Given that a significant percentage of equities are in the US, how does Endowus hedge against FX risk? Can you also share news on: 1. upcoming improvement to the CPF portfolio, 2. CPF LRIS. Thanks!?

Hi Jin,

It is inefficient to hedge against FX risk for equities, as the underlying investments are never directly exposed to a single currency for any diversified equities portfolio.

We avoid taking single currency risk by being globally diversified for your equities portfolio, using SGD denominated funds so that you minimise FX transaction cost.

Unlike other roboadvisors, we provide SGD hedged bond funds in all our portfolios so that you do not take unnecessary FX risk in your bond allocation. You can read more about FX risk management here.

We are still working closely with the fund managers on bringing better funds to CPFIS. We are not in a position to comment on CPF LRIS, sorry about that!

Looking at a 1 year time frame, is it more of a risk-on (eg portfolio more skewed towards equities) or risk-off (more skewed towards bonds) environment? Kindly share your thoughts, thanks!?

Started investing with 1) Cash: SWRD, 2) CPF-OA thru Endowus: Lion Global Infinity US 500 Stock Index Fund only, 3) SRS thru Endowus: Dimensional Global Core Equity Fund only. Does it look ok?

Thanks Sam and Greg for the webinar earlier. Would like to check - given the low-vecorrelation between bonds and equities, would Endowus consider having Gold/other forms of hedges for your portfolios?

Hi, have 2 portfolios. 1 is 100% stock and 2 -40% stocks, 60% bonds. All stock return is better. Need advise optimizing the latter one given no issue with risk appetite but stocks are high now?

Hi! Are you guys using srs and cpf oa to invest via endowus? Any recommendation which portfolio to consider investing in within endowus? Thank u so much for yr kind sharing!
