Robo-Advisors

What are your recommendations for a first timer looking at Robo-Advisors for his first investment?

I have just settled my insurance such as hospitalization and also saved up my emergency fund in the DBS Multiplier for the interest (Salary and Credit Card).
I have then done my money maths and can spare 5k to try out investments.

Reading around, it seems like not putting everything in one basket is a good idea and I am thinking of:

1k into Digiportfolio since I already have the multiplier
2k into Syfe for REITs
2k into ETFs although havent decided which robo

Would this be ok or too divided?

It is good to think about your portfolio construct first. What are the allocations you want? What ETFs do you want to go for (with the 2k)?

A simple portfolio can be Global Equities+Bond and Local REITs. Syfe can be the local REIT component and DigiPortfolio can be Global Equities+Bond part. Unless you have other ideas (e.g. more diversification into asia), then you can keep it simple as it is.
