SQSAVE RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF MARKET TURBULENCE

4 October 2023


This year has been a rollercoaster for global markets. But even in the face of challenges, SqSave continues to stand out with our proven strategy and steady performance. Let’s delve into our performance for September 2023.

September Hurdles Overcome

September has historically been a tough month for US markets, and this year was no exception. It was the worst month for the US market Year-to-Date (YTD). Despite this, we at SqSave are pleased to announce that we have not only weathered the storm but also continued to outperform both our benchmarks and competitors YTD.

SqSave Reference Portfolios Returns Summary (SGD terms as at 30 September 2023)*

*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. ** Performance numbers for competitors are estimates. Abbreviations: BMK: Benchmark; Ret: Return, T2Y: Annualized Time Weighted Return

Key Takeaways:

  1. 9 months to 30 September 2023 (YTD): Even with the challenges faced in September, our resilience shines through. While the US market had its worst month, our portfolios still managed to outperform our benchmarks and competitors YTD. Our consistency in performance underlines the strength of our strategies and expertise.
  2. Trailing One Year (T1Y): Our portfolios reflect our commitment to steady growth and risk management. While our low-risk portfolios excelled by beating both benchmarks and competitors, our high-risk portfolios faced challenges yet generally performed commendably in the broader landscape.
  3. Trailing Two Year (T2Y): The majority of SqSave reference portfolios have either matched or outperformed their respective benchmarks, highlighting our consistency in delivering results.
