Road Town, BVI / January 3, 2022 /SEAPRWire / – SAWA Crypto Fund Syndicate Protocol, a brainchild of Private Launch Crypto Venture and a transparent and safe way of participating in a public sale, has announced its decision to offer investors access to seed rounds with minimum investment. The company is designed to give prospective investors early access to fundamental projects, setting them on the path of becoming venture investors of top crypto projects. SAWA Crypto Fund Syndicate Protocol dispels the need for investors to search for projects, accounts, and nodes, it simply offers them early-stage access to protocols at an initial price. While there are a plethora of similar brands, they require users to deposit enormous sums to get an allocation of emerging projects. Recognizing this major sticking point, SAWA Crypto Fund Syndicate Protocol analyzes a project’s prospects for return on investments before recommending it to investors. In the last couple of years, the crypto market has witnessed a remarkable surge in interest and adoptions, from the integration of crypto into PayPal to the streamlined facilitation of crypto-fiat payments, and most recently, the incorporation of digital assets into classic brokers. With the market being diversified, Private Crypto Venture, through the launch of its product aims at introducing the possibilities of the crypto market for protocols that collect funding including, but not limited to, non-cryptocurrency projects, thus giving ordinary people an equal opportunity to invest. Citing Kraken exchange as an example of a platform that makes available numerous opportunities for large capital investors while offering ordinary investors limited opportunities, thereby creating an imbalance in demand. SAWA Crypto Fund Syndicate Protocol seeks to balance this by offering both large and small capital investors access to an array of opportunities with little investment required. It also aims at offering these prospective investors opportunities in NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, metaverse, and blockchain companies. Integrating a smart contract that will provide transparency and reliability and the introduction of experienced analysts, this company will try to offer a balanced investment opportunity for all kinds of investors. About Private Launch Crypto Venture A company designed to eliminate the imbalance synonymous with the investment market where only large capital investors get access to most emerging projects with prospects, Private Launch Crypto Venture, through the SAWA Crypto Fund Syndicate Protocol – a decentralized project on the ERC-20 network, aims at offering equal opportunities to everyone. Dispelling geographical restrictions, middlemen, and gatekeepers, this company tries to direct investors into buying shares or tokens of a blockchain-based project at the early stage for the initial price.

HONG KONG, Dec 14, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - E Fund Management (HK) Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce today (Tuesday) the launch of E Fund (HK) MSCI China A50 Connect ETF ("EFUND MSCI A50") on the HKEX. The stock code is 3111. The product is launched by E Fund HK. The fund tracks the MSCI China A50 Connect Index, which selects 50 stocks from the component stocks in the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, focusing on China's core assets.IMPORTANT INFORMATION:1.E Fund (HK) MSCI China A50 Connect ETF (the "Fund") is a passively managed exchange traded fund ("ETF") and is traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong ("SEHK") like stocks. The investment objective is to provide investment result that, before fees and expenses, closely corresponds to the performance of the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index (the "Index"). The Manager will adopt a combination of a physical representative sampling strategy and a synthetic representative sampling strategy. For direct investments in Index Securities listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, the Fund will invest primarily through the Stock Connect and/or the Manager's QFI status. By adopting a synthetic representative sampling sub-strategy (which involves investing up to 50% of its NAV in FDIs), the Fund will only invest directly in funded total return swap transaction(s)2.The Fund is subject to a) Investment risk, b) Equity market risk, c) New Index risk, d) Concentration risk and Mainland China market risks, e) Risks associated with the Stock Connect and QFI regime , f) Risks associated with investments in FDIs, g) Trading differences risk, h) Passive investments risk,, i) Trading risk, j) Tracking error risk, k) Dual counter risks, l) PRC tax risk, m) Reliance on market maker risk, n) Other currency distribution risk, o) Termination risk..3.Based on professional and independent tax advice, (i) the Fund will make relevant provision of 10% on dividend and distribution income from A-Shares if PRC corporate income tax ("CIT") is not withheld at source at the time when such income is received (where CIT is already withheld at source, no provision will be made) and (ii) the Manager does not currently make withholding income tax provision for gross realised or unrealised capital gains derived from trading of A-Shares (either via Stock Connect or QFI). 4.There are risks and uncertainties associated with the current PRC tax laws, regulations and practice in respect of capital gains realised via QFI or Stock Connect on investments in the PRC (may have retrospective effect). Any increased tax liabilities on the Fund may adversely affect the Fund's value. If taxes are levied in future on the Fund for which no provision is made, the Fund's NAV will be adversely affected. In this case, the then existing and subsequent investors will be disadvantaged as they will bear for a disproportionately higher amount of tax liabilities as compared to the liability at the time of investment in the Fund. 5.You should not make any investment decision solely based on the information on this material alone. Please read the relevant offering documents for details including the risk factors before making any investment decisions. Investment involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. This document has not been reviewed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.The MSCI China A50 Connect Index has three major characteristics: Firstly, the historical performance of the index is better than other main broad-based indexes. From the perspective of historical cumulative return rate, the price index return rate and the total return performance of investments with the dividends reinvested have all outperformed the CSI 300, FTSE Russell A50 and MSCI China A-Share Index (the parent index) in the past 10 years. Secondly, the industry distribution is balanced with a high proportion of new economy. Compared with other main broad-based indexes, the MSCI China A50 Connect Index has significantly increased the proportion of new energy, electronics, medicine and other sectors. Thirdly, the component stocks comprise leader companies in various industries, with excellent profitability and growth, which are regarded as China's core assets, which are highly recognized by foreign institutional investors. It is an effective investing tool for investors to focus on the A Shares leaders and capture the China opportunities.MSCI Company highly regards the importance of Chinese assets. In May 2018, MSCI officially announced the inclusion of China A Shares in its flagship index system. Through step-by-step implementation, MSCI increased the inclusion ratio of China A shares from 5% to 20% in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in 2019. The market expects the proportion of MSCI's inclusion of China A Shares may increase to 50% in 2027, which is equivalent to an average of 200-400 billion RMB flowing into China A Shares from overseas assets each year.HKEX Co-Head of Markets Wilfred Yiu said: "We warmly welcome the listing of E Fund (HK) MSCI China A50 Connect ETF that tracks the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index. It will join the increasingly diversified Connect product ecosystem in Hong Kong, enriching the choice for investors around the world, and providing another investment option for those seeking exposure to China assets. HKEX looks forward to working with its clients and the market on continuing to build Hong Kong's attractiveness as an offshore RMB hub and international trading, risk management and capital raising centre."Doug Walls, APAC Head of Index Products at MSCI, said, "The MSCI China A 50 Connect Index follows an innovative sector-balanced approach that aims to ensure diversified and balanced representation of the broader China A market. It is designed to enable international and domestic investors to track China's sector leaders and get exposure to the overall market, including the potential opportunities in China's new economy. The index marks another milestone since the inclusion of A-shares in MSCI indexes. At the same time, index-linked ETFs and other financial products will provide global investors with more opportunities to access the broad and diversified China market."Gaohui Huang, CEO of E Fund Management (HK), said, "With the increase of China's economic influence in the world and the further opening up of the financial markets, China A-share assets will play an even more important role in global investors' portfolios. We believe that E Fund (HK) MSCI China A 50 Connect ETF will become an essential tool for domestic and foreign investors to allocate A-share assets.

TORONTO, ON, Oct 20, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - DIGIMAX GLOBAL INC. (the "Company" or "DigiMax") (CSE: DIGI) is pleased to provide an update on several of the new initiatives it has engaged in the past several months, and an outlook on what lies ahead. DigiMax has embarked on several seemingly disparate projects that are now converging into a strong performing set of Artificial Intelligence assets, and a growing network of key partnerships that are starting to accelerate the growth of these assets. CryptoHawkAfter its first three stellar months of performance commencing with the launch June 1, 2021 in which gains of more than 50% were demonstrated for BTC and more than half that for ETH, CryptoHawk did appear to have a few hiccups in September. These have been more than offset in October and the prediction tool is continuing to provide extraordinary return opportunities. Added to this, the DigiMax team has developed a trading strategy that it has shared with its subscribers through webinars that it calls "Modulation." By waiting for a preset price flow after an indicator is published, CryptoHawk performance has been demonstrated to be nearly doubled in most months. Modulation also has the effect of cutting the number of trades by approximately 50%. A recent combined management and external study of CryptoHawk's (and including its predecessor CryptoDivine, together herein referred to as "CryptoHawk") Artificial Intelligence for predicting trading performance using published trading signals suggests that since January 1, 2021, an investment of $100,000 would be worth more than $1 million as of October 15, 2021 trading in Bitcoin and more than $5,000,000 trading in ETH. According to the study, these results could be achieved by reinvesting all profits from each trade into the next trade, trading long and short, and using the Modulation method DigiMax has developed. As subscribers are learning how simple, and less stressful, it is to use this Modulation method, CryptoHawk is becoming a very profitable tool even for the average investor. Potentially even more enticing than the returns, is the fact that the monthly variability in returns is actually very low. CryptoHawk is fully achieving its goal of harnessing the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, while delivery high, but stable, monthly returns to the investor.CryptoHawk Growth Fund This 2021 information is also useful for prospective investors into the CryptoHawk Growth Fund (the "Fund") based in the Cayman Islands, that recently started trading. Investment into that fund was seeded by a US$1 million deposit into the Fund by DigiMax. Additional investors have shown great interest in the back testing results but most are watching for actual results of the fund prior to making large investments. As a result, DigiMax is pleased that is attracting lots of attention from primarily institutional investors, knowing that the Assets Under Management will accelerate more in the second half of the first year of operation more than the first. The back testing results, combined with the 1% modulation strategy is being studied and used in real time by a growing number of CryptoHawk subscribers with some already achieving significantly positive results. Results at the Fund have been very strong after a late start in September caused by funds not flowing through the banks on time to commence trading on September 1. This resulted in getting in late on a great CryptoHawk bullish indicator and suffering opening losses as a result. Since then, the Fund has risen 30% above the low and is experiencing weekly gains similar to the Modulation gains described above. Commodity Hawk Growth Fund The Commodity Fund and the institutional targeted prediction service is on track to commence before the end of the year. DigiMax is using a combination of its own AI and proven AI developed by Delphi to produce a similar suite of products to CryptoHawk. Results of internal trading of these predictions has been equal to the Modulation returns for CryptoHawk and DigiMax is excited to share these products through the same investor network as is being developed for the CryptoHawk FundDigiMax believes the opportunity for the AI driven Commodities Fund is enormous as commodities are fast becoming the number-one sector for investors around the globe. ETF Funds While not confirmed 100%, DigiMax has researched offering long-only funds similar to ETF's and expects to confirm this intention in the near future. This would allow investors to move funds between the DigiMax Fund family that would include US Cash, the Hawk Funds and the ETF Funds to provide whatever balance each investor is seeking. We believe this will accelerate the accumulation of capital invested at the front end of the life of the Funds. Partnerships, Affiliates, and MarketingDigiMax continues to expand its relationships with Crypto Exchanges with more official relationships expected to be announced on an ongoing basis. These would be similar in structure to the relationship announced with Bitget Exchange. The launch of collaborative activities was slowed by issues between countries but this has been worked out and the collaboration is expected to grow quickly going forward.The efforts to expand awareness in Asia is seeing very positive results. There are now CryptoHawk websites available in both Korean and Chinese languages and the CryptoHawk app is available in Chinese as well. These efforts are supporting a growing number of followers in these countries with an increase in subscriptions expected to follow. With Asian marketing efforts now operating quite smoothly, attention is being refocused on North America with additional social media platforms being added and numerous articles being present across a wide array of financial media. While not all affiliates are being announced in public, a growing number of smaller partners are beginning to access our affiliate program whereby they can join CryptoHawk to their own network and automatically share in some of the revenues generated from their referral efforts. Finally, at the request of multiple partners, we have added a 7-day free trial that does not require a credit card to be filed in advance of the 7-day free trial that does require credit card registration. This has resulted in a substantial increase in daily new trials and we expect an acceleration of new subscribers. Looking AheadThe effort to bring these products to market all since late February of this year has been extraordinary and DigiMax is very proud of the hard work its team of very talented people have put forth to get to this stage. As a result, we now have a much more seamless operation consisting of a base Artificial Intelligence core, and a growing marketing team that is reaching out to a common group of investors. This organic effort is resulting in a growing awareness in the investor community around the world and an accelerating adoption of these products. As this happens, we expect to add key personnel assets where required to both assist in, and accelerate this growth. Going forward we expect to add additional "channels" to market by through new partnerships with exchanges, and by reaching out to different large groups around the world that have different associations with cryptocurrencies. Finally, momentum continues to build with the other assets owned by DigiMax including the personnel products offered to larger organizations and the investment in Kirobo. Both of these will be discussed in more detail in separate releases during Q4 of this calendar year.

VYSYN Ventures launches $30 Million fund to support Polygon-based gaming projects Mahe, Seychelles / SEAPRWire / September 21, 2021 / – VYSYN Ventures, a longstanding cryptocurrency venture capital fund, is launching a $30 million fund that will be focused on allocating investments exclusively to the rapidly growing field of blockchain-based gaming. In recent years, VYSYN has allocated significant investments and provided substantial support to a number of gaming-focused projects. After noticing some recent developments and rising interest in blockchain gaming, VYSYN has committed to ramping up it’s investments and support in the field of decentralized gaming. The fund will be mainly focused on supporting gaming projects that are building on the Polygon Network. VYSYN has a long history in the world of decentralized gaming and it has held significant long-term positions in blockchain-gaming projects including Ultra, My Neighbor Alice, and Axie Infinity. VYSYN supported Ultra during its seed round of fundraising 2018 and has provided significant support to the project by helping in areas such as marketing and development resources. Ultra has since grown to rank among the top gaming-focused blockchain projects and currently has a market valuation of over $600 million. Similarly, VYSYN provided significant support to My Neighbor Alice at an early stage by investing during the private sale fundraising round. VYSYN has also been a significant investor in Axie Infinity, the largest blockchain-based gaming project and pioneer of the play-to-earn movement. After noticing the vast potential of Axie Infinity and the earning potential it offered to netizens worldwide, VYSYN strategically built a considerable position in the AXS token by accumulating large amounts on the open market. Due to these acquisitions and the subsequent appreciation and success of Axie Infinity, AXS still represents a significant portion of VYSYN Ventures overall portfolio. VYSYN Ventures anticipates that decentralized gaming will be the next major and sustainable trend in the blockchain industry. Decentralized finance experienced exponential growth in 2020 as it offered users lucrative earning opportunities through participation in decentralized credit markets. Throughout 2020, the total-value locked in DeFi grew by a factor of roughly thirty and has continued to grow to even greater multiples in 2021. Similarly, blockchain-based gaming is offering lucrative earning potential to blockchain users worldwide and is also relevant to a much wider audience. The total number of Web3 wallet addresses associated with the Defi space is roughly 3 million. However, the number of gamers worldwide is over 2 billion and a growing share of these are transitioning into the world of decentralized gaming as they recognize the vast earning potential the space offers. “The blockchain industry is on the precipice of a major shift. Increasing amounts of value and attention are turning to decentralized gaming as the field innovates and offers more and more opportunities for internet users worldwide. This is particularly evident in the growing play-to-earn movement, which is offering lucrative and sustainable earning opportunities to anyone with an internet connection. VYSYN Ventures anticipates that blockchain gaming will grow exponentially in the coming years and we are establishing the $30 million gaming-focused fund to strategically allocate to this area.” – KVESTOR, VYSYN Ventures CEO The $30 million fund will primarily support gaming projects that are utilizing the Polygon Network as their underlying structure. The Polygon Network offers a low-cost high-throughput settlement layer that is hosting a growing share of cutting-edge decentralized applications. VYSYN has worked closely with the Polygon team in supporting several previous projects and has never ceased to be amazed at the professionalism and skill of the Polygon team. VYSYN wishes to strengthen their collaborative efforts with the Polygon team. For this reason, the fund will mainly support gaming projects that are deploying their technology on Polygon. However, the fund will not be limited exclusively to Polygon and disruptive projects utilizing other chains may also warrant support. Any prospective gaming projects that need comprehensive support and investment can reach out to the fund by emailing hello@vysyn.io. The VYSYN Gaming fund will provide versatile support in areas such as funding, marketing assistance, and connections to entities such as industry influencers and exchanges. VYSYN Ventures foresees the growth in blockchain-based gaming vastly outpacing other blockchain niches in the coming years and it is positioning itself to be a major investor in this field with the launch of this initiative.

SINGAPORE - The Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) pioneer engineering batch of 1985 on Wednesday (Dec 30) launched an endowment fund in honour of their late Emeritus Professor Chen Charng Ning. Prof Chen, who was founding dean of NTU's then-School of Civil and Structural Engineering, a deputy president of the university, and founding chairman of the Building and Construction Authority, died on Nov 30 last year. He was 80. He was also board chairman of Santarli Holdings, whose construction arm seeded $1 million to the fund "without hesitation", according to former Member of Parliament Ms Lee Bee Wah. She co-chairs the endowment fund committee alongside fellow ex-MP Mr Inderjit Singh. They are both from the 1985 cohort. The fund aims to award scholarships worth up to $15,000 and bursaries of up to $10,000 annually, for engineering undergraduates from underprivileged families. It is already halfway to its goal of raising at least $2 million. Speaking as guest-of-honour at the launch, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said that for every dollar raised, the Government will contribute $1.50 to NTU's general endowment fund. "On top of this, the Government also provides a 250 per cent tax deduction to the donor. So in total, for every dollar donated, the Government contributes $2 or more," added Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister. Mr Heng said the endowment fund is particularly meaningful in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. "Many undergraduates and their families are going through difficult times, and your generosity can help ensure we maintain social mobility." Speakers at the event took turns to describe the late Prof Chen's lasting legacy. In Ms Lee's welcome address, she said Prof Chen was a caring and kind-hearted fatherly figure as well as an excellent teacher. "Many of his students are doing very well in the (construction) industry, and we owe it to him for imparting his knowledge to us," she said. "Prof Chen's teachings and the memories he gave us have left a profound impact on our lives. It is only befitting that we do something to honour him." Her batchmates collectively felt the most meaningful way to do so would be to set up an endowment fund, said Ms Lee. "The importance of education is why Prof Chen went into the profession to impart his knowledge to us," she added. "We should pay it forward, by doing our part to make quality education accessible and affordable for our next generation of Singaporeans." More on this topic Related Story NTU employees donate more than 20,000 days of leave worth over $10 million to help students Related Story Family of late NIE don gives $120k for endowment to spur character and citizenship education NTU provost Ling San described Prof Chen as a pioneer who laid the foundation for the university's strengths, and an exemplary figure who inspired the type of giving spirit NTU hopes to instil in its students and alumni. Mr Heng, who is also coordinating minister for economic policies, said Prof Chen left an indelible mark not just on his students and Singapore, but also on the international stage. "He was appointed by the World Bank on numerous occasions to work on projects, including in China, Vietnam and Laos. His work helped to improve the lives of many people in the region." Later, in closing remarks, Mr Singh shared that the class of 1985 had first decided to start raising funds for NTU in 2005 - and by 2010, had contributed more than $3 million in donations to the university. Its newly-launched endowment fund in 2020 marks the cohort's 35th year of graduation, and its continued efforts in giving back to NTU, said Mr Singh. In October this year, the family of Dr Ong Yong Peng, a National Institute of Education (NIE) don who died last year, gave $120,000 for an endowment to spur character and citizenship education (CCE). It followed an NTU Priorities Fund which was seeded and launched in April with a personal gift of $100,000 from NTU president Subra Suresh and his wife Mary Suresh. As of August, it had attracted donations of about $1.5 million in total.
SINGAPORE - A $4 million fund has been set up to help Singaporean households with family members who are unemployed amid the pandemic. Each eligible household will receive a one-time payout of $500. The Ngee Ann Kongsi-Community Development Council (CDC) Covid-19 Relief Fund was launched on Monday (Nov 2) by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat and the five mayors, who are also chairmen of the CDCs. At the ceremony, Mr Jamie Teo, president of non-profit organisation Ngee Ang Kongsi presented a $2 million cheque to the mayors. The CDCs also pledged $2 million to the fund. Itis targeted at Singaporeans aged 21 and above who are currently unemployed and have experienced income loss due to non-voluntary no-pay leave, retrenchment or termination for at least three months at point of application. The CDCs will work with community partners to identify eligible Singaporeans from Nov 15 onwards. In a speech, Mr Heng said that the Government has committed close to $100 billion to support workers, businesses and families, most of which is disbursed through national-level schemes. "But some Singaporeans and their families do face unique or urgent circumstances, which require more targeted solutions. This is where different parts of our society can come together to complement our national efforts to help," he added. He encouraged more companies, community partners and individuals to come forward to support Singaporeans, in particular those who are vulnerable. Ms Low Yen Ling, chairman of the Mayor's Committee and also mayor of the South West District, said that the fund demonstrates the strength of community bonds to uplift Singaporeans who have lost their jobs.

SINGAPORE, Oct 26, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - Endowus.com, Singapore's leading MAS-licensed digital wealth management platform and the first and only digital advisor for the Central Provident Fund (CPF), has announced the launch of their new investment solution - Fund Smart. Singapore investors can now build investment portfolios from a selection of institutional share-class and trailer-fee free funds curated by the Endowus Investment Office, led by Samuel Rhee, Chairman & Chief Investment Officer at Endowus. This new solution gives investors the ability to customise their fund allocations, analyse the historical and projected performance, as well as look-through the underlying exposure and total costs across the selected funds. It also provides real time advice to investors on the suitability of the portfolio they have created against their financial needs. Similar to existing Endowus investment offerings, Fund Smart has no sales fees, no transaction fees, no lock-ups and 100% trailer fee rebates. Endowus has also built in automated rebalancing and regular savings plans capabilities to improve the client investment experience.Endowus launched a market survey to better understand Singaporeans' investment preferences and needs prior to designing Fund Smart. The majority of respondents indicated a strong preference for the flexibility to customise their own investment portfolios, with exposure to specific geographies or sectors (74.5%) and lower costs (84%) as key considerations. Endowus Investment Office sought to design a differentiated investment solution to take into consideration Singaporeans' investment needs and also provide quality advice in the form of curated fund selection and model portfolios. Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer at Endowus, said: "Fund Smart's value proposition is clear. People struggle with too many options - a growing array of platforms, and far too many funds to choose from with confusing fee structures. Transparency is important to us as it should be to our clients. We want our clients to experience the same quality of advice we have provided with our core portfolio products, but now with greater flexibility as we introduce a new way of investing through Fund Smart. Stick to our advised and new model portfolios, or make the tweaks you need. It's that simple. And at the same low and aligned fees you can't get elsewhere."The curated model portfolios include an ultra-defensive fixed income portfolio to prioritise capital preservation to weather volatility in markets and also flexible cash management solutions, as well as thematic and sector-focused portfolios such as ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) or SRI (Socially Responsible Investing) funds, Shariah-compliant funds, and thematic funds.Funds available on Fund Smart include those managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors, PIMCO, Vanguard, Schroders, First Sentier, Franklin Templeton, Eastspring, Fidelity, PineBridge, Legg Mason, Fullerton, Lion Global, Nikko, and UOB Asset Management.Endowus' no sales fee and 100% trailer fee rebate policy not only lowers the total cost of investment, but also ensures alignment of interests with the investors. As a fee-only advisory firm, Endowus is not incentivised by product providers paying them hidden sales kickbacks. The average net cost of managing portfolios with Endowus is 65% cheaper than trying to replicate the portfolios on popular platforms and private banks in the market. Kimberley Stafford, Managing Director and Head of PIMCO Asia Pacific said, "PIMCO has had the pleasure to collaborate with Endowus since their launch. With its unique solution offerings and the launch of the new innovative Fund Smart solution, we believe Endowus, as an industry leading digital wealth management platform, will help broaden PIMCO's outreach to retail investors in Singapore and provide them with the access to our fuller range of global fixed income investment solutions."Gregory Van, Founding Partner at Endowus, said "Fund Smart provides transparency and flexibility for clients to express their investment views through access to best-in-class funds, all on a secure wealth platform that is home to all their money - Cash, CPF and SRS. We will continue to help clients cut through the clutter, keep fees low and aligned, and improve everyone's investment experience."Joel Kim, CEO of Dimensional Asia ex-Japan, said "Dimensional is pleased to have worked with Endowus since they started serving Singaporean investors. They are one of the pioneers of fee-based independent advice in Singapore with a strong focus on low cost, transparent and systematic approach to investing. Endowus' launch of the Fund Smart solution is a significant evolution in their advice offering for Singaporeans wishing to invest more of their savings with Dimensional through Endowus."Safety and Security together with Ease of Use Are Still ImportantAccording to the investor survey conducted, the safety and security of the platform (83.9%) are crucial deciding factors in determining where Singaporeans invest.
