Review of Endowus Cash Smart Performance 25:25
Performance of Cash Smart since launch has been better than the projected returns made in July 1. More importantly there was no single day of loss (drawdown) for Endowus Cash Smart Core, and for Endowus Cash Smart Enhanced there was 3 days of loss at its worst period of <0.02%.
The higher projected returns is at the back of lowered interest rate. When interest rates fall, price of bonds increase and vice versa. Interest rates falling led to better performance of Endowus Cash Smart. Endowus Cash Smart annualised returns are at 4.08% for Enhanced and 1.50% for Core. Compared to 1.9-2.2% and 1.1% to 1.3% projected at launch, there was an outperformance.
Endowus Cash Smart versus Stashaway Simple and others 31:20
The underlying funds used across Moneyowl WiseSaver, iFast FSM Auto-Sweep, StashAway Simple and Grab AutoInvest is largely the same, as seen by the underlying funds used by the different platforms. The projected gross yield are figures given by the fund managers, as of 30 August.
The all-in cost for using Endowus Cash Smart is lower if not comparable to other platforms because we rebate all trailer fees received from the fund managers. Any trailer fees we receive from the fund managers will be rebated in its entirety.
