It is more likely we see them losing GRC seats, but in a gradual manner. If we start to see that happening, then quickly pull out the money.

Kurty Supercharged February 4, 2020 Share February 4, 2020 the holding period is far too long.. 10 years.. prefer something more liquid interest is unattractive.. in fact, if you follow some banks, some are offering similar interest rate. formally, the best is Maxigain but since they had revised the interest rate, many like myself, had cash out. the current popular ones are maybank, while myself, prefer standard chartered. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic February 4, 2020 Share February 4, 2020 (edited) reckon this SSB is a good way out for SRS 'cos the big 4 banks whom are participating in the SRS accounts scheme give pathetic FD rates and one cannot place with say for example CIMB or Maybank or BOC which are giving near or even higher than SSB; ANyways for SRS monies cannot be realised until like age 62 currently; so long term its fine, i reckon for SRS people to move to SSB ; of course one can punt on SGX counters too for much higher returns , or ........losses too if you don't know the market well Edited February 4, 2020 by BanCoe 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SSB rates then (2018) weren't fantastic but look attractive in the present day. He is happily collecting dividends in April and Oct annually. To each his own. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitvip Supersonic February 4, 2020 Share February 4, 2020 Previously, the rate was 2.++% Now it is so miserable @1.7%. One thing good is that interest is credited into your account regularly. Now I would rather go for TD at one of the banks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, not very attractive lor, I last bought in 2018, ave about 2.63% lor. And now, these days, the first 5 years is flat interest rate. At this rate, might as well put FD with DBS at 1.4%. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
