Hou Wey Fook, chief investment officer at DBS Bank: “Uncertainty looks set to remain in the foreseeable future, as the world continues to grapple with a myriad of challenges including the pandemic, geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures, among others. Rising inflation and low rates will diminish consumer spending power in the years to come, which reinforces the need for customers to actively invest and grow their wealth. When investors start investing isn’t as important as how long they stay invested, and there’s no time like the present. In this new normal, it is important that they adopt a multi-asset, Barbell portfolio approach with underlying best-in-class companies.
“Our first Barbell fund was rolled out to wealth clients in August 2019 and has returned over 8% on an annualised basis. Subsequently, this strategy has won our clients’ confidence with assets under management growing to SGD 3 billion as at end March 2022. The DBS CIO Barbell Income Fund would employ this similar strategy with income generation as its objective.”
DBS plans to help one million customers in Singapore get insured and invested by 2023.
