S1E63: CPF Life vs ILP: a false choice?

Are financial advisors steering you wrong on retirement? In this eye-opening episode of WealthBT, host Genevieve Cua and financial expert Christopher Tan of Providend expose a common, yet risky, sales pitch that pits CPF Life against investment-linked policies (ILPs).

Before you compromise your secure retirement income, understand the distinction between product and process, and learn the best way to guard against financial mis-selling.
