Is investing in the STI-ETF more suitable for long term investors (looking at more than 4-5 years)?

Hi,

Please don't place a time horizon of 4-5 years for yourself at such a young age. Why do you wish to only invest 4 - 5 years? Do you need investment capital for something? Why are you starting to invest?
These questions will help you with your investment journey. While many of the comments below are talking about finding more information, my recommendation is to start while you can (with a low-risk option) AND find out about investments and its related knowledge to slowly refine your portfolio!

Of course, do look for a trusted advisor to clear your doubts with regards to investments and its intricacies, you can DM me if you have any questions!

Hi anon, I am a uni student too, rather than investing the $100-200 into STI-ETF, I recommend that you build your warchest to buy stocks that will give you better returns than the STI. Don’t be afraid of losing your capital, we are at the age whereby we should be making plenty of mistakes!
