What would be some advice given to new investors?

Don't let greed take over you.

Hey! It's 2 months. Did you start on anything?

There will be lots of people who will advise you on how to invest in different asset class, platform, strategy etc etc . Also, some of them will champion how their way beat/destroy the market average or other active investor out there. There's no need to get torn between different or conflicting opinions, take your time to read through all of them, digest and come out with an investment style that not only appeal to you but suit you long-term

The most important thing to rmb is that as long you are investing consistently, long-term and able to acheive at least an annualised return of 2.5% (to combat inflation rate / exceed CPF OA interest rate), you are already on the path of success.

Sometimes, its more vital to have investment EQ than IQ. All the best​​​

Hey there!

I would advice you to explore and listen to seminars to know what is in the market and what you feel might be suitable for you. Dont sign up first!

Get investing books to read and understand what has worked rather than what juicy returns certain platforms say they can achieve.

Warren Buffet has been around for decades so you can ask yourself who else is rich from investing.
