As a Versa Cash/-i user, it’s important to understand how your money grows. Did you know that you do not earn returns from the monthly payouts? You earn whenever the unit price increases, which is almost every day! We break it down for you here:
The Low-Risk Investment Funds behind Versa Cash and Versa Cash-i
Behind each of our savings products – Versa Cash and Versa Cash-i – is a low-risk savings fund that pools investors’ money together. When you make a Cash In to either Versa Cash or Versa Cash-i, units are automatically purchased from the respective funds.
Reinvesting for More Returns
Once your Cash In is reflected in your Versa account balance, you’ll start earning returns. You earn returns whenever the unit price of the fund increases, which is almost daily and it is reflected in your balance. So, if your balance goes up, it means you’re earning! Here’s an example:
You don’t earn from the monthly payouts. The payouts are actually reinvestment of your units, helping you earn more overtime. Hence, “Payout” will be changed to “Reinvestment”.
Reinvestment period occurs on every 4th Wednesday of each month. During this period, the fund managers will take a portion of your earnings to reinvest back into the fund to generate higher earnings in the future. This causes a temporary drop in the unit price and your available balance. If you cash out during this time, you can only withdraw the amount shown as your “Available balance”.
Fret not! Once the process is complete within 2 business days, the difference will be returned back to you in units as “Reinvestment” in the transaction history.
Please note that monthly reinvestment is only applicable to Versa Cash.
