already cashed out . I lost money due to fee & forex. Investment did not bring home enough money to offset.
Anyway they are start up mode , they are very concern people closing acocunt.

I got a call from them asking why i closed. I said i am an idiot in investing . I jumped onto these platform was hoping the app help me invest  but it does not bring home the money.

They said it was a wrong time to close the account because our ringgit strengthen against the US . Instead i should cash-in now . But then i told them , FD is guaranteed return although is low .

I wouldn't say good or not good. I am sure there is more technical knowledge going into these type of platform.
However for someone that have zero knowledge on investing , it boils down to simple maths.

If i put RM500 , i should get more than RM500 at the end of each period
take FD for example ; RM500 at avg of 3% per annum ; and the end of of the 4 months ; should have RM505-ish
This is guaranteed income.

for MyTHEO , during my 4 months .. i see as high as RM520 . but if you cash out the wrong time and after minus all the fee and forex. I probably worse off at the end of 4 months which was what happened to me.
With MyTHEO , many other consideration before you can cash out with a profit.

oh another key point for MyTHEO according to the guy on the phone call was ..... low starting value. RM100 you can invest already while FD is much higher.

agreed. not worth the extra risk for the lower return
