How can I use my CPF to invest into Gold? Looks like gold is a safe place to hedge my investment for now. Can I buy gold through my brokerage account?

CPF says: "In addition, you can only invest your OA savings up to 35% and 10% of your investible savings* in stock and gold respectively, also known as the stock and gold limits. "

You need a CPF investment account to buy gold etf.

But buying gold with CPF money is not a very good choice. This is because CPF gives a minimum 2.5% which is already beating inflation numbers. Plus, it is guaranteed.
