QUOTE(windvind @ Jul 3 2019, 01:33 PM) Hi guys im new to SA although i had read about it during its launch in SG, but never got to it till today. Would like to ask what are your risk % and the returns like? I'm planning to dump all my money from P2P and small FD into this, so i hope to get a 6 - 8% yield. 6.5 port, +11% since Nov 18

QUOTE(nex2 @ Jul 3 2019, 10:53 PM) Do you guys think SA is suitable to allocate a significant portion of your portfolio? Personally i prefer to invest in local market because it dont hv to pay withholding tax, can support local market etc... but SA is focus on US market Im using FSM managed portfolio but it is quite different from what i preferred (like SA).. and it has vr long processing time  It depends entirely on your outlook  If you want to support MYR and Bursa, then having a big portion of SA is probably not a good idea The processing time has gone down significantly though.

QUOTE(snoozet @ Jul 11 2019, 01:35 PM) Actually I am still not at the level of diversifying risk of currency. If I want to predict fx, I will purely buy the fx bet, and not mixed with this investment. A very good example, if USD gradually appreciate to 4.5 vs MYR, will u keep putting money into stashaway? If u guys start deposit from 4.0 maybe will continue to do so to average up, if for a new user, his 4.5 fx deposit will put himself in great risk. The idea of DCA is to average out the risk. Or you can 'time' it. USD go up, you cash out loh, MYR go up, you buy in more loh.

QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Jul 11 2019, 01:38 PM) This stashaway seems like can beat FD 1 year rate. Is it better to put here than fd? Possibly better yes. Higher reward AND higher risk.

QUOTE(snoozet @ Jul 11 2019, 01:39 PM) When u think US market will go up , so u will deposit more is it? But at the same time u also predict that USD will go down, so will ur decision to buy is still intact? Nah, he is not talking about timing the market either. He is just talking about diversifying. In case your local currency goes kaput, your local assets (from a global value POV) is also kinda kaput.

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Jul 11 2019, 01:40 PM) FX is just a very small issue in SA. Why you magnified it? 4.5 is high but pandai pandai see graph lah.4.5 still lump sump meh? Of course enter bit by bit. You buy any foreign investment also got fx risk. But it's not wise to be MYR concentrated He cannot tahan the hedging aspect of it. Up means up, down means down.

QUOTE(snoozet @ Jul 11 2019, 01:56 PM) Well, frankly speaking, if one day Stashaway let you choose in USD or MYR-hedged two option, will you still insist that USD denomination is better due to currency diversification? Erm, how does that work actually?

QUOTE(yfiona @ Jul 11 2019, 02:25 PM) Hi can I know how infrequent does Stashaway rebalance our portfolio? or does it just stick with whatever is bought initially? Thank you. It rebalances when it needs to. I think so far they have not done so. By default we all opt in to reoptimize.

QUOTE(yfiona @ Jul 11 2019, 03:13 PM) Er, just to clarify, it rebalances daily actually. When the current weight deviates from the target weight by x% (usually quite small amount), they will auto buy/sell to rebalance. However, reoptimize is actually changing the target allocation %. THAT one, according to FAQ, is 1-3 times a year. But I do not think anyone has actually noticed it happening. I hope that better explains it.

QUOTE(ratloverice @ Jul 21 2019, 12:18 AM) Created a portfolio with 36% risk index. Will it be too risky to login only twice a year since the risk index is high and I might not be able to take corrective actions if things go extremely wrong? If things go extremely wrong, you would know from the news

QUOTE(y3ivan @ Jul 22 2019, 01:26 PM) Thanks kind sir! The sell price within the expected market price? Drop sikit due to the longer transaction time. Market moved by the time they actually sold the ETFs. Not very significant, but to be fair market movement can work either way. Within my expected margin.

QUOTE(swc881 @ Jul 23 2019, 11:44 AM) Hi guys, i hoping to get some simple lay man explanation here. I have no clue how SA actually split the allocation when the fresh funds went through. If i simply see the performance, SA do not really allocate to performing ETF, but rather invest to the lower performing ETF Example 1 - XLK were performing very well, but SA bought the XLP and XLY from my fresh funds without any allocation into XLK. Current performance XLK : +8.24% XLP : +5.89% XLY : +5.37% Example 2 - TLT were performing very well, but SA mainly bought TIP from my fresh fund without any allocation into TLF. Current performance TLT : +5.84% TLF : +2.37% Yup, because it makes more sense to buy an undervalued asset first. Gains in an ETF means that others now has lower weightage.

QUOTE(frostfrench @ Jul 23 2019, 03:19 PM) I started on Jan2019 at 18% risk, profit up and down in this 7 months, and have been DCA every 2 weeks. Today it is at 5% profit, ok lah, will cont DCA. Is it advisable to have another portfolio in a higher risk? like 26% You can use it to 'experiment' and see how individual ETFs performance are like. Otherwise, just stick to 1 profile with the risk % that you are comfortable with
