Focus Group Discussions on enhancement to CPF

CPF Advis­ory Pan­el has just announced a series of Focus Group Dis­cus­sions (FGD) to be con­duc­ted from mid-Novem­ber 2014 to mid-Janu­ary 2015. The dis­cus­sion will be on the fol­low­ing top­ics:-

1. Min­im­um Sum — how to adjust bey­ond 2015 for future retir­ees
2. Lump sum with­draw­als at age 65 years — how much should CPF mem­bers be able to with­draw and under what con­di­tions
3. CPF pay­outs — how could CPF pay­outs be adjus­ted to address cost of liv­ing increases over time
4. Altern­at­ive invest­ments and annu­it­ies — how to provide more flex­ib­il­ity for CPF mem­bers who are pre­pared to take on more risks.
