Previous $10 deal has expired so posting this new deal. Obviously not as good as getting $10 but you're likely to earn an additional $5 from the increase in the value of your portfolio anyway as opposed to waiting for the next $10 deal, provided that you've deposited enough.

Note that referral codes need to be added to your account after you sign up (within 14 days of sign up). Use the referral randomiser to get a code. You must invest a minimum of $5 to receive the $5 referral.

Guys, before you add your referral code in the system please make sure to have invested at least $5. There’re comments from people in this deal and previous deals saying they didn’t receive the referral credit because the referrer didn’t meet the eligibility criteria. Be considerate and don’t ruin it for others.

No fees on the first $5,000 invested, and 0.1% on balances above $5,000. I'd recommend the universe portfolio, see historical returns. Thanks @pretz

This is genuinely one of the best investment apps out there so I'd encourage you to stay invested instead of immediately withdrawing the money. The returns have been rock solid. Though note that past performance is not indicative of future performance.

Terms and conditions

Mod: This deal never started, the $10 was extended until 21/2 at least, if not 28/2. Terms and conditions states 28/2, but Terms and conditions in the app states 21/2. Start date for this $5 deal updated and previous deal extended.

Referral Links

Referral: random (183)

$10 referral bonus for both referrer and referee

Referee must add a referral code and deposit a minimum of $5 within 14 days of sign up.

(Referrer must have already deposited a minimum of $5 to qualify.)

    I've deposited an average of $500 every month since June 2018, and the return (profit) is about $10k so far.

      In a similar situation - also encouraged all my friends who had zero trading experience and wanted to get started to try the app first. It's interesting to see them get so vocal about losing 23 cents initially, but now they're up hundreds or thousands

    • Elijha on 14/02/2021 - 09:23

      What’s that as a percentage return on investment. 500 /m is what $6k a year invested … minus fees.. you say ‘about 10k’ and let’s call it over 3 years so 3.3k a year growth … so over 50% a year is that what you are saying? Then you have to account for it as a capital gain right? I mean it’s not all free money.

      Just getting my head around this stuff.

      • tajid on 14/02/2021 - 09:52

        It's not capital gain unless you sell it.

        As illustration they are around 50% up YoY on their Universe Portfolio.

        • atlinus on 14/02/2021 - 09:58

          50%+ return shown if you did a lump sum exactly a ue ago.

          Most people think those return are what they actually earn.

          I notify spaceship to provide return for each individual long time ago to avoid confusion.
          Still, not providing actual return for each individual. You have to calculate yourself your actual return if you do a regular top up.

          Cgt is similar to stocks/shares, you hold over 12 months and you get 50% off cgt.

        • scar4ace on 14/02/2021 - 10:10

          So with CGT, does the fund charge a tax on selling or one should report it within the normal annual tax returns? It would be separate to regular income though as different rules apply to CGT right eg 50% less if asset held over 12m?

          If incremental amounts added regularly do we break down the profits incurred for investments added over 12m ago, vs within the 12m , could be a nightmare to start tracking all of this? We would use the index over time to calculate?

          Also as part of KYC/verifications do we supply our TFN to the fund, and they can auto send info to ATO to prefill correct information, make it easier (like bank interest),.or does the ATO solely rely on us to report it correctly.

          • tajid on 14/02/2021 - 10:13
            +1

            @scar4ace: One should report themselves in the tax return.

            Correct. Treat it like any other CGT assets, such as shares.

            Each time you buy in, you will have different unit prices/cost bases. Similar to when one buys shares overtime.

            You add TFN after the account is set up.

            I'm not sure about pre-filling. I believe ATO doesn't pre-fill gains on CGT assets.

            Bank interest is an income = this is a lot easier for prefilling.

      • NeverMissABargain on 15/02/2021 - 00:51

        You will receive an annual statement, known as an Attribution Managed Trust Member Annual (AMMA) statement. This statement will help you, or your accountant if you use one, to complete your tax return. It details the amount of income and taxation attributable to you and the source.

  • 0jay on 14/02/2021 - 00:44

    Anyone know if it’s possible to transfer a Voyager balance into a Spaceship super balance without triggering a CGT event?

    • walshy1009 on 14/02/2021 - 00:47

      I'm afraid you'll have to trigger that CGT event :/

    • neilpatrickharris on 14/02/2021 - 00:48
      +2

      not possible, it will definitely trigger CGT.

      You have to sell all your existing units and then invest that into their super. You can then lodge a notice of intent to claim a deduction to get a tax deduction on your personal tax return since you're contributing after-tax money.

      • 0jay on 14/02/2021 - 01:11

        Thanks.

    • Skinnerr on 14/02/2021 - 02:21

      Did you gain any profit? If yes then yes, you need to CGT it.

      • kehuehue on 14/02/2021 - 02:49

        i was reading about that in at the ATO forums about mining (ethereum)

        they said if you earn less than 10k and use it to buy personal stuff (not business related) then there is no need to report it

        does the same apply here?

            @Korban Dallas: https://community.ato.gov.au/t5/Forum-Archive/Mining-Cryptoc…

            Generally speaking, any capital gains from personal use assets are disregarded if you:

            acquire cryptocurrency (either by purchasing or mining) with the intention to purchase items for personal use
            have capital gains of less than $10,000 for the entire financial year.

            • wangasm on 14/02/2021 - 03:58

              @kehuehue: It is not a personal use asset if the original asset was acquired for investment purposes. When you put money into Spaceship, the only reason you are doing so is for investment purposes so it would definitely not apply here. You could maybe argue that you were only doing it for the referral bonus if you withdraw straight away? (Pointless though)

              In the case of mining if you are spending the crypto on goods and services as soon as it's mined then it could be a personal use asset, otherwise it also isn't. Though I understand mining also has Income Tax implications.

        • atlinus on 14/02/2021 - 10:01

          Read about managed fund not crypto related tax implication.

          Spaceship is a managed fund.

        • blackwalnut on 14/02/2021 - 15:09

          How would they possibly know if your mining ETH or selling it ? I’ve signed up to multiple platforms and no TFN was asked for . Unless you are reporting this yourself ?

          • wangasm on 14/02/2021 - 16:08

            @blackwalnut: ATO gets data from crypto exchanges, so if you are selling on those exchanges they would know and people have been getting notices from the ATO because of this. They don't need your TFN to match you, your name and address would be enough and most exchanges are strict enough to get this information from you for KYC.
            Of course it may be less likely of them having data from international exchanges but you never know?

            @blackwalnut: how do you get it changed to AUD? I use BTCmarkets which is a melbourne based licensed exchange, so i guess it goes through the ATO's radar or whatever

            even banks like WazirX (which get crypto from binance) want you to provide some sort of ID before withdrawing currency

    • abc on 14/02/2021 - 09:39

      It likely would be considered a non concessional contribution if you are employed. Depending on your circumstances you can claim non concessional contributions to super on your tax*

      For the ASX you're still better off, for the DOW you're only slightly worse off. So basically no difference.

    What is the dividend yield like?

    • wangasm on 14/02/2021 - 02:42

      Last year on the Universe portfolio I was paid roughly 0.2-0.3% of my investment balance after 5 months. (Not sure if the period length matters)

      You can also see the distribution amount in their financial reports. It does seem to come roughly to 0.28% if you divide the distribution by the total assets (could be wrong).

    • realpattymoon on 14/02/2021 - 15:09

      It’s a managed fund that skews a little bit US tech-heavy in the Universe portfolio, which typically doesn’t pay dividends. They sell up holdings relatively frequently, so there are some CGT components to the distributions. If you’re after a high-yield fund I’d look elsewhere, but I’m very very happy with it as a growth fund.

      Not sure about the Voyager portfolio, but I think it’s just an index fund.

  • CalmLemons on 14/02/2021 - 02:52

    Correct if I'm wrong, just be aware some of the funds have a huge return, as they started right in the pandemic dip, therefore a 40-60% return in the last 12 months.

      Spaceship was around and performing solidly even before the pandemic. Universe was $0.94 at the start of 2019 and went to $1.28 at the end of 2019.
      Then 2020 just ended up being even better (Now $2.21 for reference)

      • iglot on 14/02/2021 - 20:15

          The pandemic greatly boosted most technology stocks in 2020 for obvious reasons. A large chunk of the Universe portfolio is invested in these technology companies and other high demand companies during the pandemic. And then you have companies like Tesla in its portfolio that went from $100 to $800 in 2020.

          If, like me, you bought at the start of 2020 @ $1.28 and held til now @ $2.21 you would have made a 72.6% profit/ROI, pretty simple.

        Depends which Vanguard fund, but yes, this is higher risk for (hopefully) higher return. I have money in this and also in some Vanguard ETFs.

      • boretentsu on 14/02/2021 - 10:57

        Thanks for the response. Sorry I wasn't clear in my question. It was not around their investment choices and breadth of diversification.

        It was more about the holding company and the risk that goes under vs Vanguard or other more established players.

        For example, I would have no problem plunging life savings into a Vanguard fund and expect to be able to get them back later notwithstanding how much the assets would be worth later.

        Vanguard has been around since the 70s whereas this company appears setup in 2016?

          Spaceship is backed by some big names, including Sequoia (huge venture capital firm) and Grok Ventures (Mike Cannon Brooke's personal investment vehicle). Other backers can be found here.

          At the rate the platform is going and it's favourable performance compared to other apps, I strongly believe it'll get all the support from investors it needs.

          I'm sure they'll look to IPO it somewhere down the track much like Raiz did (except raiz is crap IMO).

  • Ricketytruck on 14/02/2021 - 07:49

    For those who are beginners like me, basically it invests in a portfolio of companies on your behalf. You set it to a weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment and select a portfolio to invest in. I like it because you can click on any company in the portfolio and they explain what the company does, why they like it and what the risks are, you can also see the stocks past performance. I’ve only joined recently so haven’t made huge gains. I’ve made $1.50 from a $9 a week investment started a couple of weeks ago, so I’ve received more $ from the referral bonus but I’ll keep the $ in there and see how it goes.

  • Chazzozz on 14/02/2021 - 08:03

    Not a criticism, just an observation: I find it interesting how each portfolio is targeted at a ‘goal’ of some sort, using ethical investments to achieve that (e.g. Spaceship Earth only invests in companies that have a positive world impact). It would be difficult to keep track of that to ensure your money is not being funnelled in the wrong direction.

    Has anyone spread their investments over multiple funds to hedge against performance? If so, has that strategy worked?

    • boretentsu on 14/02/2021 - 10:53

      Depends if they are audited. There is a very large industry for auditing non-financial information.

    • realpattymoon on 14/02/2021 - 15:13

      They don’t allow investment in multiple funds at this stage (though I guess you could try setting up different accounts and investing in them separately). Hopefully that feature pops up soon.

      No and no. See page 7 of the PDS.

    Is anyone else getting an 'Oops there is an error with your referral code, contact customer support' when trying to add a code to their account?

    I'm within the 14 days of opening my account (opened 4 Feb).

      Codes expire/renew pretty frequently, just try another one.

        I've tried about 5, but will give it another few goes :)

        Edit: On about by 11th code it worked - referral for Lawrence when he meets tbe eligibility criteria.

          Did you already make a deposit? It's possible that messed it up, may have to contact support.
          Nvm: nice work.

    When do you get the referral in your voyager account?

    Why not put half of your life savings into a penny stock instead and either get rich or go home?

      Why don't you give it a try and report back how things go?

      • Mr Bargain Hunter on 14/02/2021 - 10:41

        Sure I’ve dumped half in I’ll let you know how it goes in 1 year since I’m not giving the govt that extra tax 👍

        • kimba88 on 14/02/2021 - 11:12

          Won't you still need to give the government the extra tax once you sell your penny stock - cgt??

          • Mr Bargain Hunter on 14/02/2021 - 11:20

            @kimba88: Full CGT if you sell within 1 year
            You pay 50% of full CGT if you hold longer than 1 year
