Smart Financial Planning For Your Retirement (Third Edition)

Aging is a major concern in many countries and Singapore is no exception. To ensure that you are well provided for in your retirement days, it pays to plan for retirement early, and with a reasonably good knowledge of the techniques and the availability of investment products. This book provides the know-hows to do this and covers areas that include:

Determining the amount you need to accumulate before you retire in order to attain a certain standard of living;

Examining the various instruments such as insurance and annuities, shares, unit trusts, bonds, property, foreign currencies and bank deposits;

The CPF Investment Scheme, Medisave, MediShield, MediShield Plus and Minimum Sum Scheme to help you plan for your retirement;

Estate Planning — wills, for example, and its importance to your personal life;

Non-financial issues on retirement such as health care and leisure activities.

For the Malaysian readers, an in-depth discussion on the Employers’ Provident Fund (EPF) is included in this third edition.

The authors like to believe that Smart Financial Planning For Your Retirement is the first of its kind in Singapore and Malaysia, and that it provides all the information you need, in just one book.
