 StashAway Co-founder and CEO, Michele Ferrario, shares, “Juan is one of the brightest minds in Malaysia. We trust that his deep understanding of Malaysia will help us build StashAway into a world-class company that helps Malaysians build their wealth.”

 “I have always been interested in businesses that are able to provide access to products and services to wider demographics, utilising technology and innovative business models. StashAway is one such company, as it offers the Malaysian public a sophisticated investment platform at a low cost,” says Mr Harris on joining StashAway’s Advisory Committee.

 The company’s core offering is personalising and managing sophisticated, convenient investments to retail and accredited investors alike. In addition to expanding internationally and developing more investment products and features, StashAway is amplifying its offering to High Net Worth Individuals, with a dedicated Wealth Advisor in both Singapore and Malaysia now in place, and more benefits for private clients to be announced in the coming months.
