here's my experience with Grow :
Wed
- used referral to sign up
- have to wait around 10-15 mins for policy to be confirmed on email
- paid initial 1K premium at around 1pm
(terms say policy accepted before 12 noon wld have same day fund prices - dont know how true)
- both referee n referrer got $30 each within 5 mins of payment
- payment accepted but portfolio value not updated ie shows $0
Thurs
- portfolio value still not updated ie shows $0
- status says something like "processing fund request" "It takes 2 to 4 business days to process your fund order"
Fri
- 10am: Portfolio Value finally shows as 999.XX (small loss)
- topped up $100 thinking can withdraw (min 1k to withdraw), but Mistake !
- still unable to Withdraw (the Withdraw option is still greyed out - not sure is it bcos value is less than 1k or the fund purchase not yet completed)
- the Portfolio Status shows various stages of each fund, from "Placed", "Completed" "Authorised" but have no idea what each means
- it seems the initial 1K not finished processing yet !?
Sat/Sun
- value updated a couple of times, from 1100.XX (small gain, incl top up) to 1099.XX (small loss) BUT still unable to withdraw
- now my $100 top up has to wait 2-4 days to complete fund buying process !
** for those thinking of signing up, be very patient n wait for the initial 1k premium to be completely allocated ... I think the status would show up as "Active" on the front page (rather than "In Progress")
** do it early morning, to cut 1 day of waiting time ?
** not sure if Portfolio Value is below 1K, whether the "Withdraw" button remains greyed out. If so, cannot be certain when actually the 1k is fully allocated & withdrawal is possible
** as the min withdraw value is 1k, I am not sure if the Top Up can be withdrawn on the same day without it having to be allocated first
** some blogged about withdrawal briefly, which give impression of straight forward process ...but devil is in the details
** given the above, I think only worthwhile to do this if can capture both $30 ... if cannot, then perhaps the above can set your expectations
... will update / revise next week when I am finally able to withdraw
