Why transfer your unit trusts / mutual funds to Endowus Fund Smart?

Endowus Fund Smart is a fund platform that boasts over 400 best-in-class funds that have been curated by the Investment Office, focusing on only the top-tier fund strategies by world-class asset managers. 

Save up to 50% or more on fees

Aside from the high quality of funds that are represented, funds on Endowus Fund Smart are more cost efficient than those on other platforms. This is achieved via these two methods:

1. The Endowus team has secured  access to institutional share class on our funds (wholesale prices), as compared to other platforms where you typically access retail share class only; 
2. We provide 100% Cashback on trailer fees, so you pay only an all-in-one Endowus Fee with no added sales charges or transaction fees.

Lowering fees directly improves investment outcomes, especially over a longer duration, and these fee savings have amounted to 50% or more of the fund-level fees in many instances. 

If you’re looking to lower the overall cost of your investment portfolio and consolidate your holdings on one platform, you may want to consider transferring your existing unit trust investments to Endowus. 

World-class fund managers at your fingertips

You may save hundreds to thousands of dollars, capitalising on our 100% Cashback on trailer fees from a large range of over 40 top-tier fund managers like PIMCO, Allianz, JPMorgan Asset Management, Schroders, Fullerton, and more. Best of all, this transfer is free of charge, and as there is no buying and selling of funds, you do not risk being out of the market. 

Here are the cost savings you can enjoy on some of the more popular funds: 

These cost savings are computed based on the 100% Cashback on trailer fees, which are paid out on a quarterly basis. 

*Assuming 4%, 7%, and 6% returns per year based on the 10-year annualised returns of each fund as of June 2023, Endowus Access Fee (0.3% p.a.), and comparing the respective fund-level fees at Endowus (after trailer fee Cashback and assuming Cashback is re-invested) and the highest fee charged by a retail fund platform in Singapore.
