Wouldn’t it be better if I just ‘customise’ my own STI ETF by taking maybe say only the top 5 performing stocks within the ETF instead of investing in STI ETF?

Currently in my first year of work and have been investing 25% of my monthly take-home into POSB invest-saver & bonds (80% into STI ETF , 20% into SSB) and 25% into savings. Looking to diversify out of SG market once it hits $10k. Suggestions?

What are your thought about philip sing income etf? For long term investment, is it better than sti etf?

I'm currently putting in $100/mth into STI ETF and $1000 into SSB. I am looking at next is investing in REITS through a brokerage. Should I buy a lot or 1000 shares if I have around 1k-5k to invest?

Which is a better option? Invest in ETF or SSB? Newbie here. 21 years old still studying but working full time. Would really want to start "investing"?
