Hi everyone,

I'm 39 years old, based in Hong Kong, and I'm about to start investing for the first time. I've never invested in the stock market before, zero experience.

Here's my situation:

  • Age: 39
  • Location: Hong Kong, but probably will retire in Europe
  • Investing experience: Complete beginner
  • I have savings set aside and decent income
  • Goal: Build an extra retirement fund over the next 25 years
  • Risk tolerance: I accept dips and recovery but I don't want to lose money near retirement
  • Platform: I've signed up with Endowus HK
  • Plan: I plan Monthly contributions
  • Strategy: heavier on equity now and gradually shift to bonds as I approach retirement (glide path).

My questions:

  1. Is Endowus HK a good choice?
  2. Is the glide path strategy at age 39 the right call for a 25-year horizon? What do you suggest?
  3. Anything I'm missing or doing wrong?

Thank you very much!
