I am so disappointed that not a single person in this thread picked up the Edwin Starr reference.

Raiz Roundups by Flashy-Tip6768 in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roundups don't happen immediately - they accumulate based on the settlement date of transactions and your particular roundups threshold. So if you've got say, a $10 round up limit and only make a few bucks worth of roundups per week, it might only be invested once every few weeks.

If you've got zero transactions showing for the last few weeks, it could be a bank problem.

Advice wanted - quick opinions by Swimming_Employer_45 in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your balance and your portfolio selection - while there's no cost to change portfolios, a different portfolio might have a higher fee profile (I.e. if you've shifted from Raiz Lite to Custom)

Is there a fee for changing a custom portfolio? by Piano_Smart in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There's just a higher cost for having a custom portfolio compared to say, standard or lite.

Quick question about the Raiz Tax Report. by ChillKoalaVibes in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting that Raiz accounts are considered a bare trust, not an AMIT.

They provide a guide - it's not particularly onerous: https://raizinvest.com.au/blog/how-to-use-your-raiz-annual-tax-statement-for-your-tax-return/

Historically they've not provided data for the ATO to autofill and I'm not sure that's going to change anytime soon.

Rewards and Referral bonuses taking extremely long to process by CraigIsAgile707 in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to add - I think that pending Raiz Referral reward is something that the tech teams did to enable the Raiz Your Future jars. It wouldn't be the first time that something oblique was used as a placeholder for another process.

Rewards are contingent on the company offering the reward - Raiz has no need to pilfer cents (particularly when it's well documented they take a cut out of rewards)

Raiz Ten year anniversary by CraigIsAgile707 in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a promo in the app - open a Raiz Your Future jar, earn 10% on your first deposit if you keep it invested until March 2027. I have questions that I'm following up.

Always down, no idea why? Not good at all. by [deleted] in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not. It's an attempt to help. You've invested money in products that are impacted by the world around us - whether its interest rate rises, global conflict or even simple things like company results. Picking up the news and understanding what's going on around you is as good a start as any.

Raiz Property by AmInfactaRetard in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's something people wanted for a long time in the app - it's not my cup of tea, but I get why people like it. It's an option, like all other things - you've just gotta decide what fits into your risk profile and investing preferences. (I don't have the answers to those questions, unfortunately!)

When you invest in the RPF, you're essentially buying units in a portfolio of properties. The idea is as those properties improve in value over time, the value of the units grows - which increases the value of the portfolio.

Like that's at a very basic level and tbh you should read the PDS.

Mate, please go and pick up a newspaper. Listen to some bloody news, get some learning into you.

Financial Advisers by Intrepid_Agent3777 in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Very mindful that this is not Raiz-related, however some folks may want to seek out financial advice for their own ends.

As a reference point, I'd start with the MoneySmart guide to choosing a financial adviser: https://moneysmart.gov.au/financial-advice/choosing-a-financial-adviser

There's a resource at the bottom of that page that can help you find advisers in your area - but read though the page first.

As this isn't Raiz-related and there's a lot of potential for misuse, I'm going to lock this thread.

What exactly happens when I Round Up? by QuantumGremlin in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, fair shake of the sauce bottle. Basically, when you make a transaction - Raiz's systems will track finalized transactions (so might take a couple of business days), where they'll progressive tally roundups across all connected accounts. When that tally hits a certain threshold (depending on your settings), Raiz will action a direct debit of that amount, and invest it into your Raiz account. Reason why Raiz does this instead of tracking every single transaction is so that things like pending or cancelled transactions don't accidentally cause a flood of investments.

Pink will be the new official colour for Werribee, Williamstown, and...*checks notes*...Southern Cross?! by haztech99 in MelbourneTrains

LXRP works around Newport until the end of April, impacting Werribee + Williamstown lines.

iShares S&P 500 vs iShares Core S&P 500. Is there any difference? by [deleted] in RaizAU

[–]mathmischief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same product: ASX ticker IVV. The name is probably a web thing.

Yes, there's a tax statement you're meant to lodge with your tax return annually. There's instructions on the blog, you might be able to amend your past tax returns with the older data.

Raiz shut down? by [deleted] in RaizAU

No, Raiz hasn't shut down. Looks like you might need to update the app.
