      Good idea. Though will need to factor in capital gains tax when selling out. You will need to weigh up whether selling down v pay fees will be your best decision.

      • onlinepred on 01/07/2021 - 09:15

        On these small amounts it's not really a big deal. Unless you are a hardcore investor, it's better to just have good practices first. This app is targeted to new investors anyway. It's more valuable to diversify, and if you are planning on investing more, then it will be cheaper to invest elsewhere too.

              @onlinepred: Not sure I am following you mate, I think what you are saying makes very little sense. Nothing wrong with trading in fractions of securities, if anything it's better because you are investing dollar amounts not some arbitrary number of shares.

                  @onlinepred: Sure - that's why I wouldn't jump into bed with just anyone spruiking their returns. I put the minimum for a referral in and sat on it for a few months, looked at their investments and communication, and the transparency they provided. Being happy with all of that, and aware that active management of a portfolio to get a higher return than what they were offering is time consuming. As a result, I have been happy to go with this as an investment platform.

                        @tajid: Yea that's what I thought, what happens with the funds that are held that are not used to purchase. I.e., security cost $100. Current balance from investors is $50, so no securities are purchased right?

                        • tajid on 01/07/2021 - 12:57

                          @onlinepred: Sorry not following your question.

                          When assets are sold, all of the underlying securities should be all sold together so you should still get paid the market price of your holding even if it's a fraction.

                          They don't just sell your 0.1 fraction, they should sell everyone's.

                          • onlinepred on 01/07/2021 - 13:14

                            @tajid: They can only buy whole securities, although people have a fraction stake in that security. So, if a security cost $100, but given the percentage breakdown allocated to each security, they may not be able to buy a whole security right away, and they will need to wait until there is enough to buy a whole security.

                            Imagine if I laid trees for a community that's run off donations. Trees cost $1000. I cannot buy a tree until my donations reach $1000. 10 people donate $10 each. My total donations is $100. I cannot buy a $1000 tree with $100, therefore all the money will sit with me until I can buy the tree.

                              @onlinepred: I think you are thinking about it too much.

                              When you invest in Spaceship, you get a unit, backed by all the shares they have invested in.

                              When you buy the unit, they will also buy the shares.

                              So yes your portion may be like 0.99 but other investors also have portions. All of these aggregated will leave them with very small discrepancy in the number of not rounded shares.

        Apart from the dip a few months ago where I was down, I'm up 15% now. It's good exposure to the overseas tech stocks.

        • pdtmathieson on 01/07/2021 - 09:31
          +1

          I've had the dips in there and I'm still up 47% for the year or something, which is a pretty phenominal return, admittedly in a really strong share market. The diversity is pretty good though, tech focused as you say but enough exposure elsewhere I reckon.

          • Caped Baldy on 01/07/2021 - 09:33

            @pdtmathieson: Damn 47% is good. I timed it poorly, I put a decent chunk in before the dip. If I waited a week and bought during the dip I might be around those numbers.

            • pdtmathieson on 01/07/2021 - 09:35

              @Caped Baldy: 48.04% is their quoted annual return on the Universe portfolio, I reckon I would actually go higher than that annualised. My thinking was that given the continuing good money environment for share investment, a dip is going to be a blip, so I threw more in on the first positive day after the dip. Simplistic, but better than trying to pick stocks and have to pay brokerage every time.

        Fees are the same until you reach over $5k. Then it’s far cheaper to buy elsewhere. Yea VAS didn’t do great. My etfs did quite well, better than the annualised 24% of spaceship. Like I said, it’s a great intro to understand the market. When I had spaceship it was barely doing 10% annualised. The market has gone up since rona generally in tech which spaceship is focused in.

        • cpho on 01/07/2021 - 09:40
          +6

          Fees are the same until you reach over $5k. Then it’s far cheaper to buy elsewhere.

          It's literally the opposite. There's no fees for your first $5k in spaceship. They only start charging 0.1% on balances over $5k. (ie $5/yr on 10k balance)
          Vanguard (for example) charges a % no matter how much you buy. Plus brokerage. So in terms of cost, unless you have a super low cost ETF like VTS, spaceship is cheaper.

          Congrats on your portfolio's performance, but your anecdotal snapshot can be misleading to others. Your selection of curated ETFs is different to a single fund which spaceship is. For many, this an easy set and forget, low cost way to a diversified portfolio which provides above market returns.

            @cpho: Agree with this - the question is whether you think you will pick stocks or ETFs better than Spaceship will? I have a finance degree and can do all the stock research and COULD pick what I want to invest in, or I could use my time more wisely and put a bit of faith into some professionals who pick stocks well and charge relatively low fees. This will apply to the majority of the population I would think. It also makes the tax piece a lot easier than messing around with CGT on lots of different investments.

            It’s similar to buying/selling foreign currencies with no commission, but we know the fee is hidden into the price. But either way, it’s negligible amount. We save more money on ozbargain website.

        There is a correct coming, as there always is, its always coming. Only short term traders should be worried, long termers should be building a cash reserve to pounce.

        My guess would be similar in terms of rates creeping, due to inflationary concerns, then you will also see a housing issue with the amount of debt we are taking on. ​

        How big will this 'housing crisis' be, i leave it to much smarter people to guesstimate, but it will slow down and pause for a moment or two. The stupid media will drum it up like it is the end of the world when in reality it is a temporary dip as always.

          Important to consider that you would be hard pressed to pick stocks better than professionals. You might get a better result on face value to begin with, but you might not realise the risk or the variability until you hit the long term.

          Even if you get into it and start to understand the underlying assets, it takes a lot of time to stay on top of things. As per another comment from me above, I could probably have a crack at picking stocks, but I don't think I want to invest the time.

            Probably true, although it's also worth pointing out the majority of professional investors managing active funds don't even outperform the market.

            Stock-picking is fun, but chucking a few grand each into ASX200 and international ETFs is a better bet. Putting the majority of your funds in the latter and picking one or two individual stocks you like the look of could be a good way to split the middle.

              @snep: Yep my point exactly - these guys are investing in a broad portfolio which I am saying is pretty much synonymous with "the market". They're not investing in everything, as it's geared towards certain areas, but there is enough stocks in there across industries to roughly reflect the market, without quite just chucking into ETFs.

          This is a good place to start. It is a very cheap way to see what it "feels" like to invest money.

          Day trading is a whole other beast with fees for each investment (at least $10) and a lot more exposure to risk.

      You can see what each portfolio invests in on their website

      There are a few fund options. Universe (growth), Origin (value), Earth (Ethical/Environmental)

    I signed up a week ago and now I am trying to enter my friends code. Is this just entered in the "Enter Referral Code" section as it is talking about $10. A little confused here

    What happen if Spaceship gone bust ? Will our money safe ?

    • nzcoops on 01/07/2021 - 11:23

      You want 50% returns PA and no risk? Are you a bailed out wall street banker?
      Kidding.
      I think the answer to your question is another question, define 'safe'?

      Spaceship is regulated by ASIC and has a AFS license. Institutions and regulations are fairly strong in Australia. I think you're okay to have a little faith in them.

      It's hard hey, as you don't own any of the securities.

    Do we really need to post this at the start of every new month? This isn't even a deal, the referral bonus was reduced this month.

    We don't need to keep posting a referral program at the start of every month, even if we like the product.

    • Charlie Dont Surf on 01/07/2021 - 15:19

      I'm invested with this firm, and I agree. And it's even less of a bargain if the referral bonus is actually reduced!

      The threads are largely about trying to score a referral bonus.

      • JSONBourne on 01/07/2021 - 15:28

        Exactly, not a bargain at all. Otherwise every ongoing referral bonus is a 'deal'

    Signed up in Feb 2021 and the investment dropped by up to 12% at one stage. In the past week it has finally hit the black and I am up 2.5%

    • No ONE on 01/07/2021 - 22:31

      It was fuc*king Barry.

  • GallBall2606 on 01/07/2021 - 12:30

    Spaceship has been great for me. I started a while back in May 2019 for fun, and have been chipping away small amounts. Started with $10/week, and increased it incrementally after it gave me some confidence and I am currently putting in $50/week.

    It's been doing very well, currently up 30% which I find pretty good for an ETF style product. Bear in mind that there are no fees below $5000, but there is a fee of 0.05% a year ($2.5 for a $10,000 portfolio).

    • dust on 01/07/2021 - 13:40

      Something something time in the market.

      • GallBall2606 on 01/07/2021 - 13:45

        yeah definitely, I don't treat this like stocks. It's just a long term investment that slowly but surely comes up.

  • yht on 01/07/2021 - 12:41

    Are you guys investing in all three products ? Is $5000 threshold per product or total in one account ?

    • samyall on 01/07/2021 - 13:19

      I think that you can only pick one currently but they have plans to allow you to invest in multiple in the future. No idea how the threshold will work in that case though.

    • tajid on 01/07/2021 - 14:37

      Threshold is per account. You have to create a new account to invest in another portfolio.

    I've been in spaceship for a little over a month and the performance has been great for me.
