Robo vs DIY ETFs: Robo advisors charge 0.5%โ€“0.8% per year on top of underlying fund fees. Over 20 years on RM100,000, this extra cost is RM20,000โ€“40,000. DIY ETF investing via Bursa or Moomoo at 0.10%โ€“0.20%/year saves substantially. Robos are worth the premium for hands-off investors who would otherwise not invest.

StashAway: Best for Goal-Based Investing

StashAway offers risk-indexed portfolios (lower risk for short-term goals, higher for long-term). Their ERAA (Economic Regime-based Asset Allocation) algorithm shifts between asset classes based on economic conditions. Good for beginners who want more sophistication than a single balanced fund.

Wahed Invest: Best for Islamic Investors

Fully Shariah-certified by a credible Shariah Advisory Board. Invests in Halal US equities, sukuk, gold, and Malaysian REITs. For Muslim investors who want professional Islamic portfolio management at low cost, Wahed is the leading choice in Malaysia.
