Bank of Singapore grows DPM assets 20% in 2025

China, Hong Kong, Malaysia clients drove the DPM growth.

The Bank of Singapore reported a nearly 20% growth in assets under its discretionary portfolio management (DPM) service in 2025, with Singapore-focused mandates doubling in size over the year.

The increase was driven by strong demand from high-net-worth investors and family offices in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, seeking to diversify away from US dollar-denominated portfolios.

These mandates, which allocate 40–95% to Singapore equities, also invest in local bonds and cash.

Investors were attracted by Singapore’s high dividend yields (4–5%), a stable economy and currency, and government initiatives supporting equity markets.

The Bank’s Singapore-focused portfolios delivered double-digit returns in 2025, with one mandate achieving 12% annualised returns over five years, outperforming the MSCI Singapore Index.

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.
