Singlife’s rebranded investment platform allies with BlackRock to produce tri-offering

More investment solutions are to be expected in the coming months.

GROW with Singlife, the integrated investment platform of Singlife, launched GROW x BlackRock Trio, a suite with three distinct investment products aimed at assisting investors in growing their wealth during challenging market conditions. 

The insurer said the trio is timely given the global economic volatility characterised by rising inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions. In this uncertain climate, investors seek products that preserve their capital while striving to generate sustainable returns to meet their long-term financial objectives. 

The GROW x BlackRock Trio products address these requirements by providing investors with targeted exposure to various asset classes. GROW customers will have exclusive access to all three funds within the GROW x BlackRock Trio portfolio.

The investment choices within the Trio include:

  • BlackRock Strategic Funds – Systematic Asia Pacific Equity Absolute Return Fund A2 SGD-Hedged: This is an alternative fund with broad exposure to Asian equity markets, designed to deliver consistent, low-volatility positive returns, irrespective of market fluctuations. The fund offers access to a liquid alternative strategy with a minimum investment of just S$200.
  • BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar Short Duration Bond Fund A10 SGD-Hedged: A fixed-income fund that primarily invests in high-quality short-term USD bonds, providing investors with diversified income sources and overall portfolio resilience. The fund aims to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution.
  • BlackRock Circular Economy Fund A5G SGD: This global cross-sector thematic equity fund focuses on companies leading the way in the transition to a net-zero carbon future. The fund's thematic exposure to sustainability is expected to complement long-term earnings growth. It offers a quarterly distributing share class, in addition to capital appreciation from equity investments.

The GROW x BlackRock Trio began its initial public offering on 18 September and is set for an official launch on 11 October. 

Both GROW and BlackRock signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 11 August 11 to introduce a diverse range of investment solutions tailored to a broad investor base. 

The insurer said more investment solutions are expected of this partnership.

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.
