Would you recommend ETFs or robo-advisors for a new investor?

For a fresh grad, who doesn't have a lot of capital, do you have any recommendations?

It’s quite hard to answer this question without knowing which exact ETF (asset class or geography wise) or which robo-advisor you’re looking at. However if the robo-advisor assists in providing a good, diversified portfolio for you or advocates somewhat of a regular-savings plan invested into conservative long-term allocations, that could be a good start as opposed to making a singular call into a specific ETF.

As a new investor, should I purchase ETFs using POSB invest-saver or using Robo-advisors (Stashaway/Smartly)? If I use robo advisors, will the returns be lesser/affected due to currency impact?

Would you recommend investing with a robo-advisor or investing into ETFs for a beginner? Why?

Is it ok to invest using multiple robo-advisors or better to stick to maybe just 1 (or max 2) ? I am a new investor and have currently invested into 3 robo-advisors. What are your thoughts?

It’s not a big amount but what should I do with $800? Keep in my bank or invest in a robo-advisor? If robo-advisor, which would you recommend and what portfolio?

Thinking to shift my funds out of robo-advisors to actually picking the ETFs myself. Should I still be following the ETFs available in robo-advisors? Or what should I be buying for ETFs?
