Singapore Platform
PRIVATE WEALTH-GRADE CUSTODY
Set up an individual or family-office account with Singapore-licensed platforms. Ideal for HNIs seeking global private banking.
The Premier Asian Wealth Hub
Singapore is Asia's top wealth management hub. Booking assets there provides insulation from domestic risks and grants access to sophisticated advisory, bespoke thematic portfolios, and robust alternative investments.
Institutional Custody
Assets are held in a AAA-rated sovereign jurisdiction, ensuring maximum safety, privacy, and political stability.
0% SG Capital Gains Tax
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax. However, Indian tax residents must still pay Indian taxes on global gains. You must become an NRI to benefit fully.
Global Wealth Management
Gain access to private equity, hedge funds, Lombard lending, and bespoke structured notes usually reserved for UHNWIs.
Premium Barrier to Entry
Account maintenance, transaction fees, and management costs tend to be on the higher side compared to pure brokerages.
Singapore Banks
RELATIONSHIP-DRIVEN GLOBAL ACCOUNTS
Crucial Note: Opening a private banking or brokerage account directly in Singapore as an Indian resident generally requires an existing premium relationship with the bank's Indian branch (e.g., Citigold, HSBC Premier). This introduces a high capital barrier, and overall maintenance costs are on the higher side.
