Growth driven by leading energy storage and smart grid companies

Did you know icon

Did you know?

The US, Europe and China are collectively spending trillions of dollars to upgrade their electricity grids — infrastructure that in many cases dates back to the mid-20th century and was never designed to handle two-way flows from solar panels and batteries. Smart grids use digital sensors, advanced metering infrastructure, and AI-powered software to balance supply and demand in real time, enabling the integration of intermittent renewable energy without destabilising the grid. The International Energy Agency estimates that grid infrastructure investment needs to more than double by 2030 for the world to stay on track with its climate targets.

Frequently Asked Questions

ETF Explorer is a simple and cost-effective way to invest in ETFs across asset classes and themes. Find the right opportunity for you in minutes, and invest for just $1 USD per order.

Here’s what you can expect: 

  • Find your next investment with ease: From trending opportunities to niche thematic plays, ETF Explorer makes discovery simple. Browse asset classes, filter to your preferences, and get jargon-free explanations so you know exactly what each ETF represents and how it could fit your goals.
  • Unmatched value: Just $1 USD (excl. GST) per buy or sell order — with no additional management fee. Beyond that, our investment team analyses thousands of ETFs to identify the most cost-efficient, tax-optimised, and well-managed option for each asset class — so you can compound more returns over time.

Simple set-up: Go from idea to investment in as little as 1 minute — without sifting through thousands of tickers or wrestling with clunky brokerage interfaces.

ETF Explorer makes investing in ETFs simple. You can go from idea to investment in just a few steps:

1. Explore ETFs

Browse 80+ ETFs and investment ideas, see what’s popular, or filter to your preferences. Each ETF comes with clear explanations and key facts, so you understand what you’re investing in.

2. Choose your ETF

Once you’ve found an opportunity that you’re interested in, tap into the ETF’s detail page to review performance, top holdings, fees, and other essentials.

3. Create your portfolio

Create and fund your portfolio right away. We only charge $1 USD (excl. GST) per buy or sell order — with no additional management fee.

4. Automate if you want

Set up a recurring deposit with dollar-cost averaging, so your investments keep growing on autopilot.

You can create as many portfolios as you want.

ETF Explorer focuses on single-asset investments, letting you invest in individual ETFs. You pay $1 USD per buy or sell order — meaning fees only apply when you deposit into or withdraw from a portfolio.

Flexible Portfolios, on the other hand, allow you to build customised portfolios with multiple ETFs and set your own allocation weights. These portfolios are automatically rebalanced to maintain your chosen allocation.

Unlike ETF Explorer, Flexible Portfolios incur an annual fee based on AUM. You can see our pricing details here: https://www.stashaway.sg/pricing.
