Should I leave my money in UK bank or transfer back (at loss) to Singapore to invest?
I've previously worked in UK and hence have some savings in a bank account over there. Came back during the 2008 recession and left my account open in the UK when the rate was 1: 2.4 then
Should I transfer the money here and use it for investments now (1:1.7)?
Or should I just keep it there (earning approx. 1-1.5% interest P.A.) and wait for pound to rise?
I'm currently not hard on cash, have sufficient EM Fund, some spare cash for investing. Just wondering if I should get even more cash on hand for investing.
Alternatively, anyone knows if I can trade directly from UK using my UK account? Legally of course.

It really depends on the interest rate you're getting in UK versus Singapore bank. One good way will be to transfer it to a mutli-currency account (e.g. Multiplier acc) where you can have the GBP be deposit as a GBP wallet - and you can exchange it at a rate you desire. Do ntoe that you will not be receiving any interest for GBP in mutliplier account.
