StashAway Malaysia has launched ETF Explorer, a new feature that lets Malaysians invest in global Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) across various assets and themes within minutes, without needing a foreign trading account.

The platform aims to make global investing more accessible and affordable.

While ETFs offer a cost-effective way to diversify, they can be difficult to navigate.

Traditional brokerages often overwhelm investors with thousands of options, poor user experience, and limited guidance.

ETF Explorer offers over 80 curated ETFs across equities, bonds, commodities, and themes such as US technology, artificial intelligence, and emerging markets.

Each ETF includes clear explanations to help investors understand their choices.

Investors pay a flat fee of US$1.99 per order, with no ongoing management fees.

Dividends are automatically reinvested at no extra cost, allowing returns to compound faster over time.

StashAway’s investment team screens thousands of ETFs globally to identify cost-efficient, tax-optimised, and well-managed options.

The tool is designed for investors who want to build their own portfolios with guidance, while those preferring a hands-off approach can continue using StashAway’s managed portfolios.

“Many Malaysians we spoke to felt that global investing was only for the financially savvy. But it has a place in everyone’s portfolio.

Whether you’re just getting started or already experienced, ETF Explorer makes it easy to discover global opportunities and make informed decisions that build long-term wealth.”

said Wong Wai Ken, StashAway Malaysia Country Manager.
