EPF Investment

Effective 1 November 2007, EPF under its ”Beyond Savings” strategic initiative has introduced various enhancements to member’s benefit structure in stages. These enhancements are in accordance to the EPF Act 1991 (Amendment 2007) . One of the enhancements is the introduction of the basic savings concept that will be used to determine the minimum sum a member is allowed to withdraw from Account 1 for Investment Withdrawal.

Effective 1 February 2008, members can invest not more than 20% of their credit in excess of Basic Savings in Account 1 in products through approved external fund managers.

A member needs to have a basic savings amount at the predetermined age levels. Amount in excess of the basic savings can be invested in products offered by external fund managers approved by the Ministry of Finance.

For details please refer to our financial representatives.
