Did you know?
Gold outperformed the S&P 500 across seven market crises since 2007. From the Global Financial Crisis to COVID-19, it’s one of the few assets that has held up when both stocks and bonds were under pressure. Gold has served as a store of value for thousands of years and that role still holds in modern markets.
Gold is money. Everything else is credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What criteria does StashAway use to choose ETFs for ETF Explorer?
We carefully select a representative ETF for each investment idea. Our investment team conducts in-depth analysis across the universe of ETFs in each asset class, focusing on cost-efficiency (including tax optimisation), historical performance, and risk management. This ensures we’re choosing ETFs that are both high-quality and cost-effective for your portfolio.
Why does StashAway sometimes choose US-listed ETFs over UCITS ETFs?
While UCITS-listed ETFs offer a lower withholding tax rate of 15% on dividends compared to US-listed ETFs with 30%, our investment team evaluates ETFs based on the total cost of ownership and long-term performance. This includes factors such as tracking quality, expense ratio, liquidity, dividend reinvestment mechanics, and index replication efficiency.
Over longer horizons, some US-listed ETFs might have structural advantages, including lower fees, tighter spreads, and better tracking, which more than offset the withholding tax difference. Our ETF lineup is continuously reviewed to ensure it meets our standards for cost-efficiency, liquidity, and performance.
How is the risk level for assets on ETF Explorer calculated?
The Risk Level is a measure of risk, expressed as a percentage, whereby in any given year, there is a 99% probability that you won’t lose more than this percentage in terms of the portfolio’s value.
These are the Risk Level brackets:
- Very Conservative: Up to 7%
- Conservative: 8-13%
- Moderate: 14-19%
- Balanced: 20-25%
- Aggressive: 26-32%
- Very aggressive: 33% and more
For example, in a worst-case scenario, there's a 99% chance a Balanced portfolio won't lose more than 25% of its value in any given year.
Generally, a higher Risk Level percentage denotes a more risky portfolio, and thus should be accompanied by a longer-term investment horizon.
