DBS and Avaloq expand 18-year partnership on wealth skills

DBS is aiming to grow its retail and assets under management to S$1t.

DBS and Avaloq have inked a memorandum of understanding expanding their 18-year partnership to develop wealth management skills for clients and advisers in Asia.

Potential initiatives include learning programmes, knowledge sharing sessions, and cross-functional exchanges, according to a joint statement on 25 September 2026.

DBS and Avaloq will explore the broader deployment of the Avaloq platform across DBS’ markets and business lines.

The two firms will also explore the joint development of capabilities and solutions spanning digital platforms, products, execution and future wealth management models.

DBS said that the expanded partnership is part of its goal to grow its retail and assets under management to S$1t by 2030.

DBS expects the partnership to strengthen the capability and capacity of its advisers and specialists to serve DBS’s wealth continuum.

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.
