What Are Dual Currency Investments?

Dual currency investments offer potential returns by leveraging the relative difference between two currencies. Investors can deposit money in one currency and withdraw it in another currency if the exchange rate is favourable, providing the potential for higher returns. However, converting the base currency to the alternate currency at maturity must result in a higher than market rate conversion. Dual currency investments come with risks, as unfavourable exchange rates could lead to a loss in profit upon maturity.

Why Invest in Dual Currency Investments?

CIMB Bank Singapore offers flexible dual currency investments for investors seeking higher returns on their cash holdings. Investors can select a maturity period and currency pair that best suits their needs, such as AUD, USD, CAD, EUR, JPY, among others. Converting SGD to AUD, for example, can be beneficial for investors planning to retire or send their child for education in Australia.
