*Assumes 7% p.a. gross return before fees, with $1,000 monthly contributions over 30 years starting from $100,000. Endowus figure uses a blended 0.45% access fee. Traditional FA figure uses 1.75% p.a. total annual cost, consistent with findings from the Morningstar Global Investor Experience Study, which found Singapore investors face high embedded distribution costs. DIY figure applies a 1% p.a. behavioral return drag, based on DALBAR's Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior, which found the average equity fund investor underperformed the market by over 8% in 2024 alone, with a persistent multi-decade gap driven by emotional decision-making. Actual returns will vary. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This illustration is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Why fees matter more than you think
Markets are unpredictable.
Your fees aren't.
Your fees aren't.
Decades of research show no one can predict the market. But what you can control is the fees you pay. The less you pay, the more you keep.
βThat's why Endowus is relentless about low fees, zero hidden charges, and returning every trailer fee back to you.

Why most platforms have hidden fees
β and ours donβt.
Most platforms claim a 0% platform fee, but they take a cut of what fund managers pay them to distribute their products, termed trailer fees. This cut comes out of your returns, and over time, eats into your returns.

Some platforms charge no platform fee but earn hidden revenue via trailer fees, commissions, and sales charges. These create conflicts of interest.
Always 0% with Endowus
0% Sales Charge, Forever.
Sales charges are typically levied each time clients invest. They incentivise front liners to push more products, or churn portfolios as a result.
At Endowus, there is 0% sales charge.

FAQ
How is the Endowus Fee calculated?
Endowus Fee is charged on a quarterly basis based on your daily average total assets under advice (AUA) for the period of the fee, depending on your portfolio type (CPF, SRS, Cash, Cash Smart, Fund Smart - Single Fund).
How is the Endowus Fee charged?
Cash investments:
IfΒ you have an available cash balance in your UOB Kay Hian trust account, we will use it to pay for the Endowus Fee. Any remaining payable Endowus Fee after deducting from your cash balance will be redeemed from your investment holdings, so that your Access Fee can be paid seamlessly.
Β
SRS/CPF investments:
Endowus Fee will be deducted directly by redeeming from your investment holdings, so that your Endowus Fee can be paid seamlessly.
What are fund-level fees charged by the Fund Managers?
Fund-level fee, or the Total Expense Ratio (TER)
This is charged by the fund manager (i.e. Dimensional, PIMCO, etc.)Β for their services in managing and investing the funds your purchase. This Fee is embedded into the Fundβs daily Net Asset Value (NAV) or price.
β
For example, if a Fundβs NAV (price)Β is $20, this has already taken into account the Fund-Level Fee, or ongoing costs of operating the Fund. Performance figures of the Funds are already net of the fund-level fees.Β
β
The fund-Level fee (TER)Β may include investment management fees, trustee fees, and audit fees. We refer to the Fund-Level Fee that is all-inclusive total fees charged, rather than only the Management Fee which is only a part of the TER, and often quoted by other platforms.
β
100%Β Cashback on trailer fees with Endowus

For cash investments, we will transfer the trailer fee directly to your UOB Kay Hian trust account.

How does Endowus keep fund-level fees low?
