Is Stashaway Simple false advertising?

Don't know of any money market funds with such high returns. No mention of risks of capital loss. Makes me wary of the company as a whole to be honest...

Stashaway Simple is an underlying fund, comprising theĀ LionGlobal SGD Money Market Fund (MMF) and LionGlobal SGD Enhanced Liquidity Fund (ELF)Ā SGD Class I Acc. The capital will be split (50/50) between the 2 funds.Ā 

Benefits:
-No lock-up period
-Withdraw anytime
-No management fee from Stashaway
-No min. amount to invest
-Suitable to park spare cash
-Access to ELF Institution fund Class fee (lower expense ratio)
-Rebates every quarter

Downside:
-Not insured for the $75,000 deposit by SDIC.
-ELF is relatively new in the market with an inception date from Dec 2018.
-Need more education/awareness from Stashaway about what is a money market fund.

Potential risk:
The projected return (1.9% p.a) is based on Stashaway's calculation which means future returns may fluctuate and adjust to prevailing market rate. Hence, the 1.9% is not always 1.9% over the duration.Ā As of 18 Nov 2019, the return calculation is 1.885% p.a. The 1.9% is just a round up number.

The elephant question: Should I invest????
Yes? Suitable for investors or heavy savers with max out cap limit on their bank deposits. As such, makeĀ use of the spare cash to maximise returns or plan for short term goals (e.gĀ vacation trip or birthday party). Lower risk than the stashaway income portfolio product.

No? Not for high-return seeking investors. Absolutely not fit for day-traders. This is a money market fund. Not aĀ forex exchange. Not covered by SDIC so if the 2 funds were toĀ default, investors loose completely their investment. Low risk but not zero risk.

You must be a troller similar to others. The product is out for barely 3 days and you guys talk as if you were all knowledgeable like Warren Buffet. Unless you guys have actually put money into it and have enough experience with it, I suggest don't simply jump into conclusion about it's capabilities and features.
