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.

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.
