This is nuts. I get that the top portfolio is supposed to be "very aggressive", but 30% gold + 30% QQQ + 10% Brazil is just "we did a bunch of drugs and invested in whatever the flying purple elephants told us to buy!".

What a joke! Did MAS actually license this company? Shame on the regulator.

The name of the company, Squirrelsave, already shows that they don't even know the difference between saving and investing. And yet they want to manage people's money for a performance fee in addition to an annual management fee.

Now the "asset allocation" of their robo components proves that they don't even know how to do asset allocation for sound investing.

Aside from the speculative choice of the other components, does anyone know why each portfolio has so much percentage of cash? And so much gold (even for the conservative portfolio).

To paraphrase Burton Malkiel in his book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street", even a squirrel (monkey) throw darts at a list of (speculative) ETFs sure to win (some of the time).

Squirrelsave might be able to get some (Singapore) fools to part with their money. It would be interesting to know how many clients / customers they acquire and how much money they get eventually.

Today's allocation for "very aggresive" portfolio
