Financial Planning for a Retiree

Many retirees ask for my views about how to invest their savings. They are risk averse and not familiar with investing in the stock market. They find the interest rate paid on bank deposits to be too low.

The best investment is to keep the money in the CPF retirement account and earn an interest rate of 4% (plus bonus). For the other savings, they should invest in a low cost investment fund. Read more about it in my FAQ on "financial planning for a retiree) in www.tankinlian.com/ask.aspx. This FAQ also explains the type of insurance that is needed.

There is a talk being organised by FISCA on Saturday 28 August. It is suitable for retirees. Register at www.fisca.sg
