I just do vanguard. FTSE all world.
What is "good right now" is a minefield of a question. Be prepared to take on risk. Right now more than ever, there's existential level risk with the geopolitical issues in the world and the S&P hitting all time highs, despite the US being in eye watering debt and enjoying ever worsening living standards. The AI bubble and private credit markets are about to implode. USD slowly moving out of oil/petrol dollar reduction and high inflation. Rest of the world is mixed and never seems to return the gains promised - and we are in such a connected world, if the US gets a cold we all get it. China always carries geopolitical risk, just look at their top tech stocks crash a couple of years ago (and the fact you don't actually own their stocks if you're a foreigner).
Set and forget strategies in low cost ETFs like vanguard work...until they don't. As long as you understand your money isn't 100% safe anywhere - no wonder gold has hit all time highs - then place your bets eyes open and stop following the market daily/weekly. That's the best approach.
Trading 212 is arguably the best platform.
Make a pie of S&P500, Nasdaq and S&P500 IT etfs in whatever ratio based on how aggressive you want it to be and start.
