Singlife’s rebranded investment platform allies with BlackRock to produce tri-offering

More investment solutions are to be expected in the coming months.

GROW with Singlife, the integrated investment platform of Singlife, launched GROW x BlackRock Trio, a suite with three distinct investment products aimed at assisting investors in growing their wealth during challenging market conditions. 

The insurer said the trio is timely given the global economic volatility characterised by rising inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions. In this uncertain climate, investors seek products that preserve their capital while striving to generate sustainable returns to meet their long-term financial objectives. 

The GROW x BlackRock Trio products address these requirements by providing investors with targeted exposure to various asset classes. GROW customers will have exclusive access to all three funds within the GROW x BlackRock Trio portfolio.

The fund offers access to a liquid alternative strategy with a minimum investment of just S$200.
• BlackRock Global Funds US Dollar Short Duration Bond Fund A10 SGD-Hedged: A fixed-income fund that primarily invests in high-quality short-term USD bonds, providing investors with diversified income sources and overall portfolio resilience.

The fund's thematic exposure to sustainability is expected to complement long-term earnings growth.
