DBS to boost hiring of financial advisers in 2021

This will include hiring for the newly created insurance consultant role.

DBS will double its recruitment of financial planning advisers this year, with plans to hire more than 650 wealth planning managers and insurance consultants, a statement read.

The newly created insurance consultant role is supported by Manulife Singapore and allows for flexible hours and independence of a traditional financial advisor, whilst providing the institutional support and benefits akin to those enjoyed by DBS’ wealth planning managers.

The consultants will have access to resources from DBS and Manulife, including financial planning tools, training programmes, DBS’ broad customer base, and access to DBS meeting spaces in branches.

They will also be able to leverage insights from DBS NAV Planner, with the customer’s consent.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
