StashAway rolls out new semi-liquid market portfolios

The new funds are positioned as alternatives to traditional private market vehicles.

StashAway has introduced two new semi-liquid private market portfolios — Private Infrastructure and Private Equity — for investors in Hong Kong and Singapore.

The offerings aim to provide broader access to private markets with lower investment minimums, monthly liquidity, and cost-effective fees.

The portfolios are managed by Hamilton Lane, a global private markets investment firm with $7.47t (US$956b) in assets under management. Both portfolios target high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) classified as Professional Investors.

The new funds are positioned as alternatives to traditional private market vehicles, which typically require high capital commitments and long lock-up periods of 10 to 15 years.

In contrast, StashAway’s portfolios offer monthly liquidity after an initial lock-up and charge lower fees — a 0.5% platform fee in addition to fund-level fees, compared to private banks that may charge up to 3.5%.

Private infrastructure and credit markets are drawing increasing interest from HNWIs, with asset-class level return targets of 10–12% per annum.

According to StashAway, adding a 10% allocation to private infrastructure to a standard 60/40 portfolio between 2014 and 2024 would have improved overall returns by 5.3% and reduced volatility by 10.6%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
