Singlife, in collaboration with Lion Global Investors (LGI), has introduced the LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold Fund, marking the first insured physical gold fund in Singapore. This innovative fund allows retail investors to gain exposure to physical gold without the need to purchase, store, or insure gold bars themselves. The gold bars, meeting the “Good Delivery” standards of the London Bullion Market Association, are securely stored and insured in Singapore.
The fund aims to track the LBMA Gold Price AM benchmark, providing a transparent performance measure. Singlife will offer access to the fund through its Investment-Linked Policies (ILPs) and digital platforms, GROW with Singlife and dollarDEX, expanding the range of alternative assets available to its customers. Additionally, Singlife plans to allocate a portion of its participating fund assets to this gold fund, enhancing its diversified portfolio strategy.
Allen Kuo, Chief Investment Officer at Singlife, emphasised the fund’s role in providing stability amid global volatility, stating, “Gold has shown renewed strength and has been proven to be a source of stability amid uncertainty.”
The fund will be available through Singlife’s key distribution channels, with an initial public offering running until 28 November 2025. It will be accessible on the GROW platform from 1 December 2025 and on dollarDEX from December 2025, with minimum investment amounts set at S$200 and S$100, respectively.
This launch coincides with Singapore’s 60th anniversary, leveraging the nation’s strengths as a global financial hub and emerging centre for gold custody and trading.
