Considering that I'm a beginner in investing, should I invest in STI ETF?

Personally I’m not very interested in investing in the Singapore market. But I always come across advice saying to invest in STI ETF. I’m also a beginner investor. What should I do?

The worst to invest in an index ETF is STI ETF...

"What should I do?" - Start researching your butt off :) Only knowledge & skills that you spent time and effort to acquire are truly yours, advice from others can only serve as a reference

The SPDR STI ETF is the cheaper one with 0.30 % expense ratio, the annualized return (calculated with all dividends reinvested !) over 10 years is ca. 4%.

The STI represents only a tiny portion of the world stock market and is financial intitutions heavy. Maybe You would like to look for a large MSCI World ETF or SP500 ETFs (to me VOO or IVV seem the best). Start early, invest regularly, buy&hold for longterm. (5-10% gold for ultra longterm seems also a good idea).

I’m thinking of starting to invest $1.5k in STI ETF and $500 in S&P next month onwards using DCA. Is it wise considering that it’s bearish for STI ETF and yet all time high for S&P ?

Hi, currently I'm investing $500 into STI ETF and $400 into StashAway (22% risk) per month. Looking into DCA into S&P 500 ETF, would that be a good strategy since I'm currently a beginner investor?

I'm a fresh grad, looking to invest 30% of my salary ($1900 after CPF). If I'm considering investing purely into equities (e.g. STI ETF, Robo), what would you recommend my asset allocation to be?

I’m graduating this year with $300 in STI ETF via RSP, and I’m interested to invest in S-REITs and global stocks ($1000 per month?). With my low investment capital, should I consider robo-advisors?

Is 70% SPDR STI ETF and 30% Nikko am Corporate bond ETF considered a safe and stable investment for a beginner?
