5% Inflation, 2.5% CPF Returns: Is Your Retirement at Risk? [TFC #GE2025 Special 04 ft Chief Actuary]


Listen Later

Host Reggie is back with a fiery roundtable, joined by Adrian Tan (LinkedIn’s “Top Noise” fractional CMO), Anthony Ong (TFC co-host and policy enthusiast), and Alex Lee (ex-regulator-turned-actuary). They dive into the hottest debate of GE2025: Is CPF fit for the future?


Why listen?

- Policy showdown : SDP’s radical plan to abolish CPF minimum sums vs. WP’s push to co-invest with GIC.

- Inflation anxiety : Why 2.5% OA rates feel broken in a 5% inflation world.

- Retirement roulette : Can CPF adapt to longevity, cost-of-living crises, and a shifting social compact?


Anthony Ong drops a bomb: “CPF isn’t your retirement savior—it’s a political football.” Alex Lee warns: “Open the floodgates to equities, and risk a poverty crisis.” Meanwhile, Adrian Tan asks: “Why does ‘financial literacy’ still feel like a scam?”


Tune in for a no-holds-barred breakdown of CPF’s past, present, and uncertain future. Subscribe now —because your retirement (and your wallet) might depend on it.


“The TFC GE Special: Where policy meets panic. Let’s unpack the noise.”
