SINGAPORE – The local share market is hardly a hotbed of investor action these days, but it does serve as a useful springboard for first-timers looking to dip their toes into stock trading.
“From the perspective of a young person who is starting out to learn to invest, there is no better sandbox,” notes Mr Lawrence Tan, content lead and lead trainer at the Institute for Financial Literacy. However, he adds that the market here is small and “a bit lacking” in dynamism, so investors will look for opportunities elsewhere as they become more experienced.
