The saving grace however is that the training allowance is 5.5k for some tracks and 4.5k for the others. Altho as a trainee you are ineligible for bonuses and CPF contributions.

Would say NCS is a more permanent option and less risky compared to TFIP as the traineeship partner FI might not take you in, but then again u might luck into somewhere like JPM so also quite rewarding. At the end of the day its your call.
Yes, you are right that this is a traineeship. But as you said, that is only provided if I am enrolled into good companies like JP Morgan as mentioned.

Of course there are some cons such as the lack of CPF and not being covered under the Employment Act.

Check your contract carefully, make sure you have the best outcome if you choose to leave now or a few years later. Especially on the training reimbursement if any.
Noted on that. I guess I am just feeling too indecisive and insecure at this point of time
