DBS and Samsung Securities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form a strategic partnership in wealth management, aiming to broaden client access between Korea’s capital markets and DBS’s global wealth platform. This collaboration, announced on 2 July 2026, seeks to leverage the strengths of both institutions to offer more diverse investment opportunities to clients in Asia.
The partnership is set to explore four key areas: enabling DBS clients to invest in solutions offered by Samsung Securities, providing Samsung Securities clients with access to DBS’s multi-asset global wealth solutions, enhancing client connectivity through advisory services, and sharing knowledge and capabilities in areas such as artificial intelligence and thought leadership in wealth management.
Park Jong-moon, President and CEO of Samsung Securities, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, “This partnership marks an important milestone in connecting Korean investors to global markets and bringing global opportunities to our clients.” Tan Su Shan, CEO of DBS, echoed this sentiment, noting that the collaboration would offer clients investment opportunities of a calibre few can match across Asia and beyond.
As Asia continues to establish itself as a global wealth management hub, this partnership between DBS and Samsung Securities is poised to provide clients with enhanced access to diverse markets and investment solutions. The strategic partnership agreement, which will follow the MOU, is expected to further solidify this collaboration, potentially expanding into other areas of financial services in the future.
