Any thoughts on StashAway’s recent re-optimisation?

Stashaway recently re-optimised their portfolio. Although they announced they were exiting Kraneshares, when you check the log, it’s as good as selling KWEB at the bottom. The 2 days after that were record increases for Chinese shares. Feels like a mistiming to me. Did anyone attend their talk yesterday evening? Any insights to share?

Stashaway strategy is almost like active trading, during bull market they may outperform other passive robos, but during bear they also bleed more. :s13:

yeah don't forget the annual management fees for your holdings with them. It's quite a lot more compared just buying a low cost index fund. over long term will greatly affect your returns.

VOO expense ratio only 0.03%

what would you recommend using?
Do it yourself? Read up and learn on portfolio management or buy property for investment etc.

End of the day, you get what you voted for, don't complain when markets are down and these investment platforms just shrug their shoulders and tell you "its market risk".

They happily running to the bank because they take a fee either from you, or the funds they use or introduce. Basically, their kpi is not your long term profit, but you staying in there as long as possible.
