By GlobalDataAt present, UOBAM Robo-Invest provides two exclusive portfolio options for Dash customers.
Its Global and Global Impact portfolios invest in both actively-managed funds and passively-managed exchange-traded funds across various industries and geographies.
In particular, the Global Impact portfolio allows investors to invest in companies that incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into their strategies and operations.
Singtel head of Financial and Lifestyle Services at Consumer Singapore Gilbert Chuah said: “This new investment service delivers on our commitment to make it simple, affordable, and convenient for Dash customers to manage their finances and build their wealth.
“We look forward to working with UOBAM as well as other established ecosystem partners to introduce more relevant and related financial and lifestyle products on Dash in the coming months.”
Last year, UOBAM launched a robo-advisory app for retail investors in Singapore.
