Positive, Negative, NIL are the 3 possible outcomes for investments.
Quoting myself here...

Thanks. I thought Saveplus was more consistent. 25 days of zero seems quite substantial. I wonder if the interest from the savings account will actually beat the performance of this fund

My strategy is to put 1:2 ratio into SavePlus:Income. Gains in SavePlus will hedge any capital lost in PIMCO, and you get fixed income from PIMCO.

For example 20K into SavePlus and 40K into Income.

Just not 100% consistent

If you are referring to the mari bank rates, it will drop to 1.88% on 16 June

So... ya, this MMF still is decent, but do not "use" it as a savings account and dump your entire account in as it still need time to sell and credit back your amount back to you, unless <10k withdrawal

U can try saveplus for 4 wks and calc your returns:
Yield = total return × 13 ÷ capital × 100%
I am very sure savings can't beat saveplus but savings is good for ppl who like to see int everyday.

Kor kor is it x 12 or x 13? hehe
x12 = 2.70%
x13 = 2.90%

Every month 200*+ dividends for Income

1 week has 7 days
4 weeks = 28 days
28 × 12 = 336 days
28 x 13 = 364 days
hehe

Rather than the estimated 3.73%, it is actually $8 worth of saveplus fund for every $10k increment
Cap $8 × 5, 1st 2500 customers.

U need to buy $50k of Mari invest saveplus from your savings acct. Your savings acct balance has no impact on this promo.

Interesting that I've read how saveplus isn't giving returns for weeks? I've been getting returns no issues on par or better than syfe. I've just topped up more with the latest promo that gives 1% extra for a month. With T-bills yields so low thanks to foreign investors fleeing the USD and parking in a safe haven like SG, I've been putting some of my matured t bills into these MMFs for higher yields.

With these kinds of promos, so far so good.

The promo is capped up to 50k anyway. And I believe you can always top up more than 100K anyway. When you sell off you can set the transfer to another bank account.

User can put in 100k max in maribank at any point of time. Interest computed daily and given to you are not within this limit (i think).

The promo only capped at 50K incremental anyways so no point going over that.

Point 4.1 - Promotion Mechanics
The first 2,500 Eligible Customers to complete an Incremental Investment of SGD10,000 to SGD50,000 as detailed in clause 2.9, with Fresh Funds as detailed in clause 2.5, will be entitled to receive SGD8 worth of Bonus Returns in the Fund for every SGD10,000 of Incremental Investment, capped at a maximum reward of SGD40 worth of Bonus Returns per customer. The Incremental Investment will be recognised in multiples of SGD10,000, with any amounts in excess of such multiples disregarded for the purposes of calculating the Promotion reward.

Is there anyway to tell if we are still under the first 2500 applicants eligible for the promo?

Just called their hotline. We'll only be informed after the holding period (within 1 - 2 weeks). I'm not going to fuss too much over it since it's only $40 and recent returns have been better than if I'd put my money in T-Bills.
