Lion Global Investors has announced that the LionGlobal Singapore Trust Fund has exceeded S$1.25b in assets under management. This milestone follows the firm’s appointment by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Equity Market Development Programme in November 2025. The fund’s growth reflects increased interest from both institutional and retail investors in Singapore-listed assets, highlighting Singapore’s stability as a capital market.
The fund has seen a surge in secondary market liquidity and new capital inflows, driven by strategic allocations in resilient sectors. Teo Joo Wah, CEO of Lion Global Investors, stated, “Crossing the S$1.25b mark for the LionGlobal Singapore Trust Fund is a validation of our long-term vision of Singapore as a sound and stable capital market.”
OCBC has played a crucial role in the fund’s recent growth, contributing S$600m in net inflows through its wealth management channels. Tan Siew Lee, Head of Group Wealth Management at OCBC, noted the growing investor interest in Singapore equities due to policy stability and predictable income.
The fund’s performance has been impressive, delivering a 33.7% return over the past year, outperforming its benchmark by 12.7%. This success is attributed to the fund’s focus on the small- and mid-capitalisation segment, which has generated significant returns.
Lion Global Investors remains committed to the Singapore market, managing over S$30b across various strategies. The firm continues to innovate, offering solutions like the LionGlobal Short Duration Bond Fund and Singapore’s first gold fund, reinforcing its role in strengthening Singapore’s capital markets.
