Companies under Singapore Exchange's (SGX) existing rules are subject to delisting if they fail to exit the SGX watch-list. Therefore, CPF savings under the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS) will not be allowed to purchase securities on the SGX watch-list. This will take effect from 1 March 2016.
This restriction serves to safeguard members' CPF savings as securities placed on the SGX-watch list could potentially be delisted.
CPF members who have invested in securities prior to their being placed on the SGX watch-list can choose to hold or sell them or participate in corporate actions, subject to the prevailing CPFIS rules and limits for these securities.
The Board would like to remind members who wish to invest their CPF savings, to exercise prudence and consider the total costs of investment, their investment objective, risk appetite and investment horizon. Those who leave their CPF savings with the Board currently earn guaranteed interest rates of up to 3.5% and 5% per annum in their Ordinary and Special Accounts respectively1.
