And what are the average returns we can make? Do I need to know a lot to get like 10% annually?
Unknown to your risk appetite
(which is very personal and subjective)....try reading these links first before you decide that you want to get 10% annually....
Why do you invest?
Investing is not about picking the top-performing asset or the highest ranking fund. The purpose of investing is to make your money work for you. This requires investors to make informed, important and conscious decisions. Here are the questions that you must ask yourself before investing:

•How much do you really need? (Future Planning)
•How much risk can you take? (Risk Level)
•How long are you willing to wait before you see profits? (Time Horizon)

(just be aware that, PAST PERFORMANCE may not be an indicator of future returns and the funds in the sample is ONLY focused in 1 country....which is against the normal wisdom of diversification....because

well, jfi, in 2014 at 95% allocated to EQ, my returns is just 2.2%...ha-ha...put into FD can earn more than that......just for your awareness only.
