Frequently asked questions about CPFIS

Who can invest under the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS)?
chevron

All CPF members who

  • are at least 18 years old;
  • are not undischarged bankrupts; and
  • have more than S$20,000 in their ordinary account (for investments under CPFIS-Ordinary account) and/or have more than S$40,000 in their special account (for investment under CPFIS-Special Account).

From 1 October 2018, if you are a new CPFIS investor, you will need to take the SAQ before you can start investing under CPFIS.

The CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS) Self-Awareness Questionnaire (SAQ) helps you assess if you have basic financial knowledge and whether CPFIS is suitable for you. The SAQ starts with learning modules on investment concepts, products and charges under CPFIS. You can access the SAQ via the CPF website after logging in with your SingPass.

Agent banks and product providers will require you to declare your SAQ status and/or ask to view a copy of your SAQ status for verification. You can participate in the CPFIS once you have taken the SAQ, regardless of your SAQ results. You can check your SAQ status here.

You can invest the balance of your CPF savings under

  1. CPF investment Scheme-OA (CPFIS-OA) after setting aside S$20,000 in your OA.
  2. CPF Investment Scheme-SA (CPFIS-SA) after setting aside S$40,000 in your SA.


Please refer to the list of instruments available for investment under the CPF Investment Scheme, and to find out how much of your CPF savings you can invest:

  • Login to CPF website using your SingPass to access myCPF Online Services – myStatement; or
  • Access myCPF mobile app on your iPhone or Android device using your SingPass; or
  • Visit any CPF Service Centre with your identity card.

You can approach any of the service/or product providers to buy or sell your investments.

CPFIS Included Fund

The Central Provident Fund ("CPF") interest rate for the Ordinary Account ("OA") is based on the 12-month fixed deposit and month-end savings rates of the major local banks. Under the CPF Act, the CPF Board pays a minimum interest of 2.5% per annum when this interest formula yields a lower rate.

From 1 Jan 2008, the new interest rate for the Special, Medisave and Retirement Accounts ("SMRA") will be pegged to the yield of 10-year Singapore Government Securities plus 1% or 4%, whichever is higher.. An announcement was made by the Government in September 2010 to maintain the 4.0% floor rate for the SMRA until 31 December 2011. Thereafter, interest rates on all CPF account monies will be subject to a minimum rate of 2.5% per annum, as prescribed by the CPF Act. In addition, from 1 January 2008, the CPF Board will pay an extra interest rate of 1% per annum on the first $60,000 of a CPF member’s combined balances, including up to $20,000 in the OA.

From 1 July 2010, the first $20,000 in the Ordinary Account and the first $40,000 in the Special Account will not be allowed to be invested under the CPF Investment Scheme ("CPFIS").
