Invest in breakthrough technologies without taking on unnecessary risk.

Capture value in disruptive technologies

Investing in thematic portfolios today is like investing in early Internet companies in the 1990s. Although many Internet companies failed, enough succeeded that the rise of the Internet quite literally changed the world.

The difference in investing in thematic trends with StashAway

While thematic investing generally outperforms in the long run, it can be risky. To keep your risk under control, our portfolios include “balancing assets” to make sure your money isn’t exposed to more risk than you’re comfortable with.

Focus on the long-term wins

There are the cyclical trends that come and go with seasons, headlines, and the markets. And then there are structural trends that will fundamentally change the world as we know it. While thematic investing can be an exciting and meaningful way to participate in long-term structural trends, it works best as part of a broader, diversified investment strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Thematic Portfolios fit into my financial plan?
+

Thematic Portfolios can be a strong addition to a core investment strategy. Thematic Portfolios have a lot of long-term equity exposure, making them a great way to add diversification to your existing investment plan. Thematic Portfolios are higher risk compared to our General Investing portfolios. This means that they’re certainly not a replacement for a balanced retirement plan and other savings plans, but they do have the potential to complement long-term financial plans. If you’re a starting investor we recommend you take a look at our General Investing portfolio.

What are Thematic Portfolios?
+

Thematic Portfolios are diversified sets of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on specific, long-term structural trends shaping the global economy. They allow investors to put their capital behind the innovations and sectors they believe will drive future growth.

What are the fees involved in Thematic Portfolios?
+

Our management fees range from 0.2% to 0.8% p.a. and are based on the total value of your assets under management. There are no sales charges, withdrawal fees, or hidden costs. Standard ETF expense ratios also apply, which are charged directly by the ETF managers.

What does ‘balancing assets’ mean?
+

Balancing assets are protective investments like gold and government bonds that we include in our thematic portfolios. They help manage overall risk and volatility, ensuring that your portfolio stays within your chosen StashAway Risk Index while still capturing thematic growth.

How are the thematic ETFs selected?
+

Our investment team meticulously selects ETFs based on liquidity, expense ratios, tracking error, and the quality of the underlying assets. We only use high-quality ETFs from leading global providers like BlackRock, Global X, and State Street.
