Frankly speaking I really pulling money out of EPF to invest in the unit trust funds. After 4 years, the funds I put money into are still negative. While my EPF funds are growing steadily.

Unit trust funds and stock are all a scam by banks to make money for themselves.

It makes less interest than EPF.

I invested in stock in the past and lost money... cry.gif Unit trust is only slightly better but still not as good as EPF.

Difficult to withdraw or not, I can't say as I have no experience doing so. My father however has done so a couple of times to my knowledge and he has yet to complain about their procedures or processing lead time.

But as to whether EPF is worthy investment platform, unless you have the appetite for high risks, then EPF is a very sound platform. Have yet to see a FD offering higher return than EPF so far. But would be happily corrected if anyone knows otherwise!

FD is always lower than EPF , that's for sure.

Except during 1997 when interest rate skyrocketed. laugh.gif

Slightly better than EPF? Have yet to see any positive sign of that.

i said 'slightly better than stock NOT EPF'.

Stock is a big gambling den, anytime you can lose a lot of money.

Not scam la... you buy unit trust with high fees is it.

In the end it all depends on the fund you pick and it’s management fees. Do your due diligence first before any investment decisions. There are people making good money with higher returns than EPF. High risk high return.

Don’t buy lump sump la. DCA in.

You think we have so much free time to do research in real-life?
All the research papers are done by banks so of course, they will only publish the good side and not bad side.

In the past, there were no forums and most people don't know how to use internet.

Those bank agents will only tell you the good things and not bad things.

The bad thing is that we can lose the principle sum. The interest rate isn't as high as EPF either.

Those bank agents are scammers and I really want to scold them everytime I meet them.
