How can I use my CPF to invest into Gold? Looks like gold is a safe place to hedge my investment for now. Can I buy gold through my brokerage account?

CPF says: "In addition, you can only invest your OA savings up to 35% and 10% of your investible savings* in stock and gold respectively, also known as the stock and gold limits. "

see your rate of return if you DCA or lump on a particulare date. if you bought in the 90s consistently on the mothly basis, you would be up XX %. btw gold is money, everything else is currency.

You need a CPF investment account to buy gold etf.
