Singaporean robo-adviser StashAway, which offers intelligent asset allocation with global ETFs for both retail and professional investors, has expanded its presence to Hong Kong.
StashAway’s digital wealth advisory platform, licensed by Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), is now available to Hong Kong residents.
The company has appointed Stephanie Leung, who has over 17 years of experience in managing multi-asset portfolios globally, to lead its Hong Kong business.
Leung said: “You’d be surprised to hear that wealth management in Hong Kong has largely been limited to traditional providers, who often operate on, and are incentivised by high commission-based fees and high minimum investment amounts.
“StashAway breaks those barriers and makes investing accessible to all, with client support available through our mobile and web app, 7 days a week.”
Founded in 2016, StashAway oversees more than $1bn in assets. It currently operates in Malaysia and the MENA region.
