I am trying to create more awareness of the advantages of
investing in an index fund or an exchange traded fund such as the
STI ETF. STI ETF is an exchange traded fund which tracks the
Straits Times Index but is also traded on the stock exchange. It is
suitable for those who wish to play a passive management role in
the stock market and have the ability to hold equities for the long
run. Over time, it is likely that it will generate positive
returns. I have blogged a series of posts that discusses about the
STI ETF in detail such as an explanation on it, likely returns, how
to buy it etc. You can see it here if you are interested. I hope it helps.
