Are endowment plans good? i have been putting money in fixed deposits. but uob n dbs will always call me to pursuade me to buy these regular savings plan where i have to put in at least $800/month, and can only cash out after like 30 years.

their argument is that im losing alot of potential interest, but i feel that there is a lack of liquidity if my money is locked up with them

i also realised that there doesnt seem to be any threads here on endowment plans

any advice?

Stay away from bankers and insurance agents. Never believe them.

Don't go for endowment as they are long term and the rates are not guaranteed.

Can consider those single premium ones which are guaranteed if you ok with 2 or 3 years because now better than FD rates.

Back in Feb they had a promotion where if you open new account with 5K and keep for 6 months, you get $80. After 6 months, I enquired with their CSO regarding this $80. You know what? The CSO told me, oh the promotion is only limited to the first 200 new accounts opened each day and if eligible, will be credited only in mid Oct. I should have known better than to trust this bank.

Hi doratch, can you share why you use SRS over cash to buy the plan? Thanks!

I need to transfer money into SRS for tax relief.

I have already hit my FRS in CPF SA last year. So, the other way to reduce tax, is to transfer money into SRS a/c.
