General Investing

I've been reading many articles regarding why STI ETFs are great for beginners who wish to start their investing journey until I chanced upon this article recently. What are your thoughts?

I chanced upon this article from seedly https://blog.seedly.sg/dollar-cost-average-dca-... and it staeed that for someone who invests $100/mth in DBS SRRP, his returns is a mere $900 after saving for EIGHT (!!!) years! Then, putting the money in endowment plans would have yielded higher returns. What are your views on the article?

If u r contented with maybe 2-3% dividend per annum and safe investment. This is good.

Though i suggest u read up more if really interested in investing

Hello, i went to look at the article. From what I gather, the $900 only refers to dividend yields from the investment. The actual yield should be more.

I started investing w STI-ETF since 2015, $100/mth but recently stopped investing. I've invested in total $7.8k but its current val is at $6092.07.?

I am planning to start my investment journey with ETFs. How do I determine if i should start investing in SPDR STI ETF (ES3) or NIKKO AM STI ETF (G3B) first? What is the difference between both?

As a student with little cash at hand, how should I begin my investment journey? I've read a lot of personal finance articles so I am familiar with terms like ETFs, Index Funds, bonds etc.?

I started my investment journey recently by DCA into STI ETF. I’m seeing positive returns in my account as the index is currently on the rise. Should I continue or withdraw to put the money into Robo?

26 working, have been saving and never invest before. Thought I should start investing and have been reading up. Plan to invest ~100k in ETFs and perhaps reits, stocks, any advice how I should start?
