Hi Anon,

Minimise fees but put in some work (open broker account, place trades): ETFs.

Average fees but little work (open account, choose portfolio): Robos.

High fees but no work (FA/bank rep settle everything for you): MF/UT.

Personally, I choose ETFs because minimise fees = minimise loss. No one can guarantee your investment returns, so you do what you can by minimising losses.

Hope this helps & all the best!

Never: mutual funds (terrible annual fees 1-2.5 %, often underperformance over longterm (several years) compared to own given index, check pdf fund factsheets to see these truths).

always: well diversified large and low fees physically replicated accumulating passive stock ETFs

(like ticker ISAC)
