Unit Trusts!

Hi im a noob here planning to go into investing. Lets say if u plan to DIY, what are the things you must actually study or look into before you commit into a certain stock?

Thanks!

There are few sites that I found it quite good to start in UT, Fundsupermart (FSM), Dollardex, POEMS. I still found FSM site offers better managed information, you can see the getting started portion to understand Unit Trust better. But, I recommend to go with Dollardex or POEMS, as FSM has platform fee to charge every quarter, which is not good for long term.

Other option is to buy ETF, e.g. STI ETF. Currently STI is quite high already, so if you don't want to start too fast, you can buy monthly using POEMS Sharebuilder Plan (SBP). You can also invest monthly to other SG bluechip. However, SBP only has option to invest in SG market. UT offers wider more diversified option.

How much capital do you have and how long or short a time do you want to be investing? These are the questions you can ask youreslf first.
