I am using Stashaway, i have been giving alot of reviews on stashaway.
There are things, i like about stashaway.
1) flexibility in investing, you can have multiple portfolios according to your risk index. You can invest everyday,which i did in Mar when US market S&P500 goes down. I use S&P500 as a benchmark to dollar cost average every other day,and now my returns is 34%!
2) the mobile app is user friendly, easy to use.
3) i communicate with their team via whatsapp if i have queries. They are prompt in replying.
4) you can use your srs, cash
5) lastly is stashaway is a robo-advisor... You do not need to research on the various stocks. You save time. And TIME is PRECIOUS!

  • I like the iOS app which allows me to track my investment performance on the go

It depends on your objective. If you want a completely hands off approach to investing because your ...
