After setting aside emergency fund, for investing mainly in ETFs and stocks, are there ratio allocation for these usually?

Plan to buy and hold long term, just not sure if there need to be allocation % between ETF vs individual stock?

No right proportion, if you are good at picking stocks, then go for stocks as potentiall higher return + no expense ratio (etf does) but higher risk too. otherwise, take a diversified approach and go for etfs.

I have money set aside for emergency funds, and also in to STI ETF and SSB. Looking to move on to my next step of investment. Should I go for dividend stocks or growth stocks?

How would you allocate a $15K portfolio in you were a beginner? And why? Emergency funds and all already set aside so $15K solely for investments. Any advice?

27M- i have 6 months of income stashed away as emergency funds. i also have 6 investments comprising of a range e.g bonds,etf, ilp. i also have money set aside for big expenses like house etc?

I'm 28. After setting aside 12 months emergency fund, do I still need to allocate money to savings? Or should I use my spare cash to invest or top up CPF?

I have set aside 1 year of emergency fund. Other than that, is there anything else that I need to set aside for before taking it to invest?
