Hi Charles,

You are not allowed to buy ETFs using CPF SA monies.

The list of allowed investments (for both OA and SA) is here:

That's because it is not advisable to invest your CPF SA. The account offers guaranteed 4% yearly and there is probably no other investment that provides the same return for an equal risk needed.

How do I use CPF funds to buy STI ETF?

Anyone using FSM platform to buy STI ETFs? If I want to invest 500/month RSP, do I put in 500 or 500 plus the 0.08% fee in the fsm cash account?

Lets say i invest $5000 to buy sti etf using fsmone app, what is the breakdown of fees i have to pay if i want it to be keep in my cdp account compared to if i keep it in fsmone?

Noobie to buy ETF using IBSG. i can't seem to buy when i click on the buy button. to buy ETF is it go to user account setting then Request Trading permission for the Index Options?

Have been buying $200 of STI ETF every month along with my other investments using the POSB RSP. Would it be better to buy it using Syfe Trade since it incurs lesser fees now?
