Shielding can't be done after 2024. See CPF changes: https://forums.salary.sg/cpf-central...em-2024-a.html |

Unregistered | One point not mentioned in this thread is that after reaching retirement age, you can withdraw from OA and SA any time (subject to some rules), but you can’t withdraw from RA account. Hence, to the person who asked why not transfer from OA to RA to earn a higher interest, the answer is that if you have more than FRS amount in SA before age 55, it’s best to “shield” some money so that there’s more money in SA (earning higher interest) than in OA even though you can withdraw from both OA and SA. | |

Has anyone purchase T-Bills using SA for CPF shielding. I called up my CPFIS bank (UOB) and they said it is not managed thru them. I searched CPF website but T-bills is not listed -> s://.cpf.gov.sg/member/growing-your-savings/earning-higher-returns/investing-your-cpf-savings Thanks |

After 55, no. See: https://www.cpf.gov.sg/member/faq/gr...s-to-my-specia "No, you will not be able to make CPF transfers to your Special Account (SA) after you turn 55. The Retirement Account (RA) was created for your retirement needs when you turned 55. Hence, top-ups to boost payouts will have to be made to the RA instead of SA." |

Unregistered | Can't you just transfer from OA to SA after you turn 55? | |

Check out this asiaone article on the same topic. Before you turn 55 years old: Step one: Calculate how much you need to transfer out of your CPF SA, in order to keep just $40,000 in the account Step two: Transfer that amount of money out of your CPF SA by investing the money in a low risk investment product (more on this in the section below) Note, you’ll need to be able to invest under the CPFIS before you can do this. After you turn 55 years old: Step three: Wait and check for your CPF RA to be formed Step four: Cash out by selling your investments Step five: Transfer the money back into your CPF SA Step six (optional): Consider topping up your CPF RA up to the Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS) to enjoy higher monthly payouts during your retirement |

Suppose you have: OA 151k SA 151k Without shielding, after you turn 55, you will have: OA 121k <-- 2.5% SA 0k RA 181k With shielding (after T-Bills mature): OA 10k SA 111k <-- 4% RA 40k+141k The difference is that you will have 111k earning 1.5% more. |
