DBS offers RMB-denominated endowment plan

2.85% yield per annum rests on RMB-vs-USD appreciation in next 5 years.

"Although volatilities are expected in the short term, investors will likely see a gradual appreciation of the RMB against the USD over the next five years, making the Dragon Renminbi Plan’s five year tenure an attractive one," says DBS in a release announcing its new insurance plan.

Minimum investment will be at RMB250,000. The plan will be underwritten by Aviva and will pay out over five years.

The Dragon Renminbi Plan is their first Renminbi insurance product with a five year term, claims DBS.

"The plan provides investors with a mid-term financial planning solution into a currency that is expected to gradually appreciate in the next five years. Moreover, with the fixed return of 2.85%, it allows investors to gain access to China without taking on excessive market risk,” explained Mr. Newman.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
