Great Eastern has unveiled the GreatLink Singapore Physical Gold Fund, marking Singapore’s first physical gold investment-linked policy fund. This innovative fund provides customers with a secure means to incorporate physical gold into their long-term financial strategies. The fund allows investors to gain exposure to physical gold bars, which are securely stored in Singapore and insured up to their full value.
The fund invests directly in the LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold Fund, managed by Lion Global Investors Limited. The gold backing the fund adheres to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards or is approved by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. This initiative aims to offer portfolio diversification and enhance resilience across market cycles.
Greg Hingston, Group CEO of Great Eastern, emphasised the importance of diversification in uncertain times, stating, “By offering physical gold exposure within our investment-linked solutions, we are giving wealth-planning and protection-focused customers an additional way to strengthen the resilience of their portfolios.”
The GreatLink Singapore Physical Gold Fund is available through selected Great Eastern investment-linked plans. Customers interested in this offering can visit Great Eastern’s website or consult with a financial representative.
This launch positions Great Eastern as the first financial services provider in Singapore to offer physical gold within a structured, insurance-based proposition. By collaborating with Lion Global Investors Limited, both part of the OCBC Group, Great Eastern integrates institutional-grade investment capabilities into its customer-centric financial planning solutions.
