Long Term Investment advice

N

Im 18 years old and want to start long term investing but dont know a lot about stocks or the financial system.

I think investing into an index fund would be the best decision because it would be already diversified which (especially in our current geopolitical situation) is always good.

if i could get like 45'000 USD, would putting 10-20k in the S&P 500 and another 10k into the Swiss Market Index be a good idea? if no: why? what should i be aware of?

thank you for your time.
