DBS Invest-Saver RSP Strategy (Multiplier Bonus Interest)




The previous cashback promo offers full rebate on sales charge for RSPs until July 2020. Do u know u can potentially extend this cashback for RSPs to October 2020 (ie 3 more mths)?

Yes, but u need to carefully plan your RSP investment strategy. Why?

Understanding the New Promo:

1. From May to July 2020, there is a DBS Invest-Saver cashback promotion for full rebate on sales charge for RSPs until October 2020 (6mths).

2. The tnc state that u must not have any RSP holdings at the time u start your RSP.

3.  This means u have to terminate and redeem your current RSP holdings first before u can start a new RSP with a different fund to enjoy the rebates.

4.  How much can I potentially save? 0.82*3 = $2.46 or 0.5*3=$1.50

5.  Is it worth the effort? If I purchase funds with sales charge of 0.82%, it might be worth it.


How can I benefit from this new promo?

1.  I started a new RSP UT(2) in Feb 2020 because I closed and opened the Multiplier Account to get CNY Angbao of $200, plus enjoy cashback on sales charge until July 2020 ( I closed/redeemed the previous RSP UT(1).

2.  Due to the stock market crash, my RSP holdings went negative (now recovered to less than $1 loss from $11). It was a mistake choosing this Bond UT which has some equity holdings which I overlooked.

3.  I decided I should not continue to add good money to bad money. So I started RSP UT(3) in April 2020

4.  So far, this RSP UT(3) is making money, to help cover the loss of RSP UT(2).

5.  This month, I terminated the RSP UT(2), after 3 mths of deductions to qualify for cashback. I will wait for its recovery and divdends to be paid on 1 July before I redeem. I received dividends in April which help offset part of the loss.

6.  To enjoy the new promo, I will need to terminate and redeem both the RSP UT(2) &UT(3) before July 14. I can only terminate the RSP UT(3) in July to qualify for cashback under the previous promo. Hopefully, both will have profits or minimal loss.

7.  Then I will have to start a RSP UT(4) on July 14 to qualify for cashback under the new promo, to receive cashback from July to Oct 2020. Oops, so much work just to save $1.50 and I am running out of stable UT to buy, haha.

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

Fengshui Forecast was Spot On Again!

Fengshui Forecast for August 2008 Stock Market was spot on again! STI had a major correction of more than 10%, dropping from 2906 on August 1 to 2574 on September 5. Too bad, I was not ready to short sell this bear market. But I felt very happy that I've exited the market before this crash. Thanks for the Fengshui Forecast! I prefer to simply wait on the sidelines, with my cash holdings earning interest from the bank or money market funds. This is a bear market! Capital Preservation is Key! Cash is King! Survival first, make money afterwards! Patience will be rewarded when the Time is Right! "Mr Market has never failed to recover from every setback. But not so for individual stocks!”

Stock Trader's Almanac 2009

After I started working, I was always at MPH or Times Bookshops on weekends, reading books to upgrade myself. With internet, I no longer do that except when I cannot find the information I want. Recently, I started visiting the bookshops again. I went to Kinokuniya this time as it has a wider range of books and uncontrolled (ie not shrink wrapped). I found the Stock Trader's Almanac 2008 and read it. I was disappointed as I thought I can find things mentioned in Amfraser's STI Forecast or useful information for the rest of 2008. A very expensive book costing S$70+, but I read it free! Ha ha, times are bad, many people do that at the bookshops! When the Stock Trader's Almanac 2009 is out, you can see me at Kinokuniya again!
