Dollar cost average every month into Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF (ticker: SCHG).

So from SA, can we open an account with Charles Schwab? I see you are in HK.

Dunno, but you don’t specifically need a Schwab account to buy their ETFs. You can buy it on Interactive Brokers or eToro. Similar ETFs are Vanguard’s VUG and iShares’ IWF, for example. Not sure what Easy Equities or the SA banks have to offer in terms of US large cap growth options.

You obviously need a long term view for these growth type funds though and be able to stomach the downturns, which are worse compared to something like a plain S&P500 fund (but similar to QQQ).

Sure; understood.

Satrix does not have ETFs explicitly labeled as "Large-Cap Growth," but in my understanding their offerings providing exposure to large-cap companies with growth characteristics are the big 3 most folks investing in any way, MSCI Works, the usual Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500.

Yeah the Nasdaq holdings and performance are quite similar to a large-cap growth fund, so I would just stick to that then. It is a little bit more expensive than say SCHG, but not too significant.
