StashAway - November 2020

As we approach the last few days of the year, you might want to consider optimizing/reducing your taxes through the following methods which I have blogged about previously:
- SRS (Invest through Endowus and StashAway)
- CPF RSTU (CPF SA)
- Voluntary Contribution (VC) to CPF MA

StashAway did a withholding tax reimbursement for dividends withheld last year. Based on what I have compiled, StashAway's portfolio is pretty sustainable (dividends > fees). You can read more about it here - StashAway Withholding Tax Reimbursement FY 2019

 1. PORTFOLIO SUMMARY (as of the last day of the month)

Based on the statement (30 November 2020), our total investment is ‭$53,451.62! KPO gains $1,533.56 and CZM gains/lost $35.66 for the month.

As of 18 December 2020, these are our portfolio performance:

3. FEE CALCULATIONS


The fee stated is based on the monthly-average assets SGD ($25,000.00 x 0.8% + $21,343.51 x 0.7%) / 366 days * 30 days = $28.64.


The fee stated is based on the monthly-average assets SGD $5,521.32 x 0.8% / 366 days * 30 days = $3.62.

Evan (founder of StocksCafe) made an improvement where one can now benchmark their portfolio against multiple indexes/ETFs. Looking at the time-weighted return (12.88%) for this year, we can see that StashAway Risk Index 22% is outperforming the STI ETF (including fees). 

If we compare across the years, StashAway's portfolio is winning by a huge margin (36.98%) except losing to SPY (49.09%) and IWDA (40.73%). In addition, it has the lowest volatility and max drawdown. This is what StashAway meant by reducing risk and maximizing the return. 

The annualized return/XIRR of the portfolio is very impressive too at 12.67%. Using the Rule of 72, it means that the StashAway portfolio will double our money in 72 / 12.67 ~ 5.7 years. In comparison, the same money if left in the bank account at 2% interest rate will take 72 / 2 ~ 36 years to double.

Which is the best? Only time will tell :)
