I am a fresh graduate, looking to start my investment journey through ETF. I can safely manage $300 monthly. Is it a good amount to start?

I am looking to buy into STI ES3 and IWDA as a start to have an exposure to both local and international market. STI through POSB or FSMone, and IWDA through Stanchart. Is $150 a month for each ETF enough to start?

Would suggest you to do a lump sum (e.g invest every quarter) instead of monthly as your amount is quite small. If you do it as $150/month, you’ll be incurring quite a hefty brokerage fee. Also, in my opinion, STI isn’t really worth investing tbh as the returns just isn’t as attractive compared to the international market. Perhaps you can consider replacing it with EIMI. With IWDA and EIMI, your portfolio will be pretty diversified.

Hi I’m a fresh graduate that has just started working. Has just made a lump sum investment on NIKKO STI ETF ($7k) at $2.6 per share and going to DCA at $300 monthly. Anyone has advice on Nikko AM STI ETF Investing Strategy?

I am currently invested in bonds, STI ETF, DIY stocks and excess short term cash in cash management account, where else will be good to pump in another $10k or should I DCA the amount monthly?

I want to start my invest journey. I have opened my FSM and CDP account but I have no investing knowledge. Where do I start from if I am looking at a high 5 figure amount to invest?

Fresh graduate who is thinking of starting my investment with Stashaway. Is now a good time to start investing with the recent low market?

I’ve just started working and with that I also started learning how to invest. Currently, my plan is to RSP $100 into STI ETF, Stashaway and Syfe per month. Would that be a good starting point?
