Hi!

FinTech is basically an upcoming trend globally. However, there is a wider impact in Singapore and other parts of Asia-Pacific because these are the developing markets of the world. Markets like Europe and United States are already developed and thus, the scope for a new idea to have major impact is lower.

Happy investing!

Well Europe is not bad as well due to nice established financial centre (London) and with fairly easy/friendly regulatory umbrella (EU - Brexit changing things tho). Each place has it's own pluses and minuses (eg US fragmented state-by-state market but great tech talent)
In terms of Singapore/Asia - the strength is that being a younger/less developed market there is less legacy issues to deal with and incumbents less established, particularly in newer fields. As a result lots of blue ocean that has potential for good returns and hence attractive to investors.

I'm a beginner investor but just wondering what are some mistakes I can learn from so that I don't have to learn the hard way. What are some common mistakes even seasoned investors make?

Do you think that with Singapore to host World Economic Forum Special Annual Meeting in May reflects greater investor confidence in Singapore in the long run?

I'm strategizing a core and satellite ETF portfolio for retirement. I plan to hold and buy long-term (15 yrs) for the core part. However, does it make sense to do the same for the satellite part?

Who pays for the spread and expense ratio if you invest in robo advisors like Stashaway? I understand they charge a 0.5% management fee, are there hidden costs like the spread and expense ratio that Stashaway is not making clear to investors?
