Whether to pump more money into our CPF Special Account is something that some of us struggle with, especially younger CPF members because it could be a very long time before they see any of the money again.
Although I cannot say that what has worked for me would definitely work for them, I can say, if we believe in having some investment grade bonds in our portfolio, that it is something worth considering.
Hello AK,
I have been a follower of your blog and I have one question to ask.
I like to take the low risk style to invest, and that's why I have been investing in unit trusts and shares like Singapore Airlines and Singtel.
However, I realised that we can do self top ups to Special Account, which will earn a guranteed 4% per annum interest.
Considering that is risk-free, I think it is a worthy decision to transfer my investments to this special account.
Do you think I should transfer to the special account?
I do know that I can only withdraw from it at 55 years old, but I'm planning for the future :0
Kind Regards,J

Hi J,
OA to SA transfer was something I did consistently in my early years. ;)
It has turned out very well for me. :)
Best wishes,
AK
UPDATE (22 AUG 17):
See my blog on the 4 ways we can beef up our CPF account for a more complete picture HERE.
It is also worth reminding ourselves that the CPF is not only risk free, it is also volatility free which is good for my heart.
This isn't Quantum Physics.
It is simple math.
