CPF Advisory Panel Recommendations

17 February 2015

The CPF Advisory Panel was appointed by the Ministry of Manpower in September 2014. The CPF Advisory Panel will study these areas:

1. How the Minimum Sum should be adjusted beyond 2015 in order to meet the objective of delivering a basic monthly retirement payout for life.
   
2. How to enable CPF members to withdraw more as a lump sum upon retirement, and the circumstances for their doing so, taking into consideration the impact on retirement adequacy for different groups.
   
3. How to provide an option for members who prefer CPF payouts that are initially lower but rise with time to help with increases in the cost of living; and
   
4. How to provide more flexibility for members who wish to: 
   
   1. Seek higher returns while balancing the higher investment risks involved, through private investment plans
      
   2. Invest in private annuities when they retire as an alternative to CPF LIFE.
