I’m confused with the different types of platforms and types like ETF, Unit trust, bonds. .. Ifast, StashAway… like there’s so many names & terms. Can someone break it down pls..

I only understand that one is platform the other is products and every platform has different products. But that’s all.. any guide to decide which I should use?

It's impossible for me to explain everything at once I guess so perhaps you can look these terms up on a reliable site like investopedia first to get a basic understanding of these terms first!
