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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
