Hi all, with the recent drop in bank's savings accounts interest rates, where have you been putting your cash? Is what I am doing enough, or can I do more?

Singlife - $10k
Singtel Dash - $2k/month from salary, started in early July
Etiqa Elastiq - $26k (for $100 encashable credits)
Stocks - $10k
Endowus - $200/month. I put $1k into a 100% stocks portfolio when markets dipped.
Unit trust - $100/month via DBS

I keep my remaining cash in my bank account for liquidity, which includes 6 months of salary. I feel like my portfolio can be consolidated but not sure how to go about doing so.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Anon, your allocation looks pretty good in my opinion!

Personally, most of my funds are stored in Singlife (2.5% p.a) and Etiqa Elastiq (2.02%). In the event Singlife lowers the interest (since it's not guaranteed), I'll move the funds over to Elastiq. And in 2022, once the guaranteed 2.02% p.a for Elastiq expires, I will consider moving it to Endowus Cash Smart or whichever has the best rates then.​​​
