Fixed income strategy: SSBs or T-bills? My plan.
Saturday, March 25, 2023
I know I said I was going to take a break from blogging until end of the month before I blog about my passive income for 1Q 2023.
However, my OCD grabbed me again, and this is an update on what I am doing in the fixed income space.
Yields fell along the entire yield curve with the Fed's 0.25% interest rate hike decision recently.
It was lower than the 0.5% which Mr. Market thought the Fed would implement before the banking crisis unfolded earlier this month.
The Fed chose to defend financial stability with a smaller interest rate hike than to fight inflation with a bigger rate hike.
Mr. Market interpreted that decision by the Fed as relatively dovish.
Apparently, Mr. Market is pricing in interest rate cuts to happen before the year ends.
This is despite Jerome Powell's statement that there would be no interest rate cut this year.
Well, Mr. Market's argument seems to be that if the U.S. economy goes into a recession later in the year, the Fed would have to cut interest rate.
Who is going to blink first?
Mr. Market or Mr. Powell?
Your guess is as good as mine.
The 6 months T-bill auction here in mid March saw cut-off yield declining to 3.65% p.a. from the 3.98% p.a. we saw in the early March auction.
So, what are my thoughts?
I am also expecting the U.S. economy to weaken and possibly go into recession before the end of the year.
In such an instance, yields are more than likely to decline.
So, if I can get some longer duration bonds with relatively attractive yields now, I think I should do it.
Instead of putting in a bid for the 6 months T-bill auction happening at the end of March with some incoming dividends, I have increased the size of my application for Singapore Savings Bond.
The Singapore Savings Bond offered in the month of March has a 3.15% p.a. 10 year average yield which is higher than the 3% p.a. average interest rate from the CPF for my age.
I am really not increasing allocation to fixed income here but diverting some funds which otherwise would have been earmarked for CPF voluntary contribution in 2024.
To reiterate, if Mr. Market is right and if the Fed is close to the end of their tightening cycle in the USA, then, there is more downside risk for yields, which are already on their way down.
In such a situation, if we want to have some fixed income exposure, we might want to lock in higher yields in longer duration risk free and volatility free Singapore Savings Bonds while they are still available.
This is especially if I could get a higher return than what the CPF offers me.
Even with a lower yield, I am aware that the 6 months T-bill would probably give a higher than 3.15% p.a. cut-off yield.
However, given the outlook, my desire to lock in a higher yield for a longer duration outweighs my desire for a higher yield in the short term in this instance.
There is also reinvestment risk with the 6 months T-bill as yields could be substantially lower 6 months later if Mr. Market is right.
Having said this, I would most probably resume bidding for 6 months T-bill in April, especially if the 10 year average yield for Singapore Savings Bond falls below 3% p.a.
This is a reasonable expectation with yields softening at all points on the yield curve.
6 months T-bill is still a viable option for excess cash which we would like to put to work in the short term.
However, if the 10 year average yield of Singapore Savings Bond were to fall below 3% p.a., I would be better off doing voluntary contribution to my CPF account for exposure to longer duration bonds.
It is good to know that, in case yields continue to decline, voluntary contribution to CPF remains a viable option for someone like me who wants to maintain a meaningful exposure to fixed income in his investment portfolio.
There is no hurry to do voluntary contribution to CPF since we are many months away from the end of the year.
Will see what the Singapore Savings Bonds offer in the next few months.
What I do in April in the fixed income space will depend on the what the Singapore Savings Bond offers.
If you are also interested in this month's Singapore Savings Bond offer, remember to apply by 28 March 2023.

March dividends & SSB 3.15% p.a. average yield.
Wednesday, March 1, 2023
January and February are usually pretty dry months when it comes to dividends.
If not for dividends in March, my passive income in 1Q of any year would be almost zero.
I will blog about my total passive income for 1Q 2023 by end of March or early April.
For now, if I were to do an estimate, passive income for 1Q 2023 could come in at under $40,000.
I shared my plan with regards to SSB, T-bill, CPF and the UOB ONE account in an earlier blog:
I did not apply for the SSBs offered in January and February this year as both offered 10 year average yields of lower than 3% p.a. which was lower than what I would get from my CPF account.
Now, I am not saying that those SSBs were not attractive for everybody but they were not attractive to me as my plan was to apply with money earmarked for CPF voluntary contribution in 2024.
I suppose many people agreed with me as those SSBs were rather badly undersubscribed, with the one offered in February less than half subscribed.
The one that is offered this month, however, is very interesting to me as it is offering a 10 year average yield of 3.15% p.a.
Source: MAS. |
With the dividends coming in this month, I would set aside at least $10,000 to apply for the SSB.
I have made a note on my calendar to apply by 28 March 2023.
If the 10 year average yield remains higher than 3% p.a. for SSBs offered in the next few months, I would be able to fully deploy the $38,000 I have earmarked for voluntary contribution to my CPF account in 2024 earlier than anticipated.
I could do this in 2Q 2023 easily as 2Q and 3Q are usually relatively strong passive income generating periods for me.
In the next day or two, I will talk to myself a bit more on the subject of fixed income and how a meaningful exposure will do my investment portfolio a whole lot of good.
Of course, just talking to myself, as usual.

SSB, T-bill, CPF & UOB ONE. Use them. My plan.
Sunday, February 12, 2023
A few months ago, I said that it made more sense for me not to do voluntary contributions to my CPF account and to buy Singapore Savings Bonds (SSBs) instead.
That was when Singapore Savings Bonds were offering 10 year average yields of more than 3% p.a. and it happened for 3 months in a row in 4Q 2022.
Money meant for voluntary contribution to my CPF account in January 2023 were all very nicely deployed into SSBs without any leftovers.
This year so far, SSBs have been offering lower than 3% p.a. in 10 year average yields which is less attractive than the what my CPF account offers.
Of course, what the CPF offers each of us is different based on our age group and how much we have in the Medisave Account.
The percentage allocation to the Ordinary Account, Special Account and Medisave Account would be different from person to person and could result in a different average interest rate for each of us.
Anyway, before I veer farther off track, if the SSBs continue to offer a lower than 3% p.a. in 10 years average yield for the rest of the year, I am not worried as I would resume voluntary contribution to my CPF account then.
I could do this in the month of December instead of waiting till the new year which was what I had to do in years past.
This is because I have yet to do any voluntary contributions this year, of course.
So, one month in advance for a one month extra interest income.
For now, I will wait and see what the SSBs will offer in the months ahead all the way till December.
After all, the Fed is not done raising interest rate yet with probably a couple more hikes incoming.
I know many are saying that inflation has been tamed but if inflation in the USA remains elevated, there could be more than just a couple of 0.25% hikes left to go.
In such a case, we could see yields going higher especially if the US dollar strengthens against the S$.
In case you are wondering why the strength of the S$ is a relevant consideration, it is quite simple.
A stronger S$ means our country would not have to offer higher yields to compensate bond holders because the S$ is more valuable and bond holders would gain from the exchange rate.
I am veering off track again.
Anyway, what is the plan or, more accurately, my plan?
1. Set aside $42K from my passive income generated this year for voluntary contribution to CPF in 2024.
Money meant for voluntary contributions can be deployed in December 2023 while money for top up to the Medisave Account will be deployed in January 2024.
2. Wait and see if SSBs offer more than 3% p.a. in 10 year average yield in the coming months.
If they do, deploy funds meant for the CPF in 2024 into SSBs instead.
If they don't, use the funds to get 6 months T-bills as long as the yield curve remains inverted which means the front end of the curve remains more rewarding.
Total amount to be deployed this way is $38,000.
3. The strategy of using 6 months T-bills can only extend till June or July 2023 because I will need the funds to be ready for voluntary contribution to my CPF account in December 2023 or January 2024.
If SSBs continue to offer lower than 3% p.a. in 10 year average yield from August to December or the last 5 months of the year, any money meant for CPF voluntary contribution coming in after July 2023 will have to sit in my UOB One Account.
I do not enjoy the highest tier interest rate offered by UOB One Account as I do not have any earned income to credit.
However, it still offers a relatively attractive interest rate at least for money which cannot be locked up for a few months.
All I have to do is to spend $500 on the UOB One Card and have 3 monthly GIRO transactions.
I meet these conditions every month, anyway.
If you are new to eavesdropping on AK, I do have a significant exposure to equities while the CPF, SSBs and T-bills together form the fixed income component in my portfolio.

Just a quick blog to share my latest YouTube video.
All my YouTube videos are between 1 minute to 3 minutes in length.
I try to keep the videos succinct.
Modern day society is always in a rush and short of time.
Also, many people are short of sleep.
So, it is a blessing that my YouTube videos do not require watching.
They only require listening.
You can close your eyes if they feel tired and just listen to my videos which are narrated by a British lady with a pleasant voice.
Very soothing.
There is literally no "AK talking to himself" in my YouTube channel!
Win already lor!
Have a good week!

My CPF account hacked? Money missing!
Sunday, January 29, 2023On 5 Jan 23, in what has become an annual activity, I shared my CPF numbers here in ASSI.

Using CPF-OA for 4% T-bills in January 2023.
Wednesday, January 18, 2023
I applied for both 6 months T-bills this month.
The first one had a cut-off yield of 4.2% p.a.
The second one had its auction today.
Cut-off yield at 4.0% p.a.
My non-competitive bid was fully filled.
I continue to add to the bond component of my portfolio.
I am using dividends from my investments and also some money from maturing fixed deposits to do so.
Today, I also applied for the 1 year T-bill which, unlike the 6 months T-bills, is only offered 4 times a year.
Source: MAS |
The auction results for this month's 1 year T-bill will be announced on 26 January.
Why did I apply for the 1 year T-bill?
I didn't plan to do it but I had to meet my banker at the bank to collect Chinese New Year notes.
It is the usual once a year visit to the bank for me.
Then, I thought I might as well apply for the 1 year T-bill with my CPF-OA money.
I mean I was already at the bank.
Not having to join a long queue at the bank also helped in making the decision to make the application in person easier for me.
As it is costlier and still more troublesome to use CPF-OA money to apply for T-bills, a 1 year T-bill is also more attractive than a 6 months T-bill, everything else being equal, I feel.
I will very likely lose an additional 2 months of CPF-OA interest income but as long as this 1 year T-bill cut-off yield is not too low, I will get some extra pocket money.
Yes, I know, the money can only be in my pocket almost 4 years from now when I turn 55.
This is a reason for accounting for my CPF interest income separately and not lumping it together with my yearly passive income updates.
The interest earned isn't money I can utilize right away.
It isn't near money.
Still, nice to have, I guess.
Moving money from the CPF-OA into T-bills doesn't do anything to my investment portfolio in terms of the bonds to equities ratio, of course.
It just means that my CPF account which I consider part of my bond holdings will get a slight boost.
How much might this boost be?
Well, let us assume I moved $200,000 and the 1 year T-bill cut-off yield was 4% p.a.
Doing a back of the envelope calculation, 1 year CPF-OA interest income would have been $5,000.
4% p.a. 1 year T-bill would yield $8,000.
So, might be grossing $3,000 more.
However, as I probably would not get any interest income from the CPF-OA for an additional 2 months, I would lose another $833 in CPF-OA interest income.
So, the net gain might be closer to $2,166.
For a whole year and with a relatively large sum of $200,000, I don't think the gain is a big deal.
Of course, if we were to move a sum twice or thrice as much, in absolute dollar terms, it might be more interesting.
If I did not have the kind of money I have in my CPF-OA and if I had to join a long queue at the bank, I don't think I would have bothered to make the application.
I know some people are pretty sensitive about this topic.
I hope I did not offend anyone by saying this.
Just me talking to myself, of course.
Anyway, will wait for the auction results now.
Hopefully, my application is fully filled or else the cost would be even higher.
We are not risking a loss of 0.05% p.a. interest but 2.5% p.a. when we use our CPF-OA money.
So, going for competitive bidding makes better sense.
This is in case the unthinkable happens.
The unthinkable?
Imagine a large number of people placed their bids for a 2% p.a. yield and imagine if the cut-off yield was 2.01% p.a.
That would be a most stunning OMG moment!
Just thinking of the possibility is giving me an anxiety attack!
Don't play, play!
Having said this, I put in what I felt was a sensible bid and did not put in an extremely low bid.
I know some people are still waiting for me to say something else.
You want to know what was my bid?
I know.
AK shy lah.
OK, I tell you.
Higher than 3% but lower than 4%.
Win liao lor!
Good luck to us all!
GONG XI FA CAI!

YouTube! Level up! $1.3m! Average but rich!
Monday, January 16, 2023
Restarting my YouTube channel a few months ago, I didn't think it would stick.
When I started the channel 12 years ago, it was just to share some of the videos I took while on vacations.
That sputtered out pretty quickly.
Then, 2 years ago, I thought of sharing my adventures in Neverwinter but not many readers were interested.
8 months ago, although I suspected that not many readers would be interested, I thought of sharing some Genshin Impact gameplay.
It should have ended there.
However, I went on to experiment with making "audio books" or "audio pages" to be more exact as I kept the videos very short.
Without really knowing it, I have been doing this for 8 months now!
Stunned like vegetable!
Like I told a fellow blogger recently, in my retirement, I am a bit spoilt.
If it isn't fun, I don't do it.
If I were to do something these days thinking about the money it makes or the money it might make, I doubt it would stick.
Yes, it is about work if we want to and not work if we have to.
Alamak.
Wrong word!
Not "work" lah.
OK, it is about having fun if we want to and not having fun if we have to!
This truly is levelling up!
Bad AK! Bad AK!
Anyway, after 8 months as a YouTuber, sort of, I have received some interesting comments from viewers.
Yes, now I get to say "viewers" instead of "readers" too.
Alamaks!
AK's videos no need to view one.
Only need to listen.
Oh dear, another wrong word.
OK, not "viewers" but "listeners."
One listener, CTH, sent me this comment today:
I am 48y old this year.
Should have $1.3 million in my CPF by 65y old.
Keeping fingers crossed.
Been staying dirt cheap in mini HDB flat too small with wife and 2 teenagers kids (16y n 14y).
Love the government subsidies and low property tax.
Don't even know the pain of COE for a car, lol.
People laugh at our cheap lifestyle for close to 2 decades.
Your blog keeps us going.
See you around. You're the man. :)
In response, I told CTH that financial prudence and patience will be rewarded.
All in good time.
We are all wired differently and have different circumstances.
However, unless we are badly disadvantaged, most of us in Singapore can be financially free if we do what is within our abilities to do.
It depends more on whether we have the willpower to do it.
This reminds me of another reader's story which I shared in this blog:
More passive income than "richer" friends.
To everyone on the journey to financial freedom, remember that average income workers can be rich too:
Average income workers have a choice to be rich!
If AK can do it, so can you!

Too little passive income and too much money in CPF OA.
Friday, January 6, 2023
It is probably no secret that AK is pretty reclusive.
The COVID 19 pandemic has made AK even more reclusive, if that is at all possible.
Why so reclusive?
Well, I think a lot and some people would say I think too much.
Better be safe and not sorry, especially when I have aged parents whom I visit weekly.
Almost without exception, I would have a sleepless night after any form of social engagement as my monkey brain would replay the event again and again.
In the worst case scenario, I would get an anxiety attack.
Some people think that I was kidding when I revealed I was a patient at the little house on Buangkok Green.
I wasn't.
To be fair, it was probably just a contributory factor that led to my diagnosis and treatment at IMH.
As my blog got more popular and the blogger got more attention, there was a growing feeling of anxiety.
So, it was a good thing that Facebook did what it did to me and I took that as an opportunity to scale back on social media engagement.
Blogging is a hobby and hobbies should be something we do because they make us happy and not because they make us anxious.
I cannot remember who the people were by now but there were those who were pretty unkind.
They told me that if I could not take the heat, I should not be in the kitchen.
Then, there were those who were kinder.
They told me I should learn how to break and blog or I could suffer a burnout.
Well, both groups of people were right although their messages were "same same but different."
I am glad that I have reduced my social activity as a blogger in recent years and have confined myself to my blog.
The only way most people can get in touch with me now is through the blog's comments section and only if they have a Google account.
I know it is very restrictive but it is good for my mental health.
Yes, it is not just because AK is lazy which is what I always say.
This way, I rarely have to deal with trolls and bots.
I know I am missing out on new business opportunities too as an "influencer" but it doesn't really matter to me.
I am glad that I did what I did as I enjoyed blogging from the moment I started in 2009 and I want to continue blogging because I enjoy it.
Of course, I know that "a big tree catches the wind."
Talking to myself, if I have managed to inspire readers to achieve financial freedom, I am glad.
That is what I always say and that is primarily what I want my blog to do.
To inspire.
Although I do not like it, I cannot deny that my blog attracts some attention of the unwanted variety.
I try not to be like the proverbial blind men who each touched a different part of an elephant and gave their conclusions without the full picture.
Although I am uncomfortable with revealing or explaining everything about me, I make an effort to share enough information for readers to make their own informed decisions on stuff that I do blog about.
It isn't unreasonable because the really interested readers would read my past blogs for background information especially when I make an effort to provide hyperlinks to related blogs.
Despite keeping a low profile, I was made aware of two statements recently.
1. My passive income is growing too slowly.
2. I have too much money in my CPF OA.
I have watered down the statements which were somewhat offensive in their original forms.
Although I initially thought there was no need for me to respond to these statements, a good friend said I should.
To be honest, I don't want to do it but after some thinking, I think I should.
Why?
It is only fair to readers especially those who have not been following my blog for very long to have me throw light on the matter.
After all, I cannot assume that my blog only has regular readers who have been following my blog for many years.
They would probably have an idea how I would respond to both statements.
So, now you know the reason why I am crafting this blog.
I am going to get this over with chop chop.
My passive income has not been growing very much in the last few years as I retired a few months before I turned 45 years old and that was about 6 and a half years ago.
Since then, I have lacked an earned income.
So, although I could invest a big portion of my earned income and all my passive income when I was gainfully employed, I could not do so in recent years.
If we go back 11 years, my passive income was about $100K a year back then but it was $200K for the whole of last year.
Also, 11 years ago, my investment portfolio was very heavy in REITs and enjoyed very high yields which isn't the case today.
As for the money in my CPF OA, I do not think getting a risk free 2.5% per annum return from a volatility free instrument per se was a bad thing.
It looks like it is a bad thing now because interest rate has risen so much in less than one year.
So, what seemed like a good idea in the past does not seem like a good idea now.
Of course, there were people who did not think that having a lot of money in the CPF OA was a good idea in the past as well.
The proverbial blind men each touching a different part of an elephant comes to mind.
As a retiree who lacks an earned income and at my age, it is not a good idea to be too adventurous when it comes to investing my money.
I am aware that I could have invested some of my CPF OA money in equities for higher returns but do I need to do it?
I don't think so as it is probably quite obvious that I already have a substantial exposure to equities.
I also do not want to do it because I want to grow my portfolio's exposure to fixed income which would reduce volatility in the portfolio.
Also, most investors who used their CPF money to invest would have been better off leaving their money in their CPF OA and it could have been the same for me too.
I am not infallible.
For a person in my position, why trade something that is risk free and volatility free for something that is not for a possibly higher return?
"It’s insane to risk what you have for something you don’t need." Warren BuffettWhat to do?
What I am considering doing is to use CPF OA money to get T-bills.
However, as I am mental and want to avoid visiting the bank if I can help it, I am waiting for online application to be allowed.
However, if T-bills should see yield climb much higher before then, I might make a trip to the bank, no matter how reluctant I am to do it.
Right now, not getting $700K of CPF OA money into a 6 months T-bill means losing some $10K in annual passive income.
What I am going to say next might be taken the wrong way by some people but, to be quite blunt, to me, it isn't a big deal.
I have not put in much effort in crafting this blog.
I just typed whatever came to mind.
So, I apologize if it is not as diplomatic as it should be.
I just want to get it out of the way so that I can enjoy Genshin Impact's special program which is starting soon.
Don't want to have this at the back of my mind.
If you play Genshin Impact too, don't forget the free Primogems from the special program.
Good luck and have fun.
