HIGH INFLATION

POSITIVE GROWTH

Recession
Stagflation
The 4 economic regimes

Economic Regime Asset Allocation
Asset classes behave differently depending on the economic regime. ERAA® will change your portfolio’s asset allocation to prepare for the current or upcoming regime while maintaining your risk preferences.

We call this change to your asset allocation “Re-optimisation”.
Re-optimisation is triggered by one of three events:
  • An economic regime change
  • Uncertain economic conditions flagged by our Risk Shield
  • A change in valuation of an asset class

Frequently Asked Questions

A single return figure (Time-Weighted Returns vs Money-Weighted Returns) does not tell the whole story of how well a portfolio performs.

Returns are one thing but the level of risk exposure your portfolio has in achieving those returns is an entirely different matter. 

Remember to consider how much risk your portfolio manager exposes your money to in the name of getting your returns.

StashAway chooses the best-in-class ETFs on your behalf. We chose the largest, most liquid, most tradable, and most cost-effective ETFs with the lowest tracking error to the index and a sufficiently long track record. 

We choose simple ETFs, which means they have no leverage or complex payoffs and have no ETNs to avoid credit risk of issuers. 

You can read more about our ETF selection criteria here and the list of funds that we use here.

No minimum deposit amount required and you have the option to deposit in AED or USD.

You have full discretion on how much and when you want to invest, including no minimum balance to maintain the account. You may also skip a month or two, resume, and withdraw whenever you wish. All without incurring charges or penalties.
