next year could happen if inflation in US doesn't tame down. Stock market everywhere will keep tank as a result if no improvement also.

there's a possibility to see 4.5 - 5% interest earned via MMF or FD also. Let's hope we won't go there.

Hi Folks,

I read an article saying that :
KDI Save does not guarantee returns. Even though it invests in low-risk Fixed Deposits & Money Market Instruments, returns are still subjected to market fluctuation.

Does that mean it's still possible that I don't earn lesser interest than what they have advertised ?

For KDI Invest, when I look at the monthly statements, I see there were a lot of fund movement by looking at the opening allocation and closing allocation.

Every month the opening and closing allocation are completely different. e.g, opening they may allocate 40% to VOO , SPY then suddenly the during the closing the VOO and SPY allocation becomes 0%, and the allocation would appeared in a different fund.


Isn't this bad that moving the money from one fund to another fund frequently, since it involves selling/buying + fees?

big fish like KDI invest get charged different commission rates by their brokers unlike small fries like us, don't be too worried over the transaction fees

instead, compare against other robo and see if KDI outperforms those other robos after management fees

Hmm...I may be wrong, I did a quickie on excel and it came out right for all my accounts.
This is the formula I used. It came out exactly the interest accrued for today :

=ROUND((((50000)*(1+3.5%)^(1/365))-(50000))+(((current value-50000)*(1+3%)^(1/365))-(current value-50000)),2)

*side note, don't forget to calculate the "compounding" factor. Put it in another way, that interest amount will only compound to a total of 3.5% after 365 days. The interest accrued is not linear, starts less and increasing ever so slightly.. So daily percentage is not equal.. Its increasing by the day.

In other words, it's not 3.5% p.a. unless left there for 365 days.

P. A. is 3.5%...but how it gets there is stated individually. Example, FD 12 months, they give it to you by then, but for KDI Save, they did say 3% compounded daily. So they are giving it to you, just not in linear form where its divided into 365 interest payments.

If its still confusing, try putting it as simple as possible into excel, drag it down to 365 days, look at each row, and see the effect of compounding.

(unsure, stand to be corrected)..

I certainly hope I'm right, otherwise I'm cheated as well.. Haha..oh well..

Anyway, to each their own..  have fun..

They have calculation example on their faq digitalinvesting.com.my/faq/, go to - general kdi save,
it's under ""what is ear"" , I think that's more accurate & reliable. smile.gif

do you mind quote/provide the link of the article?
not sure about the return of the fund itself
but for now the return you receive is exactly the EAR as advertised (until further notice)
unless they announce revision to the return or they go bust, you will get the advertised return for the time being

currently, most mmf advertise 'projected return' up to
but KDI provides fixed return for now

Yeah, I think it should be fixed regardless of the market fluctuation.

This is the article I read.

1% - 2% FD rate is extremely low in current market.

With such low FD % rate, do you let the your bank auto-renew your FD? sweat.gif

Versa only first RM30k can earn 4%.
KDI save first RM50k can earn 3.5%

https://versa.com.my/versa-cash-3-2-net-ret...rate-promotion/

Best to split out between the two if u have large funds. Remaining funds allocate to which is higher.

Uhmm the short-term rates in Malaysia hasn't climbed that high yet... This is not an SGD or USD product...

Before you get too happy, where is the extra yield coming from... you can figure out yourself. wink.gif

In pursuit of ever-rising rates, one shall never lose sight of the risks accompanied by it, if any.
