MoneySense is a good source of info, for beginner. You might want to take a look and do your own research there.

2 cents :
If you are a high net worth individual, probably you may consider to invest in funds managed by d.o.g. OR funds managed by Mr. Yeo (Yeoman Capital Management) or funds managed by Eric Kong (Aggregate Asset Management) OR other funds, not just Unit Trust.

CPF savings can only used to invest in CPF approved funds.
The 65% part of the OA fund is the most difficult to invest due to the imposed limitations.

Many will like to have your kind of headache. .
I had done some research few years ago but I had given up on most CPF approved unit trusts except Aberdeen Singapore Equity Fund.
STI-ETF is ok too.

Basically, I just leave it there waiting for opportunities, either a stock market crash or property crash.

Kind of curious why you sold off your CPF share instead of staying invested. Can share?

Hi egghead, bcos most of my stks are speculative.
Getting busy nowadays, so decided to liquidate all of it
