A word from the judges...

“Bank of Singapore’s award of Highly Commended Private Bank – Fund Advisory recognises its deep understanding of clients’ needs,” said Kylie Wong, senior data reporter of Asian Private Banker. “The bank addressed those needs with its network of expertise in Asia and emerging markets, with its broad global outlook, on top of delivering long-term investment outcomes and unique perspectives.

“Having launched its client-first Whole Portfolio Advisory framework in 2025, Bank of Singapore ensures investment decisions are strategically aligned with clients’ broader financial goals, risk appetites, and long-term aspirations. This forms a cohesive advisory model with the bank’s strategic asset allocation framework, enabling goal-driven portfolio management.

“Bank of Singapore also broadened its product shelf in 2025 with the launch of its Lion-BOS CIO Supertrend Multi-Asset Fund. This offered forward-looking, resilient growth through a single solution that combined active allocation with structural trends. Outside of this, the bank also added small-cap strategies as part of its efforts to build out its solutions.

“With these initiatives leading to strong advisory calls and more extensive client experiences, Bank of Singapore recorded strong net flows into mutual funds as well as top-tier investment performances.

“With these achievements, Bank of Singapore is poised to be awarded Highly Commended Private Bank – Fund Advisory.”
