💰 **Cash Trust vs Fixed Deposit (FD): Is It Just About Higher Returns?**
Not quite! In Malaysia, the key difference goes beyond returns — it's about **risk, protection, and financial structure.**
🏦 **Fixed Deposit:** Eligible bank deposits are protected by PIDM, up to RM250,000 per depositor per member bank.
📑 **Cash Trust:** A trust arrangement, not a PIDM-protected FD. Your rights and protection depend on the Trust Deed and applicable laws.
At **HWM Consultancy**, we believe smart wealth planning starts with understanding what you're committing to — not just chasing attractive returns.
