I had recently inherited $14.7 million (after conversion from GBP). I have no parents nor guardian since 1.5 years ago which is why I don't have anyone to talk to when it comes to finances. Any investment advice?

Ouch, respect

You could do it all by Yourself, mostly with passive indexing ETFs,

but the sum is so high, that I feel You better discuss all details of

optimum strategy with a fee based independent financial adviser.

Never buy (or let buy) mutual funds/unit trusts b/o underperformance and higher fees.

Maybe Stock ETFs, REIT-ETFs, physical gold and property would be the best asset allocation in Your case.

To play it smart with SDIC, become a privilege/premier/HNW account that allows you to

1. Lounge with wine (be nice like me ya?)
2. collect umbrellas on rainy day =p (ooppss...only if really need, i give many umbrella to elderly le)
3. get special FD rates and for your case you can use the stagger FD rate method that provides you income month after 12months

​

Remember I mentioned SDIC?

​

Each Bank account will secured you a $50k protection so in a way your money will not be defaulted to Zero from the Premier Amount you deposited.

​

In a way, the more bank account you have in SG covered by SDIC, you get a certain amount of protection.

Hope my reply helps.

Like you say, if you are not looking to get richer than you are, don't want to take risk and are ok with anything higher than the HSBC Premier Savings Account, then I would recommend Citibank Maxigain Savings Account. With the step-up interest, you would be able to definitely earn more than 1%. That said, it's only up to the first $150k I believe.
Then put your money into other high yield savings accounts or FDs. That's about all I can recommend if you want no risk.
Also, loving that minimalist lifestyle, but invest in your health and don't eat too much instant noodles. You are a medical student after all! ;D

You can use it to generate a second stream of income by investing it in dividend payout funds. Constant 5% payout pa. Imagine getting
