Hi all, beginner here and have a lump sum of savings to move to savings plans. I currently max-ed out Singlife with 10k, and thinking of maxing out 20k in Dash EasyEarn and moving another lump sum into Elastiq.
Is this a sensible move? Do you guys advise for full withdrawal/surrendering of Dash and Elastiq after their respective guaranteed 1 year and 3 years of maximum interest rates should better plans arise?
Thank you!

These are some of the best cash management plans that provide guaranteed savings.
Personally, I max out the SingLife with 10k and use some of my remaining money on Dash-Etiqa. These are the main bulk of my savings and I choose these platforms as they provide higher returns (compared to other similar plans) that are guaranteed and risk-free.
I spend the remaining on Robo-advisors such as StashAway. This constitutes 25% of my wealth and it provides a good entry point for investment as they have good commentary and explanation/Breakdown for your savings.
For Elastiq, you can check out this article by THE KIAM SIAP LIFE. IT provides a pretty good analysis of its pros and cons.

Elastiq is definitely a good deal to consider. Considering most banks are lowering their interest rate, it is something you should consider.
Here is some key advantage of Elastiq:
1) Policy Protected by SDIC
This policy is protected under the Policy Owners' Protection Scheme which is administered by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC).
2) Guaranteed return
There is a guaranteed return of 1.8% p.a. for the first 3 years. This is quite competitive in this climate of low-interest rates.
3) Flexible Withdrawal
There is only a 90 days lock-in period. You can withdraw anytime after the 90 days lock-in period without penalty.
4) Bonus Return
There is a non-guaranteed bonus of 0.3% if there is no withdrawal in the first 3 years.
