Maybank Group Unveils Islamic Wealth Management Hub in Singapore

Maybank Group has officially launched its Islamic Wealth Management (IWM) regional offshore hub in Singapore. This marks a significant expansion of the group’s Islamic wealth services, which previously operated primarily in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Maybank Singapore claims that it is the first bank in the city-state to provide comprehensive Islamic wealth management solutions.

These services cater to various customer needs, including wealth transfer planning for future generations, and encompass five key areas; wealth creation, accumulation, preservation, purification, and distribution.

The increasing demand for sustainable and values-based investment options, such as those offered in Islamic wealth management, is attracting a diverse client base.

According to Maybank, the bank has the largest selection of Shariah-compliant unit trust funds, with 13 funds available in Singapore.
