With the stated 2.44%, does it mean if you invest this month, your returns would be 2.44% pa over 10 years? No fluctuations? Thanks

once you buy in, the coupon payment is in the formed of increasing % and not an even 2.44%. this is because, they do not know how long you will be invested, so they slowly return you when you stay longer.

Hi Wanderlust, the singapore rates seem very much linked to the strength of the USD and in the past USD and their interest rates have been doing very well against the SGD. In recent months they have moderated downwards.

That said, when the news and media keep saying interest rate is going to rise, every one have the idea its a one way elevator up. it is not. hence you get fluctuations like this. hope it helps.
