How should I begin investing as an NSF?

Currently an NSF looking into investments after reading up on it. I want to maximise my current advantage of time and a high-risk appetite. I'm thinking of using RSS to venture into STI ETF, and robo-advisors such as Stashaway and Money Owl to get exposure to international markets. Is this a viable strategy? Will my low monthly contributions ($100 each hypothetically) hurt my profits significantly?

The low monthly contributions of $100 may seem low now but as a beginner, it is the perfect way to help you to develop the habit of setting aside some money to invest ;)

IMO, it would be better to start with some emergency savings. Depending on your preference, 3-6 months of your monthly NSF allowance should be the bare basic. Once you have settled your emergency savings, you can consider setting up DCA with Robo-advisors.

That was what I have done during my NS ('17-'19). It is good to start small with just $100 :). I did that during my NSF days and reinvested part of my extra allowances from NS activities. Small portfolio but impressive start! You will thank yourself later :).

Also, try to see from a % perspective rather than $ amount. I know it is attractive to look at the $ side heh. Trust me, I could not resist it.

Cheers~

Try to save 6 month of emergency funds before investing or udemy to upgrade yourself

Consider taking more skills and investing in more aggressive holdings.

Depends on your risk/return ...
