How long are you planning to hold?

Started stashaway in march. 2% return currently highest was close to 4% before dropping due to trade wars..

Moneyowl still losing $ as I make the deposit few days before the trade war..

Plan to hold at least 3-5 years with topup every now and then.

Might start a account with autowealth soon. I believe they're the only robo that published returns in their portal?
