You hereby authorise Grab or the relevant Wallet provider to perform such transfer via a payment method or other funding source that you have indicated in accordance with instructions set out on the Platform. Such authorisations and standing instructions will remain effective and unchanged unless you have raised a request to cancel the Auto Top-Up function in accordance with such method as we may prescribe and such request has been accepted by us.

12.1 Any statements and any other documents sent will be sent to you through a URL link to the Platform which will be provided to you via electronic means to the electronic mail address indicated by you at Account Opening or edited subsequently through the “Change of Email procedure” available on the Platform or directly to such electronic mail address. You agree and acknowledge that such documents will be made available for viewing on the Platform, and therefore, you may download, save or print the documents for your subsequent reference.

12.2 You agree to verify the correctness of all details contained in each statement, or any document sent to you and inform us within 14 days from the date of such document of any discrepancies, omissions, or errors. Upon the expiry of this period, the date of such document shall be conclusive evidence against you (save for manifest or clerical error) without further proof, except as to any alleged errors so notified, that such details are correct, but subject always to our right to amend or delete from time to time, any details wrongly inserted by us as set out in Clause 12.4 of these Terms below.

13. CURRENCY CONVERSION

13.1 We are entitled to convert any sum received by us (whether for credit into your Account or Wallet or in payment of any sum due to us) to the currency of the Account or Wallet or the currency in which payment is to be made, as the case may be, at a rate of exchange determined by us at the relevant time.

13.2 We may, at any time at a rate determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, convert any amount in any Account or Wallet or standing to your credit to any other currency for the purpose of carrying out your Instructions or exercising our rights under these Terms. Exchange rate losses and the costs of conversion shall be borne by you.

14. YOUR MONIES

14.1 We will hold monies received on your account in a client monies account which we hold on trust on behalf of you as well as our other consumers (“consumers account“). This means that your monies in the trust account will be commingled with the monies of our other consumers. The risks of this commingling is that it is administratively and operationally difficult, if not impossible (in view of the constant fluctuation of the aggregate balance in such account), to account separately for each of our consumers’ respective interest due on their respective cash balances in the consumer account as interest will be received on an aggregate basis. This consumer account will be held with a bank, Custodian or other financial institution in accordance with Applicable Laws.

14.2 In the event of insolvency of the bank, Custodian or other financial institution holding the consumer trust account, you understand that you may not be able to fully recover your monies. Further, as your monies are commingled with those of other consumers in the same account, you may potentially be exposed to the losses of other consumers.

14.3 We may, for the purpose of depositing monies received on your account which are denominated in a foreign currency, maintain a consumer account with a Custodian outside Singapore in accordance with Applicable Laws. This Custodian will be appropriately licensed, registered or authorised to conduct banking business in the respective jurisdiction in which the account is maintained. In such case, you understand that the laws and practices relating to trust accounts in the relevant jurisdiction may differ from the laws and practices in Singapore. Such differences mean that your monies may not enjoy the same level of protection as accorded to monies that are held in Singapore. Depending on the jurisdiction, this may affect your ability to recover the funds deposited in the consumer account.

14.4 You acknowledge that where your monies are held with such bank, Custodian, other financial institution and/or otherwise passed on to an Intermediary, as described in Clause 15 of these Terms, the manner in which your monies may be held in different entities may be different.

15. BROKERAGE, CUSTODY AND USE OF INTERMEDIARIES

15.1 We may use or engage a person (including a nominee, agent, broker, custodian, fund manager, market-maker, exchange and/or other third party) (“Intermediary“) to, directly or indirectly:

(a) execute or clear Transactions;

(b) purchase and/or manage Investments; and/or

(c) hold or custodise any of your funds or Assets.

15.2 Provided that we have selected such Intermediary in good faith, you agree we shall have no liability or responsibility for any act, omission, insolvency, negligence, failure, delay or default of the Intermediary. Our Intermediaries may also appoint further custodians, sub-custodians, trustees, registrars, administrators, nominees and/or agents as may be necessary or expedient to provide the relevant services or Investments to us.  You agree that we shall have no liability or responsibility in relation to any actions taken by such persons or these further appointments by our Intermediaries which are beyond our reasonable control.

15.3 You agree that where we use another Intermediary to execute or clear your Transactions, purchase or manage your Investments or hold or custodise your funds or Assets, we may have to accept sole and principal responsibility to the Intermediary for the Investments and/or executed Transaction. Accordingly, you shall indemnify us against any and all action which we deem in good faith necessary to ensure that we will not be in default of our obligation or responsibilities under these Terms. The foregoing indemnity in our favour is in addition to any other right that we may have (whether expressly provided as between us or implied by law) and will continue to apply whether or not you may be in actual or anticipatory default.

15.4 In view of the fact that we may have accepted principal responsibility and/or liability to Intermediaries, you also acknowledge and consent to the fact that there is a risk that such Intermediaries may regard any Investments which we purchase on your behalf, as investments which we purchase for ourselves. This may in some instances result in prejudice to you. For example, there is a risk that the Intermediaries may attempt to use your Investments to satisfy our obligations or obligations of our other consumers. You accept that this is a necessary risk of dealing in such jurisdictions through us.

15.5 You agree that neither us nor our Intermediaries shall provide any margin facility to you in respect of the Investments.

15.6 Without prejudice to any other provision in these Terms, you agree that:

(a) we may, whether directly or indirectly (through Custodians or otherwise), hold Investments purchased for you in an omnibus custody account, aggregated with other Investments of our other consumers, and/or the consumers of these Custodians, and such Investments may not be held in your name. This means that your Investments will be commingled with the assets of our other consumers and/or the consumers of these Custodians. Given such commingling, the Investments may be registered collectively in our name, the name of the Custodian, a sub-custodian and/or any other third party and your entitlements may not be identifiable as separate certificates, titles or electronic records. You agree that if there are any dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds in relation to your Investments resulting from such commingling, we shall have full discretion as to the allotment of such dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds;

(b) In the event of insolvency or default of the Custodian, you understand that you may not be able to fully recover your Investments held in the omnibus custody account. Any shortfall in the Investments may be shared among you and our other consumers and/or the consumers of the Custodians pro rata.  As your Investments are commingled with those of other consumers in the same account, you may potentially be exposed to the losses of other consumers;

(c)  provided that we have selected or engaged such Custodian in good faith, we shall not be liable to you for any and all loss suffered or incurred by you as a result of any act, omission or insolvency of such Custodian;

(d)  where Investments are denominated in a foreign currency, the Investments may be held in an omnibus custody account with an entity which is licensed, registered or authorised to act as a custodian in the country or territory where such Investments are held. In such case, you understand that the laws and practices relating to custody accounts in the relevant jurisdiction may differ from the laws and practices in Singapore. Such differences mean that your Investments may not enjoy the same level of protection as accorded to Investments that are held in Singapore. Depending on the jurisdiction, this may affect your ability to recover the Investments deposited in the custody account; and

(e)   your Investments may be treated as fungible with other Investments in the omnibus custody account and therefore, we are not obliged to deliver any specific Investments to you and may instead sell the Investments at your expense and transfer to your Account the proceeds of such sale (if any).

15.7 You acknowledge that where your Investments are held with different Intermediaries and/or appointees of our Intermediaries, the manner in which your Investments may be held in different entities may be different.

16. CHARGES AND FEES

16.1 The fees payable by you to us for our Services are accessible at our FAQs webpage, as may be amended from time to time (“Fees“). Without prejudice to any other provision in these Terms, we reserve the right to include in the Fees any liabilities, costs and expenses which we incur under these Terms.

16.2 You shall make all payments due under these Terms free and clear of, and without deduction, withholding or set-off on account of, any tax or levy or any other charges present and future.

16.3 You shall be liable for any goods and services tax, value-added tax or any other tax of a similar nature chargeable by law on any payment you are required to make to us. If we are required by law to collect and make payment in respect of such tax, you will indemnify us against such payments.

16.4 We may deduct your Account with the full amount of any Fees payable by you, or any other monies owed by you to us pursuant to any liability of any nature arising in respect of the Account or otherwise. For this purpose, we may withdraw and collect uninvested cash in your Account (if any) and/or sell your Assets and collect the proceeds from such sale.

17. CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS

17.1 We may enter into agreements with Intermediaries, deal in products and investments that you are invested in, or provide services to others whose interest may conflict or compete with yours, or otherwise be placed in a position of conflict.  You agree that there may be circumstances when we or our Affiliates act in such capacities or are in such positions of conflicts where we may be remunerated, make profit, receive fees, commissions, rebates, discounts and/or other benefits.

  • The price of and value of investments and any distributions may fluctuate significantly.
  • You may get back less than you originally invested. You may lose your entire investment.
  • Market conditions may limit our ability to trade and/or adversely affect the price of an underlying investment or asset.
  • Investments in markets outside of Singapore may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

Each potential investor must determine the suitability of an investment with us in light of their own circumstances. Prior to making an investment decision, an investor should fully understand the risks and merits of such investment and to make their own determinations that such investment is suitable with the acknowledgement that they are able to assume the risk.

There are general risks to which all asset classes, financial instruments and financial services are exposed to and which may lead to a financial loss. Some of these risks are:

  • Market risk: Economic developments move with cyclical fluctuations. Cyclical downturns can reduce the value of your investment substantially. The underlying investments may be subject to considerable fluctuations in value and other risks inherent in investing in capital markets products. Specific market movements of the underlying instruments cannot be predicted with absolute certainty and investors may be exposed to price volatility in the relevant market. Investors may sustain substantial losses if the market conditions move against expectations.
  • Interest rate risk: There is a potential for investment losses that result from a change in interest rates. If interest rates rise, for instance, the value of a bond or fixed income investment will decline, and vice versa.
    Inflation risk: Money is subject to a decrease in value due to inflation. If your investments gain 3% in a year and the cost of living goes up by 2% you are left with a real return of only 1%.
  • Country risk: The government of a country may exert influence on capital movements and the transferability of its currency. This may prevent debtors from fulfilling their obligations. If your investment includes assets affected by this risk, you might suffer a loss.
  • Currency risk: This is a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Your investment might decrease in value even though the underlying asset has not decreased in value.
    Regulatory and Legal Risk: Returns on all and particularly new investments are at risk from regulatory or legal actions and changes, which can, among other issues, alter the value and profit potential of an investment. A country or jurisdiction may from time to time enact new laws or regulations which may have an adverse effect on an investment, which could include a previously acceptable investment becoming illegal.
  • Tax risk: Gains generated by investments in capital markets are subject to taxes and/or other fiscal liabilities. Changes of the law might lead to an unexpected value decrease of your investment.
  • Liquidity risk: Some investments may not be liquid. This means they may not be sold easily on an ad hoc basis or sold only with reduction in value. If these investments must be sold on short notice, you might suffer a loss.
  • Cost risk: Banks, credit institutions and financial services companies charge various costs which may substantially reduce the performance of your investment over time.
  • No verification of underlying offer documents: We have not separately verified the information relating to the underlying investments contained in the documents issued by the issuer, including offering documents. No representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and no responsibility is accepted for any direct, indirect, or consequential losses arising from its use by us. We have no obligation or duty to update any of the offering or marketing documents in relation to the underlying investments, which only reflect the judgment of the relevant entity as of the date of such material. All information may be subject to change without notice and the provision of information in relation to the underlying investments may cease at any time without reason or notice.
  • Deposit insurance: Investment products are not deposits and are not subject to the provisions of the Deposit Insurance and Policy Owners’ Protection Schemes Act (Cap. 77, nor eligible for deposit insurance coverage under the Deposit Insurance Scheme.
  • Conflicts of interests risks: There may be various actual or potential conflicts of interests between us, our group entities or other connected persons and you, as a result of various investment and commercial business or our other activities. We, our group entities or other connected persons shall not be liable to account or specifically disclose any profit, charge or remuneration made or received in relation to any transaction.
  • Compounding of risks: These investments involve various risks and should only be made after assessing all relevant factors. More than one risk factor may have a simultaneous effect with regard to the underlying investments such that the effect of a particular risk factor may not be predictable. In addition, more than one risk factor may have a compounding effect, which may not be predictable. No assurance can be given as to the effect that any combination of risk factors may have on the value of the underlying investments.
  • Security risks: You acknowledge that the Internet is not a secure network and that communications transmitted over the Internet may be accessed by unauthorized or unintended third parties. While we will take such measures to protect confidential consumer information and to defend against cybersecurity risks, as cyber criminals become more sophisticated, we are unable to detect and prevent all such potential risks. We request that you ensure that you take measures to guard against such risks, e.g. ensuring that you do not keep your password and log in details safe and not to fall prey to phishing attacks by clicking on suspicious links. E-mails on rare occasions may fail to transmit properly. Regardless of whether you receives an email notification, you agree to check our Platform or the Grab App regularly for up-to-date information and to avoid missing time-sensitive information.
  • Investment tools risks: You understand that we use investment tools, including algorithmic tools, to manage your portfolio. These investment tools do not guarantee performance and we do not guarantee or provide any warranty of any kind, express or implied, about the projections or recommendations generated by such investment tools. For the avoidance of doubt, we make no representation about the likelihood or probability that any actual or hypothetical investment will in fact achieve a particular outcome or perform in a predictable manner. Any historical return information on our Platform does not represent the actual performance of a specific investor’s account and may not reflect all factors that could impact performance for an individual investor.
  • Third party sources risks: The return, composite, and performance information shown on the Platform uses or includes information compiled from third-party sources, including independent market quotations and index information. We believe that the third-party information comes from reliable sources, but we do not guarantee its accuracy.

Our principal service is discretionary investment management where your portfolio is managed in accordance with certain metrics, including the risk level, your time horizon, the amounts invested, the time and frequency at which you choose to invest. This means that we have discretion over both asset allocation and the selection of underlying investments or assets held in your portfolio. Your portfolio and its performance may be specific to you, even when compared to a portfolio with a broadly similar mandate. We have a core investment and asset allocation process and regularly monitor portfolios to ensure they behave within an acceptable range of risk. Consumer performance can differ from the average return depending on how frequently you invest, the amounts invested, your risk level and the period of investment.

There are additional risks that may arise in respect of specific asset classes.

Mutual Funds

We invest primarily in mutual funds which may be open-ended or closed-end funds. Open-ended funds are a collective investment scheme which can issue and redeem shares at any time. It contrasts with a closed-end fund, which typically issues all available shares at the launch of the fund, with such shares usually only being tradable between investors thereafter.

A mutual fund is made up of a pool of money from investment which an asset management company invests into stocks, bonds or other financial assets. The collective financial strength of these investors makes it possible to make investments across sectors, industries and markets and offers the benefit of greater diversification and professional investment expertise.

However, investments in mutual funds are associated with the following specific risks in addition to the general risks discussed above:

  • Underlying price / valuations risk: The price of mutual funds will fluctuate, reflecting changes in the value of the underlying assets or derivatives, so the value of your investment may increase or decrease. If a large amount of derivatives are used, the risk profile of the mutual funds may differ significantly. We may rely, without independent investigation, upon pricing information and valuations furnished by third parties, including pricing services and independent brokers/dealers. Their accuracy depends on these parties’ methodologies, due diligence and timely response to changing conditions, and we have no control over or responsibility for failures in such valuations.
  • Counterparty risk: If the counterparty of a derivative contract gets into distress, the value of a mutual fund investment might be affected. Providers may take measures such as using multiple counterparties or holding collateral, so if one counterparty defaults they can draw the collateral to pay returns to investors.
  • Currency risk: Your portfolio will be valued in SGD. If a mutual fund’s underlying investments are in a currency different to the denominated currency of the mutual fund, there will be embedded foreign exchange risk meaning that, for example, even if the value of your mutual fund goes up, a decline in the foreign currency can reduce your returns when they are exchanged back into SGD.
  • Credit risk:  The risk that the issuer of a bond or other security won’t have enough money to make its interest payments or to redeem the bonds for face value when they are due. Securities with a higher risk of default tend to pay higher returns.
  • Investment management risk: Investment performance depends on the portfolio management team and the team’s investment strategies. If the investment strategies do not perform as expected, if opportunities to implement those strategies do not arise, or if the team does not implement its investment strategies successfully, an investment portfolio may underperform or suffer significant losses.
  • Hedging risk: Hedging is a strategy for reducing exposure to investment risk. An investor can hedge the risk of one investment by taking an offsetting position in another investment. The values of the offsetting investments should be inversely correlated.
  • Redemption gate risk: A redemption gate is a measure that may be incorporated by a fund manager under certain circumstances that limits redemption in a fund for a short period of time. Its purpose is to prevent a run on a fund in times of market stress.
  • Market risks: Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate or rebalance positions. For example, during volatile markets or situations where trading under the rules of the relevant stock exchange is suspended, restricted or otherwise impaired. During such times, the underlying fund may be unable to dispose of certain assets due to thin trading or a lack of market or buyers. Stop-loss orders may not necessarily limit the fund’s loss to intended amounts as market conditions may make it impossible to execute such order at an ideal price. Such circumstances may force the fund to dispose of assets at reduced prices, thereby adversely affecting the fund’s performance. There may be difficulty to value investments with any degree of accuracy or certainty in such conditions as dumping of securities in the market could deflate prices. Further if the fund incurs substantial trading losses, the need for liquidity could rise sharply at the same time that access to liquidity is impaired. In a market downturn the fund’s counterparties’ financial conditions could be weakened thereby increasing the fund’s credit risk exposure to them.
  • Third party intermediaries risks: Transactions will be conducted through or with brokers, clearing houses, asset managers, market counterparties and other agents. The assets of the underlying funds are held by custodians or sub-custodians appointed in various jurisdictions. The underlying funds will be subject to the risk of the inability of any such counterparty or custodian to perform its obligations, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes. An underlying fund may invest in instruments such as notes, bonds or warrants, the performance of which is linked to a market or investment. Such instruments are issued by a range of counterparties and through its investment, the fund will be exposed to the counterparty (or credit) risk of the issuer in addition to the investment exposure it seeks. It is possible that the brokers, dealers or asset managers engaged for the underlying fund may encounter financial difficulties that may impair the operational capabilities of the underlying fund. If the broker, dealer or asset manager fails or becomes insolvent, there is a risk that the underlying fund’s orders may not be transmitted or executed, instructions from the asset manager may not be provided to the broker or dealer and its outstanding trades made through the broker or dealer may not settle. This may then affect the performance of the underlying fund and cause you to lose money on your investment.
  • Institutional investors risk: An underlying fund may accept subscriptions from institutional investors and such subscriptions may constitute a large portion of the total investments in the underlying fund. While these institutional investors will not have any control over the investment decisions for the fund the actions of such investors may have a material effect on the relevant underlying fund. For example, substantial redemption or realisation of interest in the fund by an institutional investor over a short period of time may necessitate the liquidation of the underlying fund’s relevant assets at a time and in a many which may adversely affect the value of the underlying fund’s assets.

3. AUTOMATIC TRANSFERS

3.1 When you select AutoInvest under the “Invest” tile (managed by GrabInvest) on the Grab App, you may indicate your preferred Transfer Amount to be transferred to and invested in AutoInvest. An AutoInvest calculator may be provided to you that will calculate your potential investment amounts from investing in AutoInvest based on the Transfer Amount and the estimated frequency of your Eligible Grab Transactions (which shall be estimated based on the frequency of payments you have made through your Grab App over a prescribed period or the frequency of payments made by users on the Grab Platform). Once you have invested in AutoInvest, we may offer you other features such as the ability to view the Portfolio Value of your portfolio and indicative returns in relation to your AutoInvest investment plan. You understand and agree that any such calculations, estimates, projections and indicative returns are for illustration purposes only. They are not representations and shall not bind us. Any quotations, comments, analysis, estimates, forecasts, opinions or other similar information provided are limited to certain assumptions and parameters. Therefore, they may be subject to change without notice and we give no warranty as to its accuracy, completeness or reliability.

3.2 Should you wish to proceed to invest in AutoInvest, you may click “Get Started” on the AutoInvest page. By clicking “Get Started” and/or electing to invest in AutoInvest, you authorise and provide us with a standing instruction to automatically transfer the Transfer Amount via the Grab App from your GrabPay Wallet to be invested with us in AutoInvest each and every time you carry out an Eligible Grab Transaction via the Grab App (“Automatic Transfers“) without further reference to you.

3.3 Subject to Clause 3.5 of this Schedule, such standing instruction to carry out such Automatic Transfers as described in Clause 3.2 of this Schedule will remain effective and unchanged unless we have accepted your cancellation request in accordance with this Clause 3.4 of this Schedule. Barring the foregoing, we will proceed with the Automatic Transfer(s) without further confirmation or acknowledgement from you and such Automatic Transfer(s). Your instructions in relation to any prior Automatic Transfers (if any) are irrevocable.

3.4 A cancellation request may be made in accordance with the following terms:

(a) you may request a cancellation of your Automatic Transfer in accordance with the method as prescribed on the Platform where the status of the Automatic Transfer is indicated on the Platform as “In Queue”;

(b) your cancellation request shall only be effective upon our confirmation to you through the Platform that such cancellation has been accepted and upon such terms as indicated in our confirmation to you (if any);

(c) where your cancellation request has been accepted, we will refund the Transfer Amount to your GrabPay Wallet. You agree and acknowledge that we will not refund the Transfer Amount via any other payment methods;

(d) after the status of your Automatic Transfer has changed and no longer indicates “In Queue”, your instruction to carry out the relevant Automatic Transfer is irrevocable. You agree and acknowledge that in such case, you can no longer cancel your Automatic Transfer; and

(e) our acceptance of your cancellation request in relation to an Automatic Transfer as described in this Clause 3.2 shall not affect any other scheduled Automatic Transfers. If you wish to deactivate the Automatic Transfers, you may do so in accordance with Clause 3.5 of this Schedule.

3.5 You may amend the Transfer Amount, deactivate the Automatic Transfers and/or close, deactivate or terminate your investment in AutoInvest in accordance with such instructions as may be set out on the Grab App or Platform. Any such amendments, deactivation or closure to your AutoInvest plan shall only be effective after you have received confirmation from the Platform or the Grab App that such amendment has been agreed to and confirmed by us. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any amendments to the Transfer Amount, shall only be effective in respect of Eligible Grab Transactions and Automatic Transfers occurring after you receive confirmation from the Platform or Grab App that such amendment has been agreed to and confirmed by us and any Automatic Transfers prior to such agreement or confirmation shall continue unaffected by your requested amendment.

3.6 It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient balance in your Wallet at all times to enable the Automatic Transfers to occur. If there is insufficient balance in your Wallet, both your Automatic Transfer and your Eligible Grab Transaction may be unsuccessful. The Automatic Transfer and Eligible Grab Transaction will be treated as separate transactions and where there is insufficient balance in your Wallet, priority will be given to the Eligible Grab Transaction provided that there are sufficient funds available for the Eligible Grab Transaction to proceed.

(a) If insufficient funds are available in the Wallet for the Eligible Grab Transaction, both the Eligible Grab Transaction and Automatic Transfer will fail.

(b) If there are sufficient funds available in the Wallet for the Eligible Grab Transaction but not for the Automatic Transfer, the Eligible Grab Transaction will proceed but the Automatic Transfer will fail. Therefore, you may fail to make an Automatic Transfer even if your Eligible Grab Transaction is successful.

(c) In the event of a failure of an Automatic Transfer, you may reinitiate the Automatic Transfer in accordance with such instructions as may be set out on the Grab App or Platform. For such reinitiated Automatic Transfers, you would be required to agree and acknowledge that your investment in AutoInvest would only be made once the reinitiated Automatic Transfer is successful.

3.7 Failure in the Automatic Transfer may lead to a disruption in your AutoInvest plan and/or failed Transactions. This may mean that you may not achieve the indicative returns projected. You understand and agree that we will not be responsible or liable in any way for any such consequences of any nature whatsoever and you agree not to take any action or to release us from any claims whatsoever in relation to any such consequences.

4.INVESTING IN UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS

4.1 The status of your Automatic Transfer will change to “Invested” on the Platform once we have made the underlying Investments. Prior to the change of the status of your Automatic Transfer to “Invested” on the Platform, you agree that your request to make an investment is not confirmed.

4.2 You agree and acknowledge that we have sole and absolute discretion in selecting the underlying Investments for your AutoInvest plan. While we may inform you of the underlying funds or Investments your funds have been invested in, including your holdings in the relevant underlying funds or Investments, your Investment is managed as a portfolio. You are unable to select which underlying funds or Investments your funds are invested in or select which underlying funds or Investments you wish to subscribe to or redeem or change the allocation in respect of such fund or Investment. You agree and authorise us to add to, substitute, replace and/or invest in such other funds or Investments and to rebalance the portfolio, including adjusting the allocations in the underlying funds or Investments, as we may deem fit in our sole and absolute discretion from time to time.

4.3 For the avoidance of doubt, we may rebalance your portfolio and readjust the allocation of your assets in the underlying funds or Investments at our sole and absolute discretion. You are not required to instruct us, confirm or cancel any rebalancing.

5. WITHDRAWALS

5.1 You may withdraw or exit your investments with us at any time in accordance with such procedures as we may implement via the Platform from time to time, including by raising a withdrawal request. When you make a withdrawal request, you will be able to indicate the amount you wish to withdraw (“Withdrawal Sum“). The Withdrawal Sum must be equal to or less than the Available Withdrawal Amount when you raise the withdrawal request and at least S$1.00 or above.

5.2 Where you raise a withdrawal request, you authorise us to redeem, sell or liquidate your underlying Investments of your AutoInvest plan to raise the Withdrawal Sum, subject to Clause 5.3 of this Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, the exact amount or units of the underlying Investments which shall be redeemed, sold or liquidated shall be determined in our sole and absolute discretion based on the market price in order to provide you with the Withdrawal Sum.

5.3 Where the Withdrawal Sum is 90% or more of the Available Withdrawal Amount or if following the withdrawal, the Available Withdrawal Amount will be less than S$1.00, estimated based on the last available market price from the date the withdrawal request is made, a full withdrawal will be triggered such that we will redeem, sell or liquidate all your underlying Investments and withdraw 100% of your AutoInvest plan. For such full withdrawal, you authorise us to redeem, sell or liquidate all your underlying Investments in your AutoInvest plan at the next available market price after the redemption orders are sent to the Intermediaries. As the market price will only be published after we place orders to redeem, sell or liquidate all your underlying Investments, you agree that the final amount you may receive from the proceeds of such redemption, sale or liquidation may be more or less than the Available Withdrawal Amount, as indicated when you make the withdrawal request or otherwise. You agree, acknowledge and understand that under no circumstances shall we be liable to you should the proceeds received be less than the Available Withdrawal Amount, as indicated when you make the withdrawal request or otherwise.

5.4 You may cancel a withdrawal request where the status of this request is indicated on the Platform as “In Queue”. Such cancellation request must be made in accordance with such method as prescribed on the Platform and shall be effective once accepted by us or at such other time as we may indicated. Barring the foregoing, no cancellation may be made. For the avoidance of doubt, when the status of the withdrawal request has changed and is no longer “In Queue”, you can no longer cancel such withdrawal request and such withdrawal request shall be irrevocable.

5.5 Once we receive proceeds of the sale of your underlying Investments, the proceeds of such sale will be credited into your GrabPay Wallet. You agree and acknowledge that transfer to your GrabPay Wallet is the only means through which you can receive your proceeds from withdrawal of your investments in AutoInvest.

5.6 As GrabPay Wallet is a wallet holding electronic moneys that is subject to regulatory requirements, GrabPay Wallet has currently set a maximum spending limit per calendar year and a maximum load limit as set out in the GrabPay Terms of Service: Payment and Rewards (see https://www.grab.com/sg/terms-policies/payment-rewards/ for more information on such limits). You agree and understand that because the withdrawal of proceeds of your AutoInvest will only be credited to your GrabPay Wallet, such withdrawal will be subject to the thresholds and limits of the GrabPay Wallet, including but not limited to withdrawals being subject to the applicable maximum load limit and not being able to spend or utilise the amounts in the GrabPay Wallet until the next calendar year where the applicable maximum spending limit per calendar year has been exceeded, and such other conditions as may be required under Applicable Laws or imposed by the issuer or GrabPay Wallet from time to time.

GrabFood delivery-partner, Thailand

COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.

As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.

Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
