Looking at investing CPF-OA through Endowus, but still a little apprehensive since it's giving up 2.5% guaranteed.
But I'm willing to take some risk with this money if so far the returns is minimally on par.
The target is to grow the money faster with a span of 20 years so that I can withdraw more post-55 & can stop working completely.
Alternatively, what is the recommended tool for CPF OA investment?
Background: 35f, married with a 6yo.
Housing loan fully paid, CPF-SA max at current FRS. Still working (stable job) & aim to do so for 20 more years.

I have a different opinion from the rest. The last 1 year returns are definitely not representative of future returns because of the Covid price crashes.
I think cpf OA is good to keep as a warchest.
You should invest your lower yielding cash/srs 1st.

I invested a lump sum from CPF-OA on 23 Jun 2020. I didn't add further. Looking forward to seeing the 1-year result soon. :)
As of 26/4/2021
60% equities & 40% bonds
Simple Return: 17.42%
Time-Weighted Return (YTD): 3.93%
Time is the free lunch in investing, AND
Compounding is the 8th wonder of the world.
Makes sense to take advantage of both now.

Im pretty new here but I've been following some of the posts on seedly. I must say you've done a great job maxing your SA to FRS and clearing your loan so fast.
Endowus is a great platform to start passively investing. My returns are about 30% from last year (100% equities) but I must caution that you cannot expect these returns in the long run.
I suggest you can start with a small sum and DCA with an aggressive portfolio. I believe it will beat 2.5% returns annually in the long run.
