Regular Savings Plans in Singapore — SRS and CPF-OA Investing

## Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) SRS contributions are tax-deductible up to S$15,300/year (Singapore citizens/PRs) or S$35,700 (foreigners). Investments inside SRS grow tax-free until withdrawal at retirement age. ## CPF-OA investing You can invest CPF Ordinary Account savings above S$20,000 in approved unit trusts and ETFs (CPFIS). The CPF-OA interest rate is 2.5% — if you invest in equities and outperform 2.5% over time, investing makes sense. But CPF-OA money is locked until 55, so choose carefully. ## Regular savings plans (RSPs) All major brokerages in Singapore offer RSPs that debit monthly and buy ETFs like the Nikko AM STI ETF or CSPX (S&P 500). Minimum S$100/month. This is Singapore's equivalent of a SIP.
