For CPF OA, I keep things super boring. I don’t touch unit trusts because the fees just eat into returns. I stick to CPF-approved ETFs like the STI ETF since they’re cheaper and more straightforward.
I also don’t buy often. CPF charges make small, frequent trades painful, so I usually wait and invest once or twice a year when there’s a decent sum. Bigger, less frequent buys keep costs down.
CPF OA already gives 2.5% risk-free, so I don’t try to be clever with it. Over-trading or chasing trends usually ends up losing to fees. Buy, hold, forget about it.
Dividends just go back into OA and I lump them together with the next buy. No point reinvesting small amounts and paying more charges.
CPF OA works best when you’re lazy: low-cost ETFs, big batch buys, and very little action.
