Singlife, aberdeen launch new share class of global income bond fund

The fund invests substantially in global multi-sector bonds rated BBB and BB.

Singlife’s integrated investment platform GROW with Singlife (GROW) and aberdeen Investments has launched a new share class of the abrdn SICAV II–Global Income Bond Fund.

Currently exclusive to GROW, the A Gross Inc Hedged SGD offers investors a Yield to Worst of 6.5% (USD hedged) comprising monthly payouts with potential capital appreciation.

The fund invests substantially in global multi-sector bonds rated BBB and BB—appealing to both conservative investors seeking stability and pursuing higher returns.

“With rising life expectancy and increasing cost of living, many investors seek to secure reliable income to support their retirement goals. This fund represents an option for those seeking attractive, stable income solutions with controlled risks,” Tim Wong, head of product at GROW with Singlife, said.

In Singapore, reliable retirement income is becoming increasingly critical as a single senior citizen requires an estimated $685,000 to fund 20 years of retirement, or $2,856 per month, covering basic expenses.

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.
