Hi, an undergrad here. Just like to get some opinion on whether investing a lump sum which is meant for tuition fee loan repayment in 2 years time is a wise choice after setting aside emergency fund?

My thought is to maximise return during this two years to pay off more instead of putting in bank or low return accounts.

Any suggestion on whether should I be build a conservative or aggressive portfolio given this short time frame and uncertainty ahead?

If safe return is higher than interest charged, you know the answer

Can try Singlife or Stashaway. I’m also undergrad so i need something which is more liquid and the above offers me that with a higher interest as compared to putting it at the bank
