Hi guys, should I put my money into EPF or invest into ETF until retirement. Which one can give me more $$$?

Hi might be a noob question here

Said i started investing with ETF with captrader now
and keeping it loooooooooong term until retired only withdraw

said by that time my portfolio might be few mil
would there be any issue to transfer few mil from captrader > SG account > MY bank account?

since it is a large amount and might fall under BNM monitoring?

I've got a question:

Say I'm interested in S&P500, so I'll find an ETF to track that.
Is it safe to say that we'll never make a loss in the long term??

For example, if you buy Apple, but Apple may go bankrupt. Maybe the stock price went down and I didn't exit in time, until it got delisted from the stock exchange.
In the case of ETF, if Apple got delisted from S&P500, another company will replace its position, right?? So this ETF will never go bankrupt??

So ETF is all to gain, nothing to lose in the long term??
If you hold an ETF, when the intrinsic companies change, it doesn't affect you in the long term, does it??

Sorry! I'm not sure if my question makes sense.

Yup you are right. But you to be prepared when market drop 30-40%

so as long as you got holding power and can hold for long term, definitely no problem??

since S&P500 are the top companies, they will surely recover (or be replaced) in bull market, no?

if like that, then everyone (including PNB) can just invest in S&P500 and problem solved?

Past performance isn’t a guarantee for future performance.

But in the long term, as long as you hold long enough it’s a fairly safe bet.

When a stock is removed from the index (due to massive loss/share price plunging), the ETF may need to dispose the stock at a loss as well, and buy a new inclusion stock.

can someone help?

Can I add a GTD order?

For IB, best to use the program or can I just use webtrader?

Just to add more explanation.

elea88, I assume you need HKD for HKEX. IB does not have the pair SGD.HKD. So you need to convert twice, SGD -> USD -> HKD. You can follow the suggestion by rjb123 for SGD -> USD (meaning to BUY the pair USD.SGD).
Then you need to SELL the pair USD.HKD to get your HKD.

Some basic concept about forex trading. For a currency pair, i.e USD.SGD, the first currency (USD) is the base currency, the second currency (SGD) is the quote currency. 
Assumed 1 USD = 1.3514 SGD.
When you :

1) buy 10,000 USD.SGD, you will get 10,000 USD. For this BUY, 13,514 SGD will be deducted from your IB account. The commission charged is 2 USD. Buying a currency pair will give you the base/first currency.

2) sell 10,000 USD.SGD, you will get 13,514 SGD. For this SELL, 10,000 USD will be deducted from your IB account. The commission charged is 2 USD. Selling a currency pair will give you the quote/second currency.

IB has a youtube channel with tutorials, i.e. Forex with WebTrader 

Hope this helps.

Is it a must to transact with  min USD25k via Ideal pro ?Can I use transect using SGD 8k?

How do I put a buy order for say ICBC? I key in 1398 (stock code), stock not found.

In webtrader, I can find ICBC by just typing 1398. See picture attached. The first one (SEHK) is ICBC stock listed in HKEX.
