Not sure if it's the same, the fund I helped review was only returning 1.xx% p.a. (bid to offer) since inception. Singapore Savings Bond also 10 years but has a higher return than that fund.<br /><br />p.s. I'm lazy to write a guest blog for this..<br /><br />Regards,<br />MatthewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294704042300607437noreply@blogger.com
