How You Can Achieve Your Next Financial Goal Sooner

Are you looking to save up for your dream wedding dress, your downpayment for your new home, or your Japan holiday fund?

It takes time and consistency to reach your financial goals, but what if we told you you could reach them sooner?

Here's how: Make your money work harder with our cash management portfolios, Simple and Simple Plus. They're:

• ultra-low risk;
• liquid

And, they help you get a return on your cash while buffering against inflation's effects.

A cash management portfolio ensures that you can access the money when you need it, without exposing it to significant market volatility. That makes it a suitable option for cash you might need in the short-term.

We offer three ultra-low risk cash management portfolios with no minimum investment that help you earn returns, based on how long you plan to invest your cash.

• StashAway Simple™: An ultra-low-risk option to keep your cash for however long you want, be it a day, a month or a year.
• StashAway Simple™ Plus: A slightly riskier option that’s suitable for cash you need for the next 12 months or more. It carries slightly higher risk than Simple, in exchange for higher returns. A longer time horizon will let your cash ride out any brief periods of volatility.
• StashAway Simple™ Guaranteed: Earn a guaranteed rate with a 6 month lock-in.
