STI Exchange Traded Fund

Hi Mr Tan,

I'm interest for the low cost fund for STI ETF. However I'm really not sure how to start or choose the fund.

1) Is the STI ETF a secure funds to invest for long term? I understand that the STI is just a "counter"?

Reply: The STI is invested in 30 counters that make part of the Straits Times Index. It is traded on the exchange as a "counter", but the value of this counter is based on the underlying counters.
