ILPs for 10 year time frame?

Someone recommended putting $12000 per annum in an investment plan (in the likes of GWA/AIA Pro Achiever) for mid-term goals (e.g. for property, children). Rationale is that the current market is down, and there is a welcome bonus of 50% for that amount.

Our time frame is 10 years. What are your thoughts on this recommendation? Yay or nay?

Nay, never ever consider ILP.. eat away your money slowly with high hidden fees, and most do not profit.. from personal experience. Put thevmoney in SSB or fixed deposit better than ILP.

Avoid ILP at all costs. The fees will eat away most of your returns. Try googling how terrible ILPs are. Don't be attracted by the 50 percent welcome bonus, nobody gives you money for free.

Hi, will you choose to invest in roboadvisor (syfe/stashaway) vs ILP (APA) in the long run (e.g. 10-25years) if you have no time to read up on investment stuff etc? Or there are better alternatives 😅

How should I invest 10K for my child? Time frame around 10 years.

Hi, have built an ok CPF amt after working for many years. I am 50 now and retiring in 10 years time. have some spare about 50 -100k cash on hand. What can I do with 10 years to go?

If you have $10,000 extra fund, what would you invest to growth this $10k and get the fund back in 10 years time? Especially those that will grow in value over time after post covid times?

Have anyone held a stock for more than 3 years? 5 years or even 10 years? How does it feel like and what you did to make yourself held on to it even when there are times you wanted to sell it?
