Is the Singapore SSB Rates Projection Accurate?
You might wonder, how do we get these figures, and are the projections even accurate?
As mentioned, SSB technical specifications by MAS allow us to make these projections. However, as the math is complicated for the average person to understand, we’ll trust the results instead.
I Love SSB has done past SSB interest rate projections, and so far, they have all seen an accuracy rate above 95%!
The website even backtested data from 2015 onwards to further prove that the results are fairly accurate.
Here are some past projections:
As you can tell, the 10-year average return is pretty much on the money, while the other numbers aren’t too far off either!
How Can I Use the Singapore Bonds Interest Rate Projections to My Advantage?
Now that we can project future SSB interest rates, here’s how you can use that information to your advantage!
For starters, if you have a sum of money that you want to invest in Singapore Savings Bonds but have yet to do so, you may wait for the following month if it has a higher projected interest.
On theĀ other hand,Ā if interest is projected to be lower in the following month, quickly subscribe to the current SSB issue!
For seasoned SSB investors with previous allotments, you may use these projections to start a bond ladder.
You’ll essentially redeem an earlier SSB issue and reinvest it into a high-yielding SSB for more interest.
