It has been a month since the CPF changes were announced, and there are still ongoing discussions in the media, online, and in various finance chat groups. With all the noise surrounding this ‘hot topic,’ our CEO, Chris, shared a simple guide in a Business Times article, which all Singaporeans can refer to when considering their next steps in light of these changes.

Chris shares how crucial it is to have a robust wealth plan, as government policies and your personal needs may change over time.
