Access wealth advisory services and private market investments all in one place.

Private market investments are only open to Professional Clients (PC). Find out whether you’re eligible to become a PC with us. This article shares some of the author’s personal opinions and experiences, and doesn’t represent financial advice. 

StashAway Reserve, our new wealth creation offering, empowers individuals to access highly personalised wealth advisory, and private investment opportunities. It was first launched in Singapore in early 2022. The response from clients was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their satisfaction and enthusiasm at how StashAway further democratises wealth management. We are therefore thrilled to announce the expansion of StashAway Reserve to the UAE. I personally know just how challenging it is to get access to private market investments. But, I deeply believe that private market investments shouldn’t only be for the well-connected and ultra-wealthy. Below, you can find the details: 

Access our Wealth Advisory services

We created StashAway so that everyone can access high-quality investment solutions that are easy to understand and use. While our app offers a seamless digital experience, we understand that investing is a highly personal matter and we recognise the importance of having the option to speak with a real person.  

As a Reserve client, you will be assigned a personal Wealth Advisor who will deliver unbiased and comprehensive financial and investment advice. Our Wealth Advisors will help you with your annual financial planning and bi-annual portfolio reviews (this includes investments made within and outside of StashAway!). Our Wealth Advisors will also be your personal point of contact at StashAway, and available to support you whenever you need.

Through StashAway Reserve and our network, you can access some of the world's leading global players

Private investments refer to investments made in privately held companies or assets that are not publicly traded on stock exchanges. These investments involve the purchase of equity, ownership stakes or debt in businesses that are not available for trading on the open market. Private investments can take various forms, such as private equity, private credit, venture capital, private real estate etc. Private investments offer the opportunity for higher returns compared to public investments. However, private investments also come with higher risks in terms of longer investment horizons, and less liquidity compared to publicly traded securities.

Traditional providers (e.g. private banks) often require significant minimum investment amounts (from USD $250,000 to USD $1 million per fund), posing a challenge for individual investors seeking to diversify their portfolios within private market investments. On top of that, high subscription and annual fees are usually charged. 

With StashAway Reserve, we are working with leading global players to provide our clients with unparalleled access to institutional-grade private investment opportunities. Please note that Private Investment products are only for Professional Clients.
