Hi guys! I am new to ETFs and to general stock trading. Before this I only invest in properties and mutual funds. Now I am looking to purchase ETFs. I have created a Interactive Brokers Account but waiting for approval. When I transferred money from my DBS account in Spore I noticed that an account holder can invest directly to various investments. I noticed Nikko ETF and etc. Anyone tried investing online through the DBS account and if so which investment and what are your returns like?

Before anything else, you should understand that even if you have the same investment product, your returns can vary depending on your entry points.

From your reply I believe you mean that if I purchase through DBS the entry cost may be higher due to brokerage charges and exchange rate as oppose to Interactive Brokers? Anyway IB has conditionally approved my account. Excited to start my new investment journey.

Just curious: How do you guys monitor the performance? Is it daily or monthly?

Aslo I would like to ask seasoned ETF investors: If you have USD30,000 how would you spread the investment? I was thinking of starting with USD30K
