Emergency fundIs it wise to use your emergency funds for short term savings with higher interest? For example Great Eastern Guaranteed Returns Of 1.55%p.a, a 3-year single premium plan.

Consider whether it is worth it to lose the interest (and maybe even principal) if you withdraw halfway. If not, better to leave in savings or singapore savings bonds

That's GE thing guaranteed return only upon maturity though. Like ham said, will consider whether there is potential loss if I urgently need to use the funds. Don't wanna be forced by emergencies to liquidate at a loss.

I would consider whether there’s any loss if I suddenly want to get my money back since it’s for emergency use.
Previously I bought Singapore Savings Bond since it can be easily redeemed if I urgently need the money.
