If they perform below their initial set goal, rebalance the portfolio to improve long-term investment performance.

As geopolitical tensions rise and investors become increasingly anxious, Samuel Rhee, chairman and CIO of Endowus, discussed the impact war and conflicts have on financial markets. Many wars have had minimal impact on the existing trajectory of markets, and markets have weathered more than their fair share of geopolitical events over the years. The worst thing for markets is not war but the uncertainty that creates volatility. On the bright side, the stock market normally prices in risks quickly, reassesses growth and earnings, and moves forward as it has always done.
As we approach the end of 2023, Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, shared six steps that investors should take to properly review and adjust their long-term investment plans for 2024.

Steffanie Yuen, Endowus’ Head of Hong Kong, explained what trailer fees are and why Endowus chose to operate on a fee-only distribution model. Hong Kong is constantly ranked as one of the most expensive jurisdictions to buy funds where investors are charged various fees that eat into their returns. Endowus rebates 100% of the trailer fees received from fund houses to ensure that the firm is aligned with its clients’ interests to find the best products and the lowest cost.
Hong Kong’s wealth market is almost twice the size of Singapore’s, reaffirming its position as an important regional wealth management hub.

Steffanie Yuen, Endowus’ Head of Hong Kong, introduced Endowus as Hong Kong’s first fee-only, non-commission-based, conflict-free digital wealth management and fund platform to offer better advice to clients at a fairer cost.
Gregory Van, CEO of Endowus, highlights the disparity where a commission-based sales model of wealth management firms often leads to misaligned advice and Hong Kong investors paying high fees that eat into their returns. Endowus aims to address such pain points through its institutional share class access and 100% cashback on trailer commissions. To date, Endowus has saved its clients US$40m (HK$312m).
To deal with the rising costs of raising children, Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus shared tips for aspiring parents.

Women should assess their monthly expenses, and cut down on non-essential expenses to avoid lifestyle creep.

Steffanie Yuen, Endowus’ Head of Hong Kong, outlined the costs associated with investing in stocks and funds.

Samuel Rhee, Chairman and CIO of Endowus, opined that Gen AI will not be used to solve investing problems of timing the market, but instead helps improve the customer experience and operational efficiencies. Most importantly, Gen AI will provide the much-needed customisation that is important for clients within the wealth management industry.
As fixed income markets head into a third consecutive year of losses, investors should assess the likely fallout from higher-for-longer interest rates. Samuel Rhee, co-founder and CIO at Endowus, shared that it is hard to predict where interest rates are heading, and growth, as the only silver lining, is the biggest risk to future returns for equity and bond markets. Therefore, amidst the unpredictability in a growth-scarce environment, quality is what matters. Quality growth in equities and higher-quality credit in the fixed income markets have performed relatively better and are likely to continue to do so.
Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, shared about Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a wealth management hub, emphasising its geographical advantage and role as a gateway to clients in Mainland China.

What are trailer fees? Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, defined common financial jargon and explained the impact of incurring trailer fees.

Investors are encouraged to look out for such hidden costs in their investments.
Generation X, i.e. the sandwich generation often struggle to balance their personal life and the financial needs of dependents. Steffanie Yuen, Endowus’ Head of Hong Kong, shared four key principles for Gen X individuals planning to invest. One should first establish an emergency fund that covers household expenses for 3-6 months, before reviewing their short-term financial goals for the next five years. Subsequently, adopt a core satellite allocation framework that suits one’s long-term plans before considering a more aggressive investment approach.
Gregory Van, CEO of Endowus, highlighted the broken wealth experience within the banking and financial industry where investors are charged high commission fees due to a conflict of interest between the distributors and clients. Endowus established the fee-only model by rebating all trailer commissions back to the client to tackle the issue and offer greater accessibility to best-in-class products as well as advisory services, to serve the best interests of clients.
Why are interest rates getting higher? Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, defined various macroeconomic terms and shared the pros and cons of a high-interest rate environment for consumers and investors.

In this op-ed, Samuel Rhee, Chairman and CIO of Endowus unpacked two key factors that prevent individuals from investing: When individuals are afraid of losing money, and when individuals feel like they already lost money due to not buying when the market was up.

Investors are advised to stick to a regular investment plan as the markets will generate returns in the long run.

Keeping a list of annual financing considerations - expenses, debt, savings, insurance, and investment portfolio - helps to track their financial progress, and plan a suitable investment strategy for 2024.

Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong, discussed the pros and cons of clearing housing mortgages in a high interest rate environment. Those who pay off their mortgages early do so to reap the benefits of shortening the repayment period while reducing the total repayment amount. However, this results in lower asset liquidity which compromises emergency funds while increasing opportunity costs of investing in other products. Investors can thus opt for shorter-term, cash management products such as money market funds.
As immigration has become increasingly popular among Hong Kong residents, Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus shared four financial tips for those looking to immigrate.

Adopting a goal-based, long-term investing strategy allows women to hedge against inflation, and build wealth steadily through the power of compounding interest, ensuring peace of mind during their retirement years. Investors should also establish clear financial goals and invest consistently to ensure that they stay invested.
Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus shared tips for buying a property in HK. In addition to mortgage costs, buyers should consider the objective of the purchase, their individual cash profile, and personal circumstances. Buyers also have to stress test their finances in the event that HK’s mortgage rates increase and consider the hidden costs such as management fees and property insurance. It is good practice to set aside an emergency fund to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Before relocating, always research thoroughly, calculate your estimated monthly expense, and readjust your budget accordingly. Those looking to relocate overseas should consider building a pot of savings in that local currency to hedge against potential fluctuations.
Samuel Rhee, Chairman and CIO at Endowus went on Bloomberg Markets Asia to discuss the impact of recent global market movements. He highlighted that market growth is stronger than expected and inflation has come off despite the Fed rate hikes, the Ukraine war, and bankruptcies of US banks. While emerging markets were hit hard by a stronger US dollar, the public market is performing better as the stock market supply has been increasing. However, as demand for Alts grows and companies choose to remain private longer, private markets continue to generate greater potential and broadened opportunities.

With retirement adequacy shaping up to be the greatest generational challenge of our time, how can wealth managers level the financial playing field for more individuals? Penned by Gregory Van, CEO of Endowus for the World Economic Forum, this commentary discusses the impact of inflation and poor industry practices on retirement adequacy.

In the battle of incumbents vs digital wealth platforms, our head of Hong Kong, Steffanie Yuen, explains Endowus' advantage in offering lower fees, by democratising access to institutional share class funds to bring down the overall cost of investing.

Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, discussed how those retired, or close to retirement, should manage their money. As this demographic transitions into the decumulation phase, they become more dependent on the pot of assets they have set aside to sustain themselves in their silver years. Proper wealth planning is crucial to ensure enough assets to cover basic expenses and retire comfortably. Investors are encouraged to consider moderate to low-risk investment options, such as fixed income and dividends to fulfil their short-term cash flow needs.
The Sandwich Generation often bear the financial responsibilities that come with caring for children and parents.

They should also aim to save 20% of their annual income from the age of 25.
The 2023 Endowus Wealth Insights report has revealed that Hong Kong-based individuals are much more confident of economic recovery compared with those in Singapore.

Hong Kong investors are significantly more optimistic (53%) about their financial health in 2023 than those in Singapore (39%), according to the Endowus Wealth Insights Report 2023.

More Hong Kong respondents (54%) are willing to take on some risk to grow their capital this year, as compared to Singaporeans (41%).
The Endowus Wealth Insights Report found that inflation and the increase in the cost of goods and services remain the biggest financial concern in 2023 among respondents in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, discussed key strategies to ride out market volatility. Firstly, investors should clearly define their purpose for investing and long-term goals.

As generational wealth is shifting, Steffanie Yuen, Endowus’ Head of Hong Kong, discussed how wealth managers should cater to HNW and UNHW families by expanding their multi-generational offerings.

Industry players must consider providing more value to end-to-end user engagements, while ensuring full transparency of their services to build trust among their clients.
Joyce Liu, Endowus Senior Client Advisor, shared tips for young working adults and how they should approach investing and financial planning. Young individuals who leave cash in saving accounts are not effectively growing their funds amid an inflationary environment. For those with short-term goals, cash management funds would be a good solution. Instead of timing the market and chasing trends, young adults should also do the necessary research and start investing early to enjoy the benefits of compounding.
Steffanie Yuen, Head of Hong Kong at Endowus, laid out the different fees involved in the investment process. Investors should understand their true cost of investing, as fees can eat into a significant portion of their eventual returns. Although it is tempting for investors to time the market to achieve optimal outcomes, it is impossible to monitor all investments while beating prices consistently. Hence, to maximise their returns in the long run, investors should adopt a diversified approach to ride out market volatility.
Hong Kong investors with investable assets as low as HKD10,000 can now start building single and multi-fund portfolios via the Endowus platform, which offers over 140 funds across different asset classes from over 40 of the largest global fund managers such as BlackRock or J.P.
