      At the time of writing Syfe only provide 2FA via SMS which is widely accepted to be highly insecure and completely unacceptable on a financial account. If they fix this issue in future then perhaps they may be worth considering at that point. Customer service were at least responsive and did acknowledge the issue so perhaps it is something they are working on. Can't really comment on the equity portfolios as I don't use these kind of platforms for equities, but the income portfolio with funds from Pimco is an interesting product to get access to these funds.

      [User Experience] The app is super user friendly and it's really easy to sign up. Onboarding is easy and fast esp if you're Singaporean with Singpass. Customer support responds relatively quickly as well. [Returns Rate] I'm on Cash+, Equity100 and have some shares on Syfe Trade. Cash+ is doing decently. Only been on Equity100 for about 7 months so yet to see any returns on that.

      I have been using SYFE for over 1.5 years. Overll user experience is amazing. Though investment itself is still in the red (due to the bear market...) The app interface is good. I would suggest to allow more interface themes, othe than the darkblue. sometimes wanted to have bright interface. The interactive graphs (of topups and the value etc) are bit too small and should have option to view on full screen. It would be good to provide features of download the transactions in a excel file. This would help to make more track of the investment by myself.

      Thank you Syfe for the new app update. (1) But I hope the dashboard can show the TOTAL portfolio value too (i.e. Managed Portfolio value PLUS Cash+ value). (2) The down arrow (i.e. Loss) can be shown in red colour instead of White colour. Same for up arrow, to show as Green colour. (3) When logging-in, can Syfe allow user to choose to "quick enter" without the need to use fingerprint or key in password.

      Been using Syfe for the Reit. Like the convenience of how the dividend able to be automatically reinvested and how the portfolio will be re-balanced.

      Initially placed some funds in Equity100 back in 2020 when i just started trying out investing. Fastforward to now, portfolio is at a -10% loss. For the past 2 years, I have bought some stocks in both the SG and US market, all of which outperformed the Equity100. Wasn't expecting a super-high yield from this. But for sure i am not expecting a loss considering that the stocks in my portfolio(outside syfe) are doing fairly decent.

      In general the stocks have been down for the last two years.. irrespective of which platform invested, the stock indexes are down. I am yet to see positive in the syfe equity and balance.. though have been regularly topping up for last 1.5 years

      [User Experience] Gains and losses calculation were confusing. [Waiting Time] Signing up is quick, however withdrawal is slow. [Returns Rate] Have been on SYFE for almost 2 years. returns were horribly bad compared to DIY ETFs and reits and where gains were mild but losses during dips were a lot more distinctive. Overal DIY ETFs and DIY reits outperformed syfe by a large margin - and this isn't even inclusive of monthly management fees. Though reits were marketed to be a safe investment approach, I've lost approximately a quarter of principals within this 2 years.

      UI feels good. Might be abit hard to navigate initially but it gets easier. Can try to reduce some clutter. Same day withdrawal for cash + feels good and I can park my spare money there.

      Syfe Cash+

      signup and onboarding was well done. Underlying assets that the fund buys is highly similar to the other robo-advisors. Syfe generally offers a faster withdrawal than the other roboadvisors, but they recently did a bit of a pivot moving away from human advisors.

      [Performance] Portfolio: Cash+ (cash management) Absolute return: estimated +2.50% p.a. Duration: DCAing since Feb 2021 [General] Shifted my funds from StashAway Simple to Syfe's Cash+ for greater potential returns. Of course this portfolio carries a slightly greater risk and there were days when the value dropped significantly (more volatile than I had expected for a cash management account), but the numbers quickly recovered. I am satisfied with the performance so far and will continue to leave my funds in there instead of the bank. Depositing of funds is a very quick process, much faster than other robo-advisors I have used. Great UI/UX as well for their app.
