About the session

Love it or not, your CPF is here to stay. The mandatory savings scheme carves out a significant chunk of Singaporeans’ monthly salaries. Given this monthly savings routine, you may then ask:‍

Am I making the most out of my CPF, and will it be enough for my retirement? 

Indeed, your CPF savings should be worked harder for all your retirement needs. It has been the mission of many Singaporeans to find the most effective way to grow this pool of their hard-earned money. 

One such person is Loo Cheng Chuan, better known today as the “CPF millionaire”. Mr Loo is the founder of the 1M65 Movement — the movement to hit $1 million in your CPF by age 65 – a goal that he’s now surpassed, having hit $1 million at the age of 50. 

He has since updated his ambitions to feature other goals like 4M65, 5M65 and now, 1M50E: $1 million in your CPF portfolio on Endowus. 

To share more about his new milestone, we’ve invited special guest Mr Loo to speak with Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Endowus. 

1. How can you grow your CPF retirement nest egg with Endowus?
2. How Mr Loo grew his CPF retirement funds to $1M
3. Lump-sum vs. DCA - which wins in the long term?
4. What should new investors do to get started on this journey?

There will be a Q&A segment at the end of the session. Submit your questions here.
