Dugar noted: “The disjointed Southeast Asian wealth management landscape offers great potential to low-cost digital investment managers. StashAway is a regional pioneer in this sector, and we are impressed by the management team’s vision and execution.
“Their transparent pricing, robust investment methodology, and ease of use make for a compelling customer proposition.”
Eight Roads was joined in the fundraising by existing backer Asia Capital & Advisors.
A private equity business headed by Francis Rozario and Aaron Rozario, Asia Capital invested in the Pre-Series A and Series A rounds of StashAway.
