Invest with insights from BlackRock^®

Both General Investing portfolios are designed to deliver long-term outperformance of their benchmarks. Where they differ is in their asset allocation strategy.

General Investing powered by StashAway keeps a portfolio’s risk exposure constant while optimising for long-term returns, which means you can expect occasional deviation from how the markets are doing in order to keep your risk level constant.

General Investing powered by BlackRock® provides broader market exposure, which means you can expect ups and downs that follow market trends.

For StashAway General Investing portfolios that are powered by BlackRock, BlackRock provides StashAway with non-binding asset allocation guidance.

All General Investing portfolios available on StashAway are suitable for long-term investors. They are designed to outperform their respective benchmarks in the long term.

So how are the General Investing portfolios different?

In the pursuit of long-term returns, the objective of General Investing and Responsible Investing powered by StashAway is to keep a portfolio’s risk constant so that the investor is never overexposed to risk when seeking returns. What this could mean is that a StashAway-powered portfolio might behave better or worse than market conditions at times in order to keep risk constant.

In contrast, General Investing powered by BlackRock provides an investor broader exposure to the market, which results in an investing experience that generally follows the ups and downs of the markets. So which one should you have?

You may want to ask yourself whether you prefer a risk-first approach or a strategy that follows the markets. Given that they have different approaches to achieving long-term results, some clients may prefer to diversify their investment strategies by having both.

Remember, whichever you choose, these are long-term investment strategies. Successful investing depends on deposit behaviour, so we highly recommend dollar-cost averaging to get the most out of any General Investing portfolio.
