Recently did and passed the SGX exam and got the higher risk portfolios unlocked. So far my returns based on 22% risk level has been good, at 20% TWR. Tempted to slide the risk level up to 36%, or create a separate portfolio at 36%.

Walao eh haha
Just stick to the risk that u r more comfortable with
If u think u can handle more risk then go for it. If can't then stick to current risk
Don't change the risk becoz of the return

And don't need to split into multiple portfolio. One port is more than enough already since each port is diversified enough.

just asking, anyone here who have invested in SA for minimum 6 months have a NEGATIVE return?

US market has been rallying for quite some time
I doubt there will be any negative return now.

PS. Not sure how did the fixed income perform (6.5%)

Hello, I'd been investing Stashaway for pass few months and return has been good (2months, 6-7%, 36% risk profile.)

However, I noticed there is a discrepancy btw the return in MYR and USD.

I noticed that if i compare the conversion rate:
Current value, in both USD and MYR, (MYR => USD, the conversion rate is 4.12, which is the normal market conversion rate)

However, if i check the conversion for total returns (MYR => USD, the conversion rate is 3.147) it is much much higher.

So there is a reduced in return in MYR when calculation the total return. I'd msged stashaway and was told it was due to exchange rate. However no matter how u calculate, forex exchange rate for MYR to USD is never lower than 4.0.

So what am I missing here. Stashaway had not given me a proper explaination.

Can you guys check ur total return conversion to see if its the same? or my case is unique?
*
Mine is at 4.06 (Previously deposit some lump sum when usd to myr was 4.09 hence the lower currency impact)

For the past few months, use to myr has been 4.2x range. So if u deposit a lot during that period then your currency impact will be much larger.

Just continue to DCA as time goes. For long term, it won't really matter much.

Not bad at all, my 6.5% portfolio MWR is 3.53% , TWR is 5.5% , created the portfolio in April 2019.

The 36% portfolio sitting pretty with 27.3% and 20% since Nov 18. Happy with it so far and only paid management fees for 2-3 months. Now free again for 6 months from Boost.

Question, does the return include dividends received?
*
Yes. The return does include the dividend received.

That's from yesterday's (30th December) dip in US market. 31st Devember got a small bump.

U can roughly track the performance by looking at sp500/dow

Besides those that are working in SG I think.

Seeing how some of us here are worrying about crash/recession etc. Here's something from Stashaway fb

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...814202975443585

Give it a look and revise your own risk appetite.
Not certainly the risk index that need to be revised but changing the amount might help to reduce ur emotional stress on investing too.

I've been looking around and considering this. But from briefly reading this thread it looks like a lot of people are playing around with relatively small amounts for this. Is this safe for larger investments?
*
SAMY is around 25 to 30% of my portfolio becoz I'm lazy to DIY and my free management referrals still can cover the fees (though it's easily covered by the dividends) lol.

For larger investment maybe can try DIY. U can find the topic in this subforum too. Topic tile is [DIY] something something

Thank you for the reply

Im sorry to say that it was indeed possible to lose money during december.My risk level is 18% and Ive actually attempted to increase the risk up to 20+ percent before but it didn't work up well as i just kept losing more capital.I did make some cash during december but it was pretty insignificant, maybe about 0.8% or something which i eventually lost during january.

But thats not the question im asking.Im starting to wonder what's the point of investing at stash away when there are other more stable choices like EPF and REIT with more or less similar ROI (return of investment).Ive actually heard of some people earning less than FD after a year of using stash away.Yes i do understand that there is a lock in for EPF,so thats why im diversifying, however im starting to wonder if stash away is a good option to diversify my personal portfolio as this is the first time im trying a robo-advisor.

So after some practical experience using this app im starting to doubt whether its a worth while investment in the long run.Maybe someone can share their experience in using this app in the long term.

Thanks

May I know long have you been using Stashaway?

We are generally investing in US market. U just joined it for one month, to be honest it's too fast to make a conclusion out of it.

As for the risk index, we don't determine it based on the performance but based on your own risk appetite. Then just leave it there. It's called passive investing for a reason.


And lastly, if you think Stashaway can't meet your expectations then can just invest in other investment vehicles that are more suitable for you. It's your own money anyway.

I think you can study more on ETF (especially those chosen by SA in your port)

From there you monitor them. We are actually not investing in StashAway itself but the ETF selected by them.

By monitoring the ETFs, at least you can understand when there's up and down on your portfolio

Hi there, I encountered the same for my 6.5%, had been DCA since last year July
MYR
MWR: -2.13%
TWR: -0.14%

USD
MWR: 2.88%
TWR: 2.81%

Didnt get the logic behind as well, hope someone could clarify, tq
*
It's because of the currency impact.
Previously they do display is the amount of currency impact

But now they just display via the return %

I have enquiry Stashaway regarding the currency impact
Will update here if they do reply
