Is it worth it to buy STI ETF or overseas ETF instead?

Regarding the STI ETFs , they have poor capital gains , lack diversification and also uncertainty in Singapores future and uncertainty that the dividends will remain high. Should I still buy them or go all IWDA?

I was thinking maybe a 60/40 or 70/30 split between IWDA and STI

You have mentioned quite alot of negative aspects of STI ETF. Won't it be quite ironic if you are gotta allocate capital into it? Maintain your objectivity. Do not make your decision to invest because it is a popular fund in Singapore or your friends and relatives have invested in it etc.

Have a systematic approach to decide what is good and not good in your opinion. I wrote something similar at https://seedly.sg/questions/can-review-my-portf....

Hope it helps.

Apart from buying STI ETF with $100 monthly (RSP), what other option worth investing which might give better return over long period (5yrs and above)?

Is Nikko AM STI ETF and Singapore Airlines stock still worth to buy, knowing that Singapore stock has going bad?

What's the cheapest platform for me to buy $1000SGD worth of STI ETF?

Should I buy stocks (E.g. Nikko AM STI ETF, Keppel Infrastructure Trust, Overseas stocks) for a stable dividend return as a 19 year-old investor?
