Im thinking about throwing a few bucks into ETF's however they dont seem to have performed particularly well during the pandemic, esp the past year. Any recommendations so that I can start my research journey?
Which ETF have done well during the pandemic?

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

But how good is our previous performance! Look at that chart! We've got the best previous performance! I don't know why we're telling you, but you know… #performance!
My actual advice would be to DCA into an index-based ETF (e.g. DHHF, VDHG) and don't look at it/touch it until you need the money.

+1 to this
Set an amount and set up a regular funds transfer/buy (either auto invest like via Vanguard etc or direct exchange buy via somewhere like CMC market)
Forget, apart from tax time, come back 10+ years later
Healthcare, i imagine
…booming, mate!
Gamble responsibly

I use hotcopper forum for share discussions.
With US predicted to go into recession next year, I've cashed-up to get some US ETFs
I’m pretty sure it’s coming to us as well!

Shares of online services and consumer electronics companies boomed in 2020 and 2021. So much so that many were in a bubble that popped in early 2022. People stayed home and purchased entertainment devices. Interest rates were extremely low and people generally cashed up through stimulus.
We're in a very different type of market in 2022 and 2023.

As many people have hinted above, what performed well during the pandemic may not be the best for the future.
The fact is, no one knows what will happen in the future, and hence, what stocks or sectors will outperform.
It is a common trend for people to pile into the previously best performing funds after they have made their sizeable gains, only to be disappointed by lackluster future performance.
Perhaps it is best to buy a diversified ETF and bet on the market as a whole going up instead of hoping to pick the winner where the odds are against you.

VVLU has done quite well recently. Value is finally doing better.

In general, steer clear of ETF. They have strict buy sell rules which can result in forced selling of stocks that have fallen, and equally forced buying of stocks that have risen. Get into an investment run by people with brains who have history and a free hand to do what it takes.
care to share who you think have the right brains?
+1 to diversifying. Recommend an ETF for each asset class, shares (international/US/local), bonds, commodities, REIT, to name a few

Not my problem…
