ETF investment

Hey all,

My first post here…

Recently, I set up an SBI securities account in order to start some investing.

I'm not looking into making a lot of money quickly but rather to supplement the income over time. As such, I'd like to invest into some ETFs and was wondering what ETF would be appropriate for that, specifically those that pay out dividends.

I'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff so if I'm not mistaken, you put some money into an ETF, and it pays out the dividends based on the amount you put in. That gets deposited into your bank account either yearly or quarterly. And since SBI Securities offers tax reporting you don't need to file that yourself, they'll do it for you.

Please correct me if that's wrong.

And also, I'd like to get some gold. Any recommendations there? Don't need physical possession, rather a fund.

Thanks.
