FSMOne vs StashAway Malaysia 2026 — FAQ

FSMOne vs StashAway — which should I choose in Malaysia?
Choose FSMOne if you want to self-select your own stocks, unit trusts, or ETFs — FSMOne charges 0% management fee (you only pay brokerage per trade). Choose StashAway if you want a fully automated, hands-off robo-advisor that rebalances for you — StashAway charges 0.8% p.a. management fee on the first RM150,000. For cost-conscious investors who can spend 30 minutes a month managing their portfolio, FSMOne is cheaper.
What is StashAway's management fee in Malaysia?
StashAway management fees (2026): 0.80% p.a. on first RM150,000; 0.70% p.a. on RM150K–RM250K; 0.60% p.a. on RM250K–RM350K; 0.50% p.a. on RM350K–RM500K; 0.40% p.a. on RM500K–RM1M; 0.30% p.a. on RM1M–RM3M. Plus underlying ETF expense ratios of ~0.15–0.25% p.a. From May 2026, a minimum monthly fee of RM5 applies (waived if you make a deposit that month).
Does FSMOne charge a management fee?
No — FSMOne does not charge a portfolio management fee or platform fee on stocks and ETFs. You only pay brokerage when you trade (0.05% for Bursa, 0.08% for US/HK stocks). Unit trusts are 0% sales charge. If you hold ETFs and don't trade frequently, your ongoing cost on FSMOne is effectively 0% + the ETF's own expense ratio.
Can FSMOne replace StashAway?
FSMOne can replace StashAway for investors willing to manage their own portfolio. On FSMOne, you can build a diversified ETF portfolio (e.g., Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) via the RSP (Regular Savings Plan) at 0% processing fee — similar to StashAway but without the 0.8% management fee. The trade-off: FSMOne requires you to choose and rebalance yourself; StashAway does it automatically.
Is StashAway regulated in Malaysia?
Yes — StashAway Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is licensed by SC Malaysia as a Digital Investment Manager (DIM) under licence eCMSL/A0352/2018. It was the first licensed robo-advisor in Malaysia. Client assets are invested in ETFs held in segregated accounts. FSMOne is separately regulated under CMSL/A0260/2009 as a full-service broker.
