I noticed that too, but don't really have enough funds, time & expertise to go into the details of foreign bonds. So last year I decided to buy a Unit Trust focusing on foreign bonds, that gaves fixed monthly dividends. The banker that sold this to me, repeatedly reminded me that this is a high risk investment. However it would be better than me putting my money in 2-3 bonds.

Agree with Luke on the advantages of a foreign bond fund. Plus it is tracked in Sing dollar, so don't feel the pain of exchange rate (doesn't mean it don't exist).

Hi, I'll like to start investing in ETFs monthly with $100 and I'm considering between DBS Invest Saver and OCBC Blue Chip Investment Plan. Any advice on which option will give better returns?

Being new to investing, I am thinking of buying into Tech stocks because the returns look solid and ETFs and bonds returns seem very low. Should I do that?

Which is better: DIY invest @ S$100 /month in each of 4 ETF RSP by Nikko-Am (STI , ABF, REIT, Corp. Bond) for a year on DBS invest saver OR digiportfolio Asia for $4000 at once, if I can afford both?

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)?

Based on your opinion, will buying STI ETF using DCA method on long term basis (more than 10 years) yield 4 - 6% annual returns? Is it a good investment? Thank you. ?
