ShopeePay has launched ShopeePay Invest, a new feature that allows Malaysians to start investing in unit trust funds directly through the Shopee app. The feature is distributed by iFAST Capital Sdn. Bhd., a licensed distributor regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC).
With a starting amount as low as RM10, ShopeePay Invest offers an entry point into unit trust investments through a platform many Malaysians already use.
Investing Made Simple Through the Shopee App
ShopeePay Invest enables individuals to browse, buy, and manage their unit trust investments within the Shopee app. By integrating investment services into a familiar digital wallet, it brings convenience to those who want to explore investing alongside their daily spending.
The feature provides access to a range of funds managed by established asset management companies in Malaysia, including both conventional and Shariah-compliant options. There is no maximum investment cap, allowing participants to begin with smaller amounts and build their investments over time.
Understanding the Risks
As with all unit trust products, the value of investments may fluctuate and returns are not guaranteed. ShopeePay Invest is not protected by Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM), as unit trusts are not bank deposits or savings products.
Those interested in investing should review the relevant fund prospectus, disclosure documents, and product highlights sheet before making any decisions. These documents outline key information on performance, fees, and associated risks.
Who Can Invest
ShopeePay Invest is currently open to Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above with a verified ShopeePay account. It is not available for Employees Provident Fund (EPF) or Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) investments.
A Step Into Digital Investments
ShopeePay Invest expands Shopee’s financial ecosystem by offering a digital gateway to regulated investment products. It reflects a broader shift toward app-based financial services in Malaysia.
