If I were to invest $1,000 in SSB, will the same amount that I invested in be deposited back in my bank account at the end of 10 years?

Completely new to investing here. Is it the same for STI ETF, after I decide to sell off the units bought?

Hi QP,

SSB redemption is returned to the same bank account you buy the SSB.

For bonds, you will get back the amount you used to buy the bonds when the bonds mature (in this case it is 10 years), provided the bond issuer (in this case the Singapore government) does not go bankrupt.

For STI ETF, as there is no maturity date as it is unlike bonds, the amount you get when you sell off the units depends entirely on the price of each unit. I.e. you sell them off to the market.

Can review my portfolio? 1) IWDA: $10,000 (invested beginning of this year,2020) DCA monthly: $1,500 2) STI ETF: $18,000 ( invested since 2018, having a loss) 3) Unit Trust: $10,000, (value: $11,000). Any suggestions?

If I invest $1,000 on CoAssets campaign which has 5% interest and 6 months tenture date, it means I will get $1,050 after the 6 months? And if campaign failed to secure the needed amount, can I get back the $1,000?

OCBC asked me to take up a 10 year savings endowment plan and purchase funds from Lion Bank Asian Fund or Lion Bank Core Funds. Should I take this up, or invest in STI ETF + Bluechips + SSB and REITs?

If you have $10,000 extra fund, what would you invest to growth this $10k and get the fund back in 10 years time? Especially those that will grow in value over time after post covid times?

What bank account is the best for freelancers - no salary credited? Also, I have $15,000 of spare cash from NS POSB-SAYS - where should I park that money? the two year will be ending in a month+?
