Hi Anon,

CPF has been the quintessential social security system for Singaporean’s retirement and before you embark on the journey of investing using your CPF fund, it is best you assess your risk profile as well as the time frame for the investments.

You can refer to the CPF website for more information:

If I am looking to invest in ETFs each month, is the best way to invest through a bank (POSB Invest-Saver/ OCBC/ etc)? Or are there better ways you would recommend?

I'm a fresh grad, looking to invest 30% of my salary ($1900 after CPF). If I'm considering investing purely into equities (e.g. STI ETF, Robo), what would you recommend my asset allocation to be?

Is now a good time to invest in property or REITs? What kind of REITs would you recommend to invest currently?

Would you recommend to invest our CPF OA money? If yes, where do you invest in? Thanks!

Hi, Im new to investing and would like to put a small sum (abt $500-$800) per mth on US/China ETFs. Would TD Ameritrade/IB be better in terms of cost savings? Any other good brokers to recommend?
