Set a realistic goal

Dear Mr. Tan
What ETF should I be looking at if I would like to achieve a return of 10-15% p.a. Thanks.

REPLY
I am not able to advice on any product that can offer 10% to 15% p.a. I only aim for 5% to 6% p.a. for my personal investments.

Read this FAQ about investing for the long term:

If you wish to invest in the STI ETF, you have to approach a stockbroker.
Wish you all the best.
