S2E17: A Step-By-Step Guide to Planning for Your Child’s Tertiary Education

Isaac Ong

The total cost of university education can range from $100,000 to $1 million in SGD today, depending on many factors such as country, university, academic field, degree level, inflation, and foreign currency exposure. It is not a small amount to set aside and requires a well-considered financial plan to achieve successfully.

In this episode, our Solutions Specialist, Tan Choong Hwee, and our Insurance Executive, Ma Jiamin, share their overseas education experience as well as a step-by-step guide to planning for your children’s education.

Stay tune for the next episode where we look back at the events that have shaped the markets over the past quarter and share the market outlook for the rest of the year!
