However, if you purchased the September 2023 issue, you would be enjoying an average annual return of 3.06%.&nbsp;The only downside in this kind of scenario is that to get higher returns, you would need to spend time and effort again on buying these bonds. Not to mention the risk of not even getting full allotment due to oversubscription. That\u2019s what the investors of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turtleinvestor.net\/how-to-check-your-april-2023-singapore-savings-bonds-ssbs-allotment-results-over-subscribed\/\">April 2023 tranche<\/a> faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the Singapore Savings Bonds a good place for your spare cash?
