Retirement

SRS

I’m already at retirement age—62, turning 63 soon—but have chosen to continue working until I begin my CPF drawdown in two years.

I opened an SRS account years ago primarily for tax savings. However, my investments within the SRS have not performed well, and the account is currently at a significant loss. My initial plan was to withdraw the funds gradually over 10 years to minimize taxes after I stopped working. That said, I find it difficult to proceed while the account remains in the red—I’d prefer to recover some losses before withdrawing.

I came across a write-up on investing in Mag 7 and wondered if that could be a viable approach, particularly using the funds within my SRS. What strategies should I desperately adopt in my current situation?

Interesting situation! Seeing folks discuss SRS investments and risk tolerance. At 62, maybe safer options are the way to go. Hope the original poster finds a good strategy! https://internetroadtrip.net/

At your age, you really might want to stay away from high risk equities due to your time horizon. Invest in the safer assets like SSB, T bills, short term fixed deposit.
