dear sifu all,

So I have been putting in money every month since 2015 to PRS. I am terrible at all these investing stuff and I dont really know how to calculate if I even make any money. After calculating what I put in at the end of March 2025 which is approximately 169K, the market value of the units today is just 196K which includes some income distributions units. Is it worth to carry on putting into PRS or should I just take it all out and put in FD instead?

Even though the 169K is accumulated slowly over a 10 years period, I think if I had initially put this same amount in FD, I could have made much more. But I am not looking for answers if PRS is a good thing or not, just what should I do at this period - withdraw or let it roll? Other forms of investment is not good for me except FD or EPF. I have this "buy what, lose what" kind of fate.

Yes I am eligible to withdraw my PRS anytime

TIA

The more important question is, is your age over 55 to withdraw from PRS?

May I know what PRS funds are you holding?
What PRS funds did you held for 10 yrs?
1 year 3k max invested ( to be eligible for max tax relief)  X 10 yrs = 30k invested.

You put in more than 3k yearly into PRS funds?

aham moderate fund.
i just put in a percentage of my salary every month so some years with good bonuses can go above 20k

Usually most people here would not put >3k. They put in just for the tax relief as money placed in would be subjected to lock in period.

Anyway, you should be in "GREEN" for yr this 10 yrs investment.

So in another words, I should withdraw all and put it into something else 😅

Depends on your risk appetite, your need for better returns .
Can try explore KWSP self contribution 100k per year, since you are at retirement age now

EPF already maxed out for this year.

Now I check my PRS acct, I see it says earning is 14% but this is throughout the last 10 years. Earning still depends on the current unit price right? Not comparable to FD whereby even though interest only 3 to 4%, it's compounded.
