Thanks Josh!😊 1. I am going to be a cheapskate and take your free newsletter😅 2. U explained CPF concept and strategy so much clearer than other channel and yet no huff and fluff. U prob wun get alot of eyeballs w/o the sugar coating and hypes. So, really appreciate your sincere sharings 👍 Cheers!
Thank you for the insightful sharing. I agree as well and I'm holding off purchasing reits because they have been absolutely decimated, back to 52 week lows, and Trump haven't even entered office yet... I'll probably be allocating my money to relatively risk free investments until the path is clear to buy reits again.
@joshconsultancy That's true, market is driven largely by rumours and sentiment. I'll see in 2025 if Trump really imposes the 10-20% and 60% heavy tariffs on china and the rest of the world.
I not buying anymore SSB since i bought 3 tranches at very good yrly rate of 3.19,3.21 & 3.26% ! Waiting 4 Black Swan like on 5-6th Aug 2 happen again or usa mkt correction . I did buy a bit of keppel corp n DBS on 5th Aug . No enough 2 buy some more on 6th Aug as my cash n cpf OA $ stuck in T-bills 😊
This question cannot be answered with a particular idea. Unless it's CPFSA. Other high yield stocks or banks, also has volatility High yield bonds, I think also undervalued, even more volatility than reit Would instead advocate to look for investments with good risk/reward
@joshconsultancy haiz .... even high yield bonds (junk status) do not offer good yields. Banks i find too rich already, reits don't srem to have any light at the end of the tunnel. Doesn't seem to be any reasonably low risk avenue to invest the outcoming balance shielded SA funds 🤔
Not sure where you get your assumption that SSB will climb to 3+%, even if it will be increased, I think it will inch towards a high 2% and will not exceed average 3% for the next SSB lah.
Hi, I think we need to qualify whats relatively low risk. CPF to SSB (for above age55 with FRS) is risk free to risk free. If not it is an investment of CPF under CPFIS and risk profile must be comfortable k
@@zzy341 How likely is any of the Singapore's large local banks such as DBS-POSB, UOB, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank, CitiGold Bank SG, MayBank, etc to default on enormous mortgage and commercial loans (extreme bad debts) such that the [mark-to-market] accounting results released as news by these publicly-traded banking groups shock investors and cause the banks' stock prices to collapse, even the stock exchange to potentially shutter for a few days like during the 1985 Pan-Electric debacle to stop huge trading losses and flush out of funds? Therefore, what if any of the local banks in Singapore turn bankrupt and such news is announced?
@zzy341 I was on a floating sibor rate before that…there was a narrow window during Dec 2021-Jan 2022 when DBS was still offering 1.65% 5yr fixed rate! Strangely I remember it was hugely unpopular and was actually promoted a FD rate instead, I locked in the 5yr 1.65% fixed in Jan 2022! And thanks to an error from my mortgage broker, the whole process was delayed till Oct 2022! Was so damn pissed with them! BUT Hahaha must say it’s a blessing in disguise!
Josh me no understanding leh your previous video said to wait Dec SSB to buy now u say dont buy wait until next year 3% if dont buy now later next year it falls below 3% then how we lose the opportunity so in Dec got bonus can let us know where to invest now ?
Hi Josh, on 6:45 wonder why are you using US Government Securities 10Y Yield Chart to predict Singapore Saving Bond yield in January. You should be using Singapore Government 10Y bond yield instead, which is highly unlikely to be above 3% for the SSB January issue. SG10Y currently stood at 2.879%
If one already meet FRS, would he or she be better off to aim for ERS rather than taking out money (beyond FRS amount) after 55? Afterall 4% is still better than SSB 3%. Unless one has surplus after ERS then it makes sense to withdraw sum above ERS for SSB?

The interest trend is never confirmed. Sentiment is fickle

Which Singapore Bank offer the best rate of US dollar FD
Ya buy asap possible I already completed the combo where every month I get money. Also throughout 10 years I will be getting average at least 3 %
US Treasury will need to issue more bonds in Jan 2025. Hence, yields for bond is expected to rise further.
Josh. Don’t think CPF can be used for SSB, unless there are changes.
Cannot. As in for those above 55 with FRS, cpf can be withdrawn and it opens the possibility
Highly doubt rate will go up, I think rate likely will be going down in 2025. Maybe now is good time to add some reits on discount now.
Yup. Subs and stay tuned. Reit topic up next week =)
I would like a copy of free newsletter

nice!
Josh, any advise to get higher than 4% yield with low risk (not 0 risk). Reits are too risky for that matter
This question cannot be answered with a particular idea. Unless it's CPFSA.
Other high yield stocks or banks, also has volatility
High yield bonds, I think also undervalued, even more volatility than reit
Would instead advocate to look for investments with good risk/reward

what would you advise investing cpf oa into to get above 2.5% with relatively low risk?
Hi, I think we need to qualify whats relatively low risk.
CPF to SSB (for above age55 with FRS) is risk free to risk free.
If not it is an investment of CPF under CPFIS and risk profile must be comfortable k
JL, I managed to lock in 1.65% mortgage fixed for 5yrs since 2022 from Dbs. And SSB lock in at 3.3%+. 😂 how, good or not?
the best 😂
How you get 1.65% mortgage in 2022 wow mine went from 0.8% at start of 2021 to almost 5% at end of 2021 and have been stagnating there. Ouch!

Closing on 27nov is selling DEC24 issue - dont buy now
Closing on 27Dec is selling Jan25 issue - wait for this one =)
@joshconsultancy Ok now then me got some understanding so thanks Josh 👍

Jan 2025 SSB at 2.86% 10-yr ave.
Ya. Was abit surprised
May I know what is rate for Feb 2025 ?
If one already meet FRS, would he or she be better off to aim for ERS rather than taking out money (beyond FRS amount) after 55? Afterall 4% is still better than SSB 3%. Unless one has surplus after ERS then it makes sense to withdraw sum above ERS for SSB?
Theres a big difference, in RA account it is locked up. No more liquidity
Trump wants to bring down inflation, how will he make the interest rates go up ?
Inflation projection can be speculative 👌🏻
As of now, expectations ticked upwards
Based on the logic you explained, SSB bonds will be on the uprising trends especially when Trump gets into office. So maybe not in a hurry? 😀
The interest trend is never confirmed. What if recession worries suddenly start building?
