Because it is very easy to purchase (easier than having to walk to a bank to open an FD account.) It is really fairly liquid, so we treat it as a savings and do not view it as investment (nor do we expect investment returns).


Each Singaporean is limited to a max of 100k in SSBs.

Considering to put a small sum of idle cash for maybe about 9 months only.. until our next purchase but not sure if it is the right thing to do..

Is that part of your idle cash that can be withdrawn without penalty by giving less than 30 days notice earning more than 0.9% pa interest?

I am not putting any $$ in SSB at present.
Somehow I am still adopting wait and see attitude.
Thank you.

Sept 10 year Singapore Government (SGS) Bond May yield close to 2.8%

Hi drizzt
I rem you and you write very well.
You have done very well in this area, whereas for me, it is still the same as before :roll:

its a privilege that you remember me. to be honest i think many writes much better than me and have a better command of the language. however, long practice does improve even the lousiest writers.

On the topic of the savings bonds, it seems we can get an indication of what is the future yields, but over time, its hard to time as rates move up and down.

I wrote in the past on some observation that perhaps MAS intend for the SSB to be seen as some form of inflation protection: http://www.investmentmoats.com/wealth-b ... abilities/

Since you can sell off the bond at par, this means that if the trend is that the future up coming issue is of much higher rate, sell off these lower rate ones, then wait one month, buy a higher rate one. I am not sure missing out one month whether it makes it a zero sum game, but if the rate moves to 3.5% and your bond is at 2.6%, then perhaps it looks rather worth it.
