Rating of CPF approved funds

COMMENT POSTED IN MY BLOG

Mr Tan, someone like yourself needs to tell the guys at CPF exactly that a fund is safer than buying a stock.

The guys at CPF are wasting money getting the fund rated by Mercer. This indirectly means that consumers wil end up paying for something that is actually better for the average conservative investor.

It is bizzare that CPF allows someone to buy up to their stock limit in one stock while "worry" about someone buying into a fund.

The CPF guys are either trying to protect themeselves by getting the fund mangement company to pay Mercer so that Mercer can be used as a scapegoat if something goes wrong.

REPLY:

Not all funds are well diversified and safe. It is necessary for the fund to be rated. This is why CPF appointed Mercer to do the rating.
