I am thinking of buying index funds and would like help on how to begin buying, and if there is anything I should look out for?

I am new to buying index funds, is there anything that I should know about before I start purchasing?

Easiest was is through Robo-advisors like Autowealth and StashAway. They create and maintain a portfolio for you depending on your risk appetite. Caveat of course is a management fee (which you can avoid if you do everything yourself).

Why would one buy into a" fund" that is composed of like 5 different funds? This seems to be the case for the roboadvisor funds? Is it that theytry to have better performance than the original funds?

I would like to start a small saving fund. Purpose of fund is not confirmed eg overseas relocation, buying a flat locally or even renting. How should I go about this?

I would like to buy some stocks in foreign markets (e.g. China, India, Vietnam etc), what platform or broker should I be looking into and what are the steps to buy into foreign market?

Having a car in Singapore is like a reflection of your social status. Sometimes I feel like I need to get one to not be "looked down upon". If you are financially capable of buying a car, would you?

DBS now has a digital custodial service for cryptocurrencies and it looks like you're able to buy bitcoin through it. Would you consider buying?
