Why StashAway Simple™’s projected rate changed

As you may already know, Simple’s returns are closely tied to the prevailing interest rates in the market. Ever since our previous rate change in March, interest rates have been falling. Although they have edged up slightly in recent weeks, they are still far from pre-March levels.

Central banks are signalling an impending increase in interest rates, but the exact timing is still unknown. So, for now, we’ll be adjusting the projected rate for Simple to 1.0% p.a.

How we calculate StashAway Simple™’s projected rate

The math on the projected rate of returns is quite straightforward: StashAway Simple™ returns are the sum of the amortised yield from the underlying funds, minus fees charged by the fund managers, plus any rebates from the fund managers that are paid out at the end of each quarter.

Your returns with StashAway Simple™ = amortised yield of underlying funds - underlying fund manager’s fees + any rebates from the underlying fund manager

To determine the expected projected rate for Simple, our investment team reviews the past rate and expected rate with the underlying fund managers, and also assesses the economic environment. If there is a change in the projected rate, we’ll notify our clients, just as we’re doing now.
