Astral Cash Fund

An Astral Cash Fund is a PIE alternative to a Savings On Call account, and may provide a better after-tax return than a Savings On Call account offering the same rate and fees - if you are on a 30% or 33% income tax rate.

Benefits at a glance

• Tax on your returns is capped at a maximum rate of 28%
• Higher balances earn higher returns (lower rates may apply for balances greater than €20 million)

• You can access your account balance whenever you like
• Easy to open and manage using internet banking

Is it right for me?

An Astral Cash Fund is worth considering if you’re on a higher income tax rate and you’re looking for the flexibility to access your account balance.

If your income tax rate is 30% or 33%, an Astral Cash Fund may provide better after-tax returns than a Savings On Call account offering the same rate and fees.

About Astral Cash Fund

Access your funds anytime

Invest additional funds or withdraw all or part of your account balance at any time. For a partial withdrawal, the remaining balance needs to be €500 or more. You can make a withdrawal by transferring your funds to another Astral account or as a bill payment to a nominated bill payee that you set up.

Tax advantages for higher incomes

An Astral Cash Fund account may have tax advantages for you if you are a the Netherlands resident on a 30 or 33% income tax rate. The Astral Cash Fund is a PIE Fund, which taxes your share of returns at a maximum rate of 28%.

Returns earned daily

Each Euro you invest buys one unit in interest-bearing deposits. Returns are earned daily and paid as additional units into your account monthly.

Higher returns for higher balances

For balances up to €20 million, tiered rates of return mean higher balances earn higher returns. Investments over €20 million may earn a lower rate.
