- Knew about Smartly through Facebook advertisements and that was when I first heard of robo advisors. They captured my attention through their line "Anyone can be an investor". Although skeptical at first, I decided to try since there was only a minimum of $50 required. The sign up process was smooth and quick, my account got verified soon. Deposited $50 and currently monitoring the progress. Hope that they will come up with an app like StashAway soon.Comments (0)10
- Smartly is so much easier as other robo equity advisors in Singapore. Thumbs up! I have been a client since 2017 October. Kristjan KangroComments (0)10
- I have been a smartly customer since September 2017 and very satisfied so far. I have originally put in a lump sum and now also set up a recurring transfer because I get 25% more off the fees for this. Also my portfolio grows faster as I spend less.Comments (0)10
- I signed up and was validated on same day. Next day I sent funds and they were invested on same day. So far no complaints. Understand app is also coming soon.Comments (0)10
- Pros: Fast set-up and alot of information given about portfolios, where exactly my money will go etc. Free to withdraw any time Fractional shares Cons: Could give choice of changing some ETF-s in portfolio. But I guess this would be more for traders.Comments (0)10

- I use both StashAway and Smartly for about half a year. I got 6.6% on Smartly, 10/10 risk and 2.7% on StashAway, highest-risk portfolio. I have experienced automated rebalancing on both platforms and really happy with it. I guess the difference with the returns is with their investing method Modern Portfolio Theory (Smartly) vs Economic Regime-based Asset Allocation (StashAway). Just got into the working world, and these 2 are my first few investments. Can't wait to see future results!Comments (1)20
- Overall Review: I am extremely satisfied with Smartly. As a mid-20's professional looking for an easy way to invest safely without going through the overly complicated, fee driven banking systems, this has been my ideal go-to solution. There are no hidden fees, there is no complicated requirements which makes things really easy to trust. Basically, Smartly delivers on what it promises, lower fees than banks - same product with more transparency. Start Date: 11/2017 - Risk Profile of 5/10 with return of ~.8% Set Up: Super simple UI and UX - takes less than 5 minutes to create profile and very fast identification verification within 1-2 days Speed: From depositing funds via bank transfer to investing takes about ~3 days. 1. You get a fast SMS notification of funds received 2. 2-3 days later those funds are deposited. Support: Feedback on product is taken very seriously - the team will implement simple changes within days which was really cool!Comments (0)20
- This investment platform is a game changer! Highly user friendly, fits into anyone (new, amateur or professional). Processes are simple and easily understandable. I have been using Smartly since 2 months ago, investment is quick compared to many other traditional investment services, with clear details of how your investment is performing. Highly recommended to all!Comments (0)10
