The Investment Management Association of Singapore (IMAS) has produced a pretty useful guide to investing for newbies.
The handbook attempts to give an introduction to common topics like:
- Understanding Risk and Returns
- Diversification
- Bonds
- Shares
- Unit Trusts
Someone who is trying to get acquainted with investing will find the handbook useful.
The handbook can be found at this page of the IMAS website. Look under the heading “Investment Guides”, and click on the word “English” or “Chinese” for the respective versions.
