Question 12

What’s the minimum investment I have to make to invest into PE and VC?

Accepted Answer

The minimum investment is $50,000 USD. However, we only need you to deposit 30% of your desired total investment amount, also known as your annual budget.

Question 13

What does annual budget for PE and VC mean?

Accepted Answer

“Annual budget” refers to the overall amount you intend to invest in PE and VC.The annual budget helps us determine which funds and investment amounts are the most suitable as we allocate the pool of money over time.
The word “annual” does not mean you are committed to investing on an annual basis. Rather, we use the term annual budget because we will commit this amount to funds throughout the course of a year, starting from when you transfer the initial 30%.

Question 14

Will you invest all my annual budget for PE and VC in one year?

Accepted Answer

Your funds will be invested over the subsequent 2-5 years after you deposit.

Question 15

Can I change my annual budget, and if so, how often and when?

Accepted Answer

You can change your annual budget at any time as long as it isn’t lower than the minimum $50,000 USD or lower than the amount StashAway has committed at that point on your behalf. After changing your budget, any future commitments will be adjusted according to your new budget. If you wish to stop making future commitments, or reduce or increase your budget, talk to your Wealth Advisor.

Question 16

What is the difference between annual budget, committed capital and invested capital?

Accepted Answer

“Annual budget” refers to the overall amount you wish to invest in PE and VC
“Committed capital” refers to the amount that StashAway has committed on your behalf to the PE and VC funds for their future use. This amount is final and irreversible. We aim to commit your full annual budget within the year, starting from when you transfer the initial 30%.
“Invested capital” refers to the amount that has actually been deployed and transferred to the funds. This amount is final and irreversible. We aim to invest your full annual budget within 2 to 5 years.

Question 17

Do I have to transfer my full annual budget for PE and VC right away?

Accepted Answer

Your first transfer has to be at least 30% of your annual budget. Over the first year, StashAway’s Investment Committee aims to commit your annual budget to PE and VC funds. Meanwhile, over the subsequent 1-5 years, we’ll notify you when you need to transfer more money so that the committed capital can be deployed.
To illustrate how much you’d need to transfer in the future, let’s look at an example:
As StashAway’s investment team seeks opportunities to invest your money over time, you’ll need to be prepared to transfer 25% of either your annual budget or total commitments at any given time.
If your annual budget is $100,000 SGD, then your initial deposit is $30,000 SGD.
Let’s say StashAway commits $80,000 SGD of your annual budget at some point. At any time in a 1-5 year timeframe, you’ll need to invest an additional $80,000 SGD*25% ($80,000 SGD = total committed amount) or $100,000 SGD*25% ($100,000 SGD = your annual budget), whichever is higher.

Question 18

How many PE and VC funds can I invest in?

Accepted Answer

We aim to diversify your investments across 5 to 7 PE and VC funds.

Question 19

When can I withdraw or cash out my PE and VC investments?

Accepted Answer

Withdraw You’ll only be able to withdraw your deposited funds that haven’t been committed into PE and VC yet . You can find out your committed amount through your Wealth Advisor. Cash out Generally, funds start making the first distributions back to clients around year 4 or 5 of the investment. We will notify you once a distribution event takes place, and you will be able to cash out those distributions. Further distributions then continue to occur until the end of the lifetime of the fund, which generally is around 10 years. If you want to sell a part or all of your commitments through a secondary market, you may reach out to your Wealth Advisor. Do note however, that the option for secondaries isn’t guaranteed, and your commitment could be sold at a discount.

Question 20

What are the fees to invest in PE and VC?

Accepted Answer

StashAway charges an annual management fee of 1% on committed capital. We do not charge any fees on your annual budget.
Besides this, there are fees charged by the fund managers. These include, but are not limited to, entry, fund admin, or management fees. They may add up to 1.0%-3.0%.
There may also be performance fees upon successful exits charged by the fund manager, and they usually range between 10% to 20% depending on the fund. Performance fees are only charged on the profits that you make with your PE and VC investments above a certain minimum hurdle rate.

Question 21

How do I start investing in PE and VC?

Accepted Answer

Contact our Wealth Advisory team to get started.

Question 22

How are the PE and VC funds chosen?

Accepted Answer

StashAway sources funds from our network of partners and world’s leading fund managers such as CVC, Carlyle, KKR, and Insight Partners.
Our investment team has developed a fund selection process that includes extensive due diligence and intelligent criteria-matching. The team looks at a variety of factors including but not limited to: the reputation of the fund manager, the expertise of their team, the investment strategy, the past performance of previous funds, the synergy with the client’s target allocation, and the key terms of investing into the fund.

Question 23

Where are my funds held?

Accepted Answer

We keep the funds for PE and VC in a separate, trust account at Citibank. Citibank serves as a custodian of funds, where your PE and VC funds are completely segregated from StashAway’s company account.

Question 24

How are the investments legally structured? Is my name legally in the target company’s shareholder registry?

Accepted Answer

By participating, you appoint Pacific Trustees (regulated by MAS) as a bare trustee to hold the investments on your behalf under a nominee account structure. In other words, Pacific Trustees will be the nominee shareholder in the funds for shares held on behalf of all StashAway PE and VC investors.
In turn, the fund in question will be the nominee shareholder in the companies for shares held on behalf of all investors in the fund. Pacific Trustees will retain a ledger with all of your holdings.

Question 25

Are investments into PE and VC taxable?

Accepted Answer

Any profits you make from PE and VC would be considered capital gains belonging to you. Therefore, all tax consequences, reporting requirements, and payment obligations are your responsibility.
StashAway does not manage tax risks, and so we recommend you seek advice from a third party with respect to the tax implications of investing in PE and VC.

Question 26

What happens to my PE and VC investments if StashAway gets acquired, goes public, or closes?

Accepted Answer

If StashAway gets acquired, goes public, or closes, nothing happens to your investments.The funds selected for PE and VC are held in a bank account at Citibank. Citibank serves as a custodian of funds, where your funds are completely segregated from StashAway’s company account. In addition, the shares held in companies or the units of the funds are held by Pacific Trustees (licensed by MAS) as a bare trustee on your behalf. The trustee will continue to safeguard them if the situation were to arise.

Question 27

What is Angel Investing with StashAway Reserve?

Accepted Answer

StashAway has collaborated with XA Network (XA) to provide Reserve clients the opportunity to invest in early-stage technology startups across Southeast Asia. Reserve clients can invest between $20,000 USD and $200,000 USD per year. StashAway and XA will aim to allocate your funds across 10-20 startups per year.

Question 28

What’s the minimum investment to become an angel investor?

Accepted Answer

The minimum investment is $20,000 USD, and the maximum is $200,000 USD per year. As angel investing inherently comes with tremendously high risk and is highly illiquid, we recommend budgeting no more than 5-10% of your total net worth to angel investing.
To get started, you will need to transfer at least 30% of your annual budget. For example, if you select $200,000 USD, your first transfer would be at least $60,000 USD. We will draw down from that $60,000 USD in order to invest in the startups, and we will send you a reminder to top up when less than 30% of your annual budget will be available for investments.

Question 29

How many startups can I invest in?

Accepted Answer

Angel investing is generally very risky, and so to diversify your opportunities, we will aim to allocate your funds across approximately 10-20 startups per year. The investments will start once you transfer at least 30% of your annual budget for Angel Investing. StashAway aims for an investment into any one startup not to exceed 15% of your annual budget for Angel Investing.

Question 30

Can I withdraw my money at any time?

Accepted Answer

Because angel investing is a private investment option that doesn’t allow for buying and selling of shares, funds will therefore be locked in until there is a successful exit, which, on average, takes 5 to 10 years. Because of this timeline, we only recommend investing cash that you won’t need for the next 10 years. Keep in mind that returns are not guaranteed.

Question 31

What does “annual budget” for Angel Investing mean?

Accepted Answer

“Annual budget” refers to the overall amount you intend to invest in Angel Investing.The word “annual” indicates that we intend to invest your full annual budget for Angel Investing into startups throughout the course of a year.

Question 32

Can I change my annual budget and when?

Accepted Answer

You’re free to change the amount you want to invest in angel investing at any time. However, make sure to inform your Wealth Advisor of any changes you’d like to make. Keep in mind that 30% of whatever your most up-to-date annual budget is should be in your account ready for investments in startups and fee payments.

Question 33

Where are my funds held?

Accepted Answer

We keep the funds for PE and VC in a separate, trust account at Citibank. Citibank serves as a custodian of funds, where your PE and VC funds are completely segregated from StashAway’s company account.

Question 34

What are the fees for Angel Investing?

Accepted Answer

There are only two fees you’ll need to pay: a management fee and a performance fee. StashAway shares a portion of both fees with XA Network. StashAway charges a management fee, and it applies only when your funds get invested in startups. For the first 5 years, there is a 2% annual management fee on the invested funds. From year 6 to 10, the annual management fee will be reduced to 1%. If there is a liquidity event or the startup discontinued its operations, we will no longer charge a management fee. The management fee is calculated daily and charged quarterly from the StashAway Angel Investing account. On investment profits, StashAway charges a 20% performance fee. The investment profit is calculated by subtracting the invested funds from the total returns, and will be charged upon a successful exit per startup you’ve been invested in. For example, if you invested $5,000 USD in startup A, it’s share value increased to $50,000 USD throughout time, then your investment profit will be $36,000 USD after accounting for $9,000 USD of performance fees.
If we aren’t able to collect the full 2% annual management fee due to a lack of funds in your account, we reserve the right to increase the performance fee from 20% to 50% on every startup that you are invested in. This is why we expect you to keep at least 30% of your budget in your account. StashAway also reserves the right to sell your liquid investments held with Asia Wealth Platform Pte Ltd (StashAway) to pay for any missed management fees.

Question 45

How do I invest in crypto as a Reserve client?

Accepted Answer

You can invest a small portion of your General Investing portfolios (including those that are SRS-funded) in crypto based on the risk level you choose. Depending on the StashAway Risk Index (SRI) you choose, you will get between 1-12% exposure to crypto through two high-quality, institutional-grade ETFs that invest in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) – the two most liquid and widely-adopted digital assets. Because of the high risks and volatility associated with the crypto market, the SRI for General Investing portfolios with crypto are higher than that without crypto. You can read more about SRI here

Question 46

Do I need to create a new portfolio to add crypto?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily, you can add crypto to your existing General Investing portfolios (including those that are SRS-funded). After you do so, your portfolio will be automatically rebalanced to the new allocations, including the crypto ETFs.
It is important to note that choosing to add crypto to an existing General Investing portfolio will increase its risk level, as measured by the StashAway Risk Index.

Question 47

Does adding crypto increase the risk of my portfolio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, adding crypto to your General Investing portfolios (including those that are SRS-funded) will increase the risk of your portfolio.

This will give you equally distributed exposure to both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Question 50

How much crypto exposure can I have?

For example, if you have deposited $250,000 SGD with StashAway, but your total assets drop to $200,000 SGD due to market fluctuations, we would still refer to the higher amount, which is your net deposits.
Similarly, if you have deposited $200,000 SGD, but your total assets have grown to $250,000 SGD, we would refer to the higher amount, which is your total assets (value of portfolio).
