Funding for SG-based WealthTechs jumps seven-fold in 5 years

Total WealthTech funding in 2021 reached US$161m.

Singapore has proven itself again as a prime location for WealthTech startups in 2021 as the market amassed total funding of US$161m, a seven-fold jump from 2017.

In 2017, the total WealthTech funding was US$23m.

According to KPMG's WealthTech report, Singapore has "drastically outpaced" Asia in terms of growth in funding between 2017 and 2021.

In the five years, Asia's WealthTech funding grew two-fold to US$2.2b from US1.1b.

Singapore has likewise taken a bigger slice in Asia's growing wealth funding pie, with its total share rising from 2% to 7%.

KPMG said Singapore was able to further propel itself as a key WealthTech hub globally due to the "government support for technology and innovation" and its "ecosystem of WealthTech players accelerating the pace of innovation."

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.
