Mission 4 · After you have money in Versa
Versa Gold, including the time Daus's profit dropped
Versa Gold is a Shariah gold tracker fund backed by physical gold. How to buy, the 0.30% fee, T+4 cash out, why the risk is very high, and Daus's own account record.
Quick answer
- Versa Gold tracks the price of gold. You hold fund units, not physical gold, and you can't redeem it for gold.
- Low fees (0.30% management), RM100 minimum, cash out in T+4 business days.
- Risk label is very high. Daus's profit once dropped from around RM6,000 to RM3,000 in 2026.
What you need
- A verified Versa account
- Money you can leave untouched for 3 years or more
- Willingness to watch the value drop
What Versa Gold is
Versa Gold is the app’s name for the AHAM Shariah Gold Tracker Fund. The fund is backed by physical gold held in a vault, and its value tracks the movement of the gold price. It’s Shariah-compliant and launched on Versa in December 2022.
The most important thing to understand: you’re buying fund units, not bars. There’s no delivery of gold, and units can’t be redeemed as physical gold. If you want to hold gold in your hand, a physical gold platform suits you better.

Fees and the numbers that matter
- Fees: Versa Gold fees: management 0.30%, trustee 0.03% a year, and Sales charge: 0% on every product.
- Minimum cash in: RM100.
- Cash out to bank: T+4 business days after the processing day.
- Switch to Cash or Cash-i: T+6 business days.
- Cut-off: Versa Cash and Invest cut-off: 3:00 PM on business days.
The 0.30% fee is among the lowest on Versa’s Invest list, since a tracker fund doesn’t need a manager picking stocks.
Daus’s Versa Gold account, drop included
Daus has held Versa Gold since around November 2023. Here’s the record from his own screenshots and updates:
| Date | Value | Profit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29 Oct 2025 | RM18,996.97 | +RM4,530.73 | TWR +84.33% |
| 12 Jan 2026 | RM22,680.12 | +RM5,213.88 | 1-year view |
| 17 Jan 2026 | RM23,463.76 | +RM5,997.52 | Peak, TWR +96.86% |
| Jul 2026 | ≈ RM26,600 | ≈ +RM3,000 | After gold fell in 2026 |
Notice the July value is higher but the profit is lower? That’s because Daus kept putting money in throughout that period, while the gold price fell. The account value rose from new money, not from gold going up. Daus is still holding. The full record is on Daus’s Account.
Why the risk label is very high
Gold is usually seen as “safe”, but its price can fall fast and stay down a long time. 2026 proved it: after hitting a record early in the year, the price fell hard and eroded the profit of many gold investors, Daus included, by roughly half. This fund tracks the gold price in US dollars converted to ringgit, so currency movements affect it too.
Versa Gold suits money you can leave untouched for 3 years or more, and as a small slice of your savings, not all of it.

Gold on Versa vs elsewhere

Common questions on this topic
Is Versa Gold real gold?
It's a tracker fund backed by physical gold in a vault, but you hold units, not gold itself. You can't redeem physical gold, and it's labelled very high risk.
