but why will it be called Fixed D?

If thinking about FD, can instead consider some local banks that offer higher interest rates for savings account without locking in your money. Examples like Standard Chartered Esaver and CIMB offers around 3.5%!

WHy is this called Fixed D /FD when it doesnt lock it up?

It is NOT FD then

hence why will it be called FD?

More choices
but only 1 best option given: 
Honestly anything less than 5% is out , if not cannot beat inflation 

 


yes he says he wouldn’t invest with bigfundr. I agree, too high risk for too low reward

how safe and since all used a youtuber to ......... 
They are not to "instruct" or adv us
they have alwys set the disclaimer these are not financial advices

but lay the ground for us to decide what suit our lifestyle

really can’t understand what point you are trying to make.
 

My point was quite simple: I agree with the YouTuber commenting that the risk vs reward balance doesn’t work for bigfundr, it’s too high a risk for too low a reward.

I read this topic and found that 5 years later when i reach 55 the SA will close and left over OA, RA and MA.

I have already transfer my OA to max out my SA currently which would be FRS when reach 55.

I would like to know when i reach age 55 would my salary goes to OA or RA?

What if i top up to reach ERS at age 55 asking same question as above would my salary goes to OA or RA?

From what i understand is OA interest rate 2.5% and RA interest rate is 4% right?

If after i hit ERS will RA gets block off and salary flows to OA instead?

As we dont know your property at all

 If you have set aside your FRS, whether fully in cash or with a mixture of property and cash, any remaining SA savings will be transferred to your Ordinary Account (OA), where they remain withdrawable and will earn the short-term interest rate.

 

 

You can choose to transfer your OA savings to the RA at any time, up to the prevailing Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) to earn long-term interest rates and receive higher retirement payouts. Once transferred, the RA savings can only be streamed out to you in retirement payouts. With the raised ERS from 1 January 2025, more than 99% of the members aged 55 and above today would be able to transfer all their SA savings, that were channelled to the OA due to the closure of SA, to the RA.
 
You will be notified when your SA is closed, through a hard copy notification, as well as an email/SMS where applicable. No action is required from you now.

Also, must closely guard your finances from your SO or spouse, especially so if the other side is a complete klutz with finances/money

This is a MUST

The other side MUST NEVER EVER know the true extent of your wealth, or else you will be doomed

When you reach >= 55yo and still working, deduction from you salary goes to OA and MA (if MA is not max). If MA already max, everything goes to OA.
