Great Eastern debuts Singapore first physical gold ILP fund

It becomes the first local provider to embed physical gold bars into insurance policies.

Great Eastern has unveiled a physical gold investment-linked policy (ILP) fund which offers a secure way to gain exposure to gold as part of a customer’s long-term financial planning.

The company said this marks the first time a financial services provider in Singapore has offered physical gold as an asset class within an insurance-linked policy. 

The fund allows customers to gain exposure to physical gold bars that are vaulted in Singapore and insured up to their full value, with standard exclusions. 

This offering is intended to provide an additional option for customers seeking to diversify their portfolios and protect against inflation.

Great Eastern Group CEO Greg Hingston stated that this initiative gives wealth-planning customers an additional way to strengthen the resilience of their portfolios in an uncertain environment.

This product was developed through a collaboration between Great Eastern and Lion Global Investors, both of which are part of the OCBC Group. 

The fund is available for investment under selected Great Eastern investment-linked plans.

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.
