Hello,
Investing in the STI ETF isn't necessarily bad. Just take note that the STI ETF is more for dividend investing. i.e. You can expect tax-free dividends from the ETF, but don't expect your investment value to appreciate as much as the S&P500 ETF.
It is also probably a more cost-efficient way to invest in the local market. Buying individual stocks would cost more as you'll incur flat fees from buying through the brokerages.
For the most part, I would say your strategy isn't bad.
You have the STI ETF denominated in SGD that serves as a hedge against currency risk.
You have investments in a globally diversified portfolio for growth.
If you're unsatisfied with the performance of the STI ETF, you can consider:
Allocating more to StashAway
Purchasing SG bonds instead and increasing your risk in StashAway to allocate a higher % to equities.
Of course, the above are just suggestions, do your due diligence as well.
