I have 30k savings on my DBS account that I can invest anywhere. Where should I park this extra money? Is DBS fixed deposit a good idea for invest for two plus years?

Or do I invest it in digiPortfolio? I'm very new to investing and I just want my savings to go somewhere better than parking it on my savings account. I also can save 1k a month to grow my savings or for investments.
