Japan has always been a corporate, not an economic, revival story. With ongoing corporate reforms, investors will discover that many Japanese companies are mispriced and valued much lower versus global peers, which suggest more upside potential.

Important notes
# Higher Risk – Narrowly Focused – Country - Japan.
The CPF interest rate for the Ordinary Account (OA) is computed based on the 3-month average of major local banks’ interest rates, subject to the legislated minimum interest of 2.5% per annum. The interest rate for OA is reviewed quarterly. The CPF interest rate for the Special Account (SA) and Medisave Account (collectively, the “SMA”) is computed based on the 12-month average yield of 10-year Singapore Government Securities (10YSGS) plus 1%, subject to the current floor interest rate of 4% per annum. The interest rate for SMA is reviewed quarterly. The CPF interest rate for Retirement Account (RA) savings is computed based on the 12-month average yield of the 10YSGS plus 1%, subject to the current floor interest rate of 4% per annum. The interest rate of the RA is reviewed quarterly. The interest credited to the RA is based on the weighted average interest rate of the entire invested portfolio. As at the date of this Singapore Prospectus, the Singapore Government will maintain the SMA and RA interest rates at the minimum rate of 4.0% per annum for interest earned on all SMA and RA monies until 31 December 2024. The SMA and RA interest rates will be 4.08% per annum from 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2024. Thereafter, interest rates on all CPF account monies will be subject to a minimum rate of 2.5% per annum (unless the Singapore Government extends the 4% floor rate for interest earned on all SMA and RA monies). To enhance the retirement savings of Singaporeans, the CPF Board pays extra interest of 1% on the first S$60,000 of your combined CPF balances (capped at $20,000 for OA) for CPF members below 55 years old. CPF members aged 55 and above will earn an additional 2% interest on the first S$30,000 of their combined CPF balances (capped at S$20,000 for OA), and an extra 1% interest on the next S$30,000. You could receive up to 6% on a portion of your CPF balances (depending on your age). Please note that the first S$20,000 in your OA and the first S$40,000 in your SA need to be set aside prior to investing OA and SA monies. Please refer to the CPF website for further information.
