STRONG & CONSISTENT SMART BETA INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
13% One-Year Return for Conservative Portfolio!

2 July 2024

Latest Strong Monthly Investment Performance Proving Algorithm Effectiveness

In June 2024, all our SqSave reference portfolios (“portfolios”) beat their underlying benchmarks and referenced peers after we aligned our higher risk portfolio quantitative algorithms closer to our highly successful lower-risk algorithms. During April to June 2024, the same portfolios also beat both peers and benchmarks.

SqSave Reference Portfolios Returns (SGD terms as of 30 Jun 2024)*

*Inclusive of ETF expense ratios and net of SqSave management fees. SqSave uses AI to design and manage diversified investment portfolios for each investor. Because SqSave is not an investment fund, there is no single return measure. Instead, every SqSave investor has his/her own investment performance as each investor is managed separately by our SqSave AI. As investors can withdraw and top-up any time, investment returns will be affected by individual investor decisions. Hence, SqSave uses reference portfolios which are actual portfolios managed on an ongoing basis, without any interference with withdrawals or top-ups, to measure investment performance.

YTD Performance Beat All Tracked Peers

For Jan to Jun 2024, all our SqSave portfolios beat all referenced peers. We achieved this significantly for our two lowest-risk Conservative and Balanced portfolios. This is on top of an outstanding quantitative investment performance in 2023.

Conservative Portfolio 1-Year Returns at 13%, Twice the Rate of Peers

Our peers averaged 6% return for the trailing 1-year period, much lower than our Conservative portfolio which achieved 13%. We attribute this to our lower-risk algorithms managing drawdowns as designed. We have been observing the insights generated by our algorithms which taught us quite a bit in hindsight about human emotions versus disciplined and unbiased smart beta investing.
