SPX500 or STI , which is better ?

Volatility wise, you can see STI is more volatile with sharp spikes (orange) compared to SPX500.

And then the green zone where both are moving in a bullish channel. SPX500 has a much smoother ride. This is important as traders might get stopped out due to tight SL.

More importantly, when all indices have risen lately due to the Fed's generous money printing, SPX500 has retraced more than 35% while STI is at a miserable 10%.

The downside is investing in SPX500 requires one to use own cash whereas in STI, we can employ our CPF (401K) to invest.

Of course, we have the global giants like Amazon, Facebook, Apple, etc in SPX500 while STI contains mainly regional or state owned companies blue chips.

From a returns point of view, I will go for SPX500.
