The power of ETFs: Building strength in any market

ETFs are now one of the simplest ways to invest in global markets, yet many investors still feel unsure about the basics. What exactly is an ETF, how does it work, and how can it support your long-term investment goals?

Join Wong Wai Ken, StashAway Malaysia Country Manager, for a clear and beginner friendly introduction to ETF investing. Ken will explain how ETFs provide instant access to broad markets, how a single ETF can give you exposure to entire indexes, such as the S&P500, or themes like Gold, and why they have become a core building block for long-term portfolios.

The session will also cover how StashAway’s ETF Explorer allows investors to discover more than 80 expert-selected ETFs across global markets. Instead of choosing between many similar ETFs in the open market, ETF Explorer presents a curated view so you can focus on opportunities that align with your goals.

What we’ll uncover:

• What an ETF is and how it works in simple terms
• Why ETFs are a useful foundation for long-term investing
• How a single ETF offers diversified exposure to global markets
• How ETF Explorer makes it easy to explore global opportunities with confidence

If you want a clearer and more grounded understanding of ETF investing, this session will provide you with the foundation to get started.
