My issue with this platform is the 2% fee. And sumore a top up fee and buy/sell fee . Sounds like you guys have a lot of ways to make money lol. Gold does not appreciate that fast unless there is a drive , say World War 3.
My basic rule of thumb in investment, it should be at minimum higher then your FD, of even better the KLSE. I mean, on an average, take the sifu's advice on the fundsupermart page and you could get an average between 7-10%.
Assuming the calculation of FD 4.0%, gold needs to appreciate by 6% minimum + 2% buy 2% sell.
I do have gold investment, but I trade constantly , like i may buy and sell within a week.
From a business perspective, I think the concept is great as it will/can lure the lower income group into gold investment or making the entry barrier lower. However for people who has the bullets, I personally do not think this is a good platform or I am not seeing a point here .

QUOTE(robincflee @ Sep 8 2017, 05:32 PM) HelloGold is designed to help people save regularly in the long run - more than a year ideally 3/5 years. For this type of customer, especially with the loan product that we will be introducing into the market and our gifting feature, we believe that HelloGold will work for them HelloGold is not designed to be a trading platform - so for someone like yourself who wants to trade in and out on a weekly basis, HelloGold isn't right for you. My issue is still the fee's involve even for holding gold. Since your a sifu in this industry, whats the projection for gold in 5 years ? Lets see if its worth the numbers. Of course if US N. Korea and US launch a few more rockets, its a good thing for us right ?

QUOTE(robincflee @ Sep 17 2017, 05:36 PM) Gold typically returns around the rate of inflation. In ringgit terms, this works out at 7+% p.a. assuming a 5 year hold Assuming the return is correct, we have a 2% holding, means we are left with 5%. And lets include first year 2% last year 2%. that gives me an average of 4.6% over 5 years .... I guess you do beat FD if the returns hold .
