Starting from 1st July 2010, the first $40,000 of members’ Special Account balances will no longer be allowed to be used for investments.
There is no change to the requirement for members to set aside $20,000 in the Ordinary Account before they can invest their Ordinary Account monies.
If you have already bought investments under CPFIS-SA but do not have $40,000 in your SA, you will not be required to sell them. However, when you liquidate these investments, you would not be able to re-invest them unless you have at least $40,000 in your SA.
