And we reimburse to you any rebates we receive from the fund managers.
How long does the Simple deposit and withdrawal process take?
For deposits from your personal bank account, it takes 2 to 3 business days.
For withdrawals to your personal bank account, it takes 3 to 4 business days.
Is StashAway Simple™ Shariah-compliant?
No, the underlying fund is a conventional fund that is not Shariah compliant.
