Frequently Asked Questions
How should you compare your StashAway returns to the returns of your other investments?
A single return figure (Time-Weighted Returns vs Money-Weighted Returns) does not tell the whole story of how well a portfolio performs.
Returns are one thing but the level of risk exposure your portfolio has in achieving those returns is an entirely different matter.
Remember to consider how much risk your portfolio manager exposes your money to in the name of getting your returns.

How did StashAway choose the funds that are in my portfolio?
StashAway chooses the best-in-class ETFs on your behalf. We chose the largest, most liquid, most tradable, and most cost-effective ETFs with the lowest tracking error to the index and a sufficiently long track record.
We choose simple ETFs, which means they have no leverage or complex payoffs and have no ETNs to avoid credit risk of issuers.
You can read more about our ETF selection criteria here and the list of funds that we use here.
How much experience does your investment team have?
Our Chief Investing Officer, Freddy Lim who leads our investment team, has over 15 years of experience in cross-asset investing and portfolio management.
