How do I get started on investing? I’m a complete beginner & have been doing some research but there’s a lot of different views and opinions on what to invest in and what platform to use.

Hi Anon,

​

Personally, I think the best way is to start off with roboadvisors. This will provide you with the exposure to the market which helps you to make sense of all the articles/videos you came across online about investment. I think investment is like swimming, where you can start to make sense of the theory taught only after you gotten yourself into the pool.

​

After which, you can try to see which "swimming stroke" you will wish to specialise in (what you wish to purchase), and if you like to really spend a very long time in the swimming pool for each visit, or if you rather to just go for a short dip each time (investing vs trading).

​

All the best, and stay safe in such crazy times.
