MAS-licenced MoneyOwl to wind down financial advisory business

The company found that its advisory business is not financially viable.

Financial adviser, MoneyOwl, declared that it will “wind down” its financial advisory business and its commercial activities will cease by year-end.

The decision to wind down follows a joint review by the company and its shareholder, NTUC Enterprise Cooperative Limited. 

The review revealed that the business would not be commercially viable, and a “decision was made to redeploy resources to other areas where NTUC Enterprise can deliver a greater social impact.”

During the process, MoneyOwl will transfer its investment and insurance businesses to iFAST Financial Pte Ltd, which will reach out to MoneyOwl clients from September 2023. 

Investment clients may transact on MoneyOwl’s portal until October 24, 2023, and can do so on iFAST’s portal from October 25, 2023. The firm will cease to accept new insurance applications after September 8, 2023. 

iFAST is the existing custodian of MoneyOwl clients’ investment accounts. As part of the business transfer to iFAST, all MoneyOwl clients can continue to enjoy digital access to their portfolios via the iFAST platform at the same level of fees, as well as access to iFAST’s team of more than 60 advisers for both investments and insurance.

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.
