My parents (age 54/58) used to be self-employed, currently semi-retired. Their CPF OA/SA/RA has only 2-3k inside though their medisave has about 40-50k. What happens to the monies when they reach 65?

Would you recommend investing in both Syfe's Core Balanced and Equity100 portfolios? I'm thinking of investing the same amount in the 2 portfolios using the dollar cost average strategy.

I am thinking of investing 2-3k in Keppel DC REIT, Parkway Life REIT and ABF Bond ETF. Any recommendations on which platforms to use?

I’ve been researching the various apps available and decided I want to invest in 2-3 ETF indexes for the Long run. What’s is the best place to buy ETFs for least transaction cost? Any advice for my strategy?

Can I start investing small amounts, say $100 to $300? I am still in uni but I would like to start investing! I am still new to this whole investing topic so I would like to get some advice?
