To buy S&P500, should I get directly from simple index funds / ETF or some Roboadvisor?
If I'd like to get a simple index funds / ETF to just buy S&P500, should I just get the "Infinity US 500 stock index SGD"

or via some Roboadvisor ?
In terms of cost, isn't it more cost effective to just get the index funds ? buy and hold for long term ?

Hey there, I honestly think you are much better off just buying S&P500 - Technically itself is already a "fund". Buying through other funds means more commissions and fees involved. You can actually open a US brokerage account, such as Interactive Brokers which charges like 1USD comms. Way more logical!
