Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world. And Asia is building it. 🪷
TSMC makes the chips. Samsung and SK Hynix supply the memory. ASEAN helps assemble, test, and package the semiconductors that bring it all together 🌏

🧺 What is in the fund?
This fund focuses your investment across two parts:
- The Growth Engine (Min 70%): The fund invests at least 70% in companies across Asia (excluding Japan), focusing on businesses with long-term growth potential.
- The Buffer (Max 30%): Up to 30% of the fund can be invested in bonds, money market instruments, or deposits. This gives the fund flexibility to manage risk and liquidity during more volatile market periods.
The fund aims to provide capital appreciation over the mid to long-term period. While the fund isn’t expected to make regular distributions, it may declare incidental income.
🧩 Where does this fit in your Versa account?
- Versa Save is your short-term money: for bills, emergencies, anything you might need in the next few months. It stays safe and ready.
- Versa Asia Growth is your long-term money: for goals years away. Instead of sitting still, it’s invested with the aim to grow over the long term.
Many investors use both: one to cover today, another to build for tomorrow.
