Hello, I'd been investing Stashaway for pass few months and return has been good (2months, 6-7%, 36% risk profile.)
However, I noticed there is a discrepancy btw the return in MYR and USD.
I noticed that if i compare the conversion rate:
Current value, in both USD and MYR, (MYR => USD, the conversion rate is 4.12, which is the normal market conversion rate)
However, if i check the conversion for total returns (MYR => USD, the conversion rate is 3.147) it is much much higher.
So there is a reduced in return in MYR when calculation the total return. I'd msged stashaway and was told it was due to exchange rate. However no matter how u calculate, forex exchange rate for MYR to USD is never lower than 4.0.
So what am I missing here. Stashaway had not given me a proper explaination.
Can you guys check ur total return conversion to see if its the same? or my case is unique?
Mine is at 4.06 (Previously deposit some lump sum when usd to myr was 4.09 hence the lower currency impact)
For the past few months, use to myr has been 4.2x range. So if u deposit a lot during that period then your currency impact will be much larger.
Just continue to DCA as time goes. For long term, it won't really matter much.
