CPF suffers from a universal problem: Complexity.
People either ignore it, misunderstand it, or build their 'financial house' on shaky ground..
Get a peek behind the curtain from someone who not only helped design the CPF system but also manages his own daily finances (and CPF money) within it.
Our guest is former Deputy CEO of CPF – Mr. Chin Heng Soh, who will share more on:
- Why CPF is both a powerful foundation and a double-edged sword for Singaporeans.
- The boring-but-brilliant investment strategy he swears by (hint: it’s not stocks!).
- Critical gaps in healthcare/insurance planning most people overlook.
- How to turn policy complexity into your advantage.
Mr. Soh isn’t just a policy insider—he’s a counselor, financial trainer, and self-proclaimed "boring investor" who’s survived market chaos. He’ll show you how to simplify your financial life and achieve true independence—no jargon, just real talk.
Tune in to find out if your money is working as hard as his!
