I'm halfway thru uni and doing part-time during summer break. since i don't need to pay for any insurances/bills yet, do you think it's a good start to invest slowly? E.g. buying etfs every 3 months?

If you have your emergency funds set aside, then starting to invest slowly with free cash is a great idea.

​

The frequency and amount you put towards investment really depends on your situation. There are many platforms you could use. e.g. moomoo, tiger, fsm, syfe, etc. There are also regular investment plans offered by banks e.g. BCIP,etc

​

Do keep in mind that there are risks in investing. Study what you intend to invest in. A word of caution though, never invest money you cannot do without. As you are young, you can afford to focus on long term investments, unlike those who intend to retire in the next few years. As you and wait for the market to recover.

​

When I first started working, I put away my money in Fixed Deposits, as the interest rate was favourable then. Choose the investment you pick up based on the type of returns you prefer, e.g. dividend, growth, etc.

And what should he/she be investing in?
