While writing this article, I received an email stating that StashAway will be re-optimised the portfolios to prepare for uncertain times ahead. It looks like there are quite a few changes, so shall blog about it separately. You can look at the announcement here.
I have yet to look into it but with an increase in salary which I blogged about here - Portfolio - April 2020, I will probably be increasing our monthly investment as well as my SRS contribution for tax optimization.
Anyway, we have 3 portfolios on 2 accounts now due to our new strategy - New Strategy: StashAway + Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS):
KPO and CZM Cash - StashAway Risk Index 22%
Based on the statement (30 Apr 2020), our total investment is $34,830.73! KPO gains $2,700.59 and CZM gains $202.64 for the month.
As of 12 May 2020, these are our portfolio performance:
KPO and CZM Cash - StashAway Risk Index 22%: $25,514.22 (17.61% - Capital: $23,000)
KPO SRS - StashAway Risk Index 36%: $5,439.04 (11.44% - Capital: $5,250)
CZM SRS - StashAway Risk Index 14%: $3,701.56 (15.90% - Capital: $3,500)
From here, you can see the difference in volatility/losses based on both our SRS accounts which started around the same time but with vastly different risk.

Note that these are reported in USD.
3. FEE CALCULATIONS
I referred StashAway to 2 friends. Hence, the fee stated is based on the monthly-average assets SGD $9,588.42 x 0.8% / 366 days * 30 days = $6.29. Otheriwse, it would have been SGD ($25,000.00 x 0.8% + $4,588.42 x 0.7%) / 366 days * 30 days = $19.03.
We used Grab points to redeem for StashAway credits last year (1,200 points for $5 credit) but I believe it is no longer available.
StocksCafe
Looking at the time-weighted return (-3.59%) for this year, we can see that StashAway Risk Index 22% is "outperforming" the STI ETF (including fees) in the sense that it is not losing as much. However, if we compare across the years, StashAway's portfolio is winning by a huge margin (16.94%). In addition, it has a lower max drawdown but with slightly higher volatility for this year.
Similarly, StashAway Risk Index 22% is also outperforming the SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) with much lower volatility and max drawdown for this year.
Which is the best? Only time will tell :)
