Did you know?

The investment-grade corporate bond market represents over $10 trillion in outstanding debt in the US alone — a market roughly comparable in size to the entire US Treasury market. Investment-grade bonds are issued by companies rated BBB- or above by credit rating agencies, reflecting a lower risk of default, though their prices still fluctuate with changes in interest rates and credit spreads. During the COVID-19 crisis of 2020, the US Federal Reserve purchased investment-grade corporate bonds for the first time in its history, underscoring their systemic importance to the financial system.

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.
