Earn good old-fashioned income

Written by

Stress-free finance

Many people today struggle to make their cash go as far as it once did. Costs are rising, wages are standing still, and savings accounts can’t be relied on for income like they used to. People are searching for steady financial ground. Something to rely on, like previous generations had.

That’s why we built a portfolio that takes you back to the good old days of consistent investment income. Introducing SteadyIncome℠.* No big swings. No stress. Just an estimated better return than letting your cash sit around.

A conservative approach to investing

SteadyIncome is designed to be very conservative (less risky), investing only in fixed income (bond) exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The portfolio focuses on generating yield and income through these investments. If you are new to investing or prefer stability, this is a great, practical way to get started.

Essentially, it’s a place to park your cash that’s safer than investing in stocks but that provides greater estimated returns than a traditional savings account. With the SteadyIncome portfolio, you can potentially earn more income than the average savings account offers today.

We’ll put your money to work

Why let your cash sit in a savings account when you can put it in a SteadyIncome portfolio and earn extra interest and dividend income while you mull your next move?

If you already have a MoneyLion Investment account, you can choose the SteadyIncome portfolio by using the Risk Slider in the MoneyLion app:

  1. Go to My Portfolio in the Finances tab.
  2. Tap Edit Allocation.
  3. Use the Risk Slider to choose SteadyIncome (move slider all the way left).

We’ll rebalance your portfolio at no cost. And you can always go back to something more aggressive later if you’d like to make another change.

Just joining MoneyLion? Once you open your investment account, you can switch to the SteadyIncome portfolio using the Risk Slider. In order to access the Risk Slider, go to your portfolio page and tap Edit Allocation.

See Table 1 below for details on the ETFs in the SteadyIncome portfolio.
