If i RSP into 2 ETFs monthly, AAXJ (MSCI Core Asia Ex Japan) and VT (Vanguard Total World Stock), is this a good diversification?
This is on top of putting in $100-$150 into roboadvisors like syfe and stashaway too

Actually why not just focus on your Robo-advisors if you starting base is not high. (Eg $100 to $200) a month.
Diversification to me only would make sense at any amounts larger than $10,000 because of the concept around "don't putting eggs in one basket" holds true.

Essentially, by choosing this two ETFs, you're taking VT (a world index ETF) and increasing the Asia...

Hi Anon,
I think your ETF portfolio itself is fine! Those are 2 good ETFs to own. However, do note that since you're also invested in Syfe and SA, you more than likely have significant overlap in terms of a world ETF. If that's what you want, then that's fine. Otherwise, you may want to consider cutting down on one of them (perhaps a Robo due to the fees).
Also, another thing to note would be how much you pay in fees for your RSPs as a % of your investment. Ie if you RSP $100 and pay $1 in fees, that's a 1% fee which is quite high, in which case you're better off using a Robo as of now until you can set aside a bigger amount, or if you shift some of your allocations from Robos to the RSP.
Hope this helps & all the best!
