Tips on what to read up on if i want to start investing and what type of investment is best for low capital (student)?

Hey! I've been there before. The first step is to read up, books such as

1) The Boglehead's Guide to Investing
2) The Intelligent Investor (Classic for Value investing)

I would recommend for a start, dollar cost average into an ETF using FSMone such as VOO for their low cost and decent returns. (I'm up 20% since start of 2020 without any thinking on my part). Afterwards, you can dabble into stock picking either through value investing or growth investing (finding companies with growth potential). Currently, I'm using Firstrade for their no commisions.

You can follow me on YouTube, A Better Manth to learn more about Personal Finance in Singapore.

Look out for regular savings plan and robo advisors. They allow a low entry point and let's us buy into a basket of stocks at a low cost. Next you can then slowly research into the basket of stocks to find out more about how it moves and all.
