- Making An Investment
...Having Peace Of Mind

Planning to grow your savings for retirement through investments?
 
The CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS) allows you to invest your CPF savings in a wide range of investment products to enhance your retirement nest egg. However, you should exercise prudence when you invest your CPF savings under the CPF Investment Scheme. There is no guarantee that investments will always be profitable or that investment products included under CPFIS will always earn profit. You need to decide for yourself how to invest your savings, what are the risks that you can accept and how long do you want to stay invested.
 
Before you implement your investment plan, you may have some questions regarding the use of CPF for investment:

 

Are there any criteria I need to fulfil before I can use my CPF savings for investment?

How do I start?

How much can I take out from my CPF for investment and what can I invest in?

Do I have to incur any charges for CPFIS?

When can my investments be sold?

What do I need to do when I want to sell my investments?

What happens when I make profits? What happens when I make losses?

Do I need to pay taxes on profits made from my investments?

When can I withdraw my investments? What do I need to do?

What happens if I divorce?

What happens if I become a bankrupt?

Should I invest or should I not?

When I am no longer around

Moving forward
