Beyond FX: What really drives your long-term returns

With renewed attention on Trump’s economic policies and a weaker US dollar in recent months, many investors are asking how currency movements affect their portfolios.

In this webinar, we’ll break down how currency exposure actually works in your StashAway portfolio. You’ll learn how much is truly exposed to USD and how the rest is spread across global markets and currencies.

We’ll also show how this global diversification helps cushion the impact of FX fluctuations and why, over time, it’s the underlying asset performance — not short-term currency moves — that matters most.

If you're looking for a clearer understanding of how to evaluate your returns in MYR, this session is for you.

What you’ll learn:

✅ The difference between USD denomination and actual currency exposure

✅ How global diversification helps manage currency volatility

✅ How asset performance shapes long-term returns more than FX

✅ Will Trump’s policies end the US dollar’s dominance

This webinar is perfect for:

• Investors who want deeper context behind their returns
• Investors concerned about currency fluctuations
• Those curious about how StashAway portfolios are globally built

Join us and walk away with the clarity you need to invest with confidence — no matter how currencies move next.
