CPF IS Investment

If hedging against inflation is the main priority, I will suggest buying GLD ETF periodically via an online brokerage.

Good Luck :p 

 

realize that most monies in cpf are for proff managed product and very much lesser limit for shares. one goon told me better buy etf than unit trust under this category. forget bond and insurance...

They make money out of you...

I thought again you should probably buy it when it is at the worst time in a typical recession.   Anyway, I have not heard my friends ever make alot of money out of it......

Any idea on how to use your CPF sum for Proff Managed product ? For stocks, can easily pick yuor favourites.

Went to one guy in UOB, recommended highly Fidelity America Fund. Is  this worthwhile ? Any STI ETF under this scheme worth investing ? Not gonna let your money lay idle.
