OCBC

As part of our ongoing commitment to celebrating diversity and fostering the integration of persons with disabilities (PwDs) into our workforce, OCBC proudly hosted our very first #PurpleParade Lunch Lotto. To honour the spirit of inclusion, participants were encouraged to wear purple — the symbolic colour of The Purple Parade, Singapore’s largest annual movement that promotes awareness and celebrates PwDs. The event brought together colleagues from across the bank, including four of our talented PwD hires: Daniel Kwa (Cyber Threat Analyst), Lionel Lee (Blockchain Engineer), and new hires Gerald Yi and Bryan Tan (Test Systems Engineers), alongside our valued partner SG Enable. Daniel also shared his inspiring journey at OCBC and his experience participating in The Purple Parade. Filled with meaningful conversations and genuine connections, the session saw many colleagues pledging their support for inclusion and recognising the diverse abilities of PwDs. We’re excited to continue driving these efforts through our Non-conventional Talent Hire Initiative, as we work towards building a workplace that truly reflects the richness of our community. #OpportunityStartsHere #WorkplaceDiversity #OCBC

As part of our collaboration with the Singapore Exchange to rejuvenate the Singapore equity market, we organised the OCBC X SGX Trailblazer Connect event last week. It brought together eight visionary companies, including home-grown champions with exciting growth prospects, and a broad range of fund managers, for a discovery session of the companies’ business models and growth strategies. A panel discussion was also held over lunch, titled “'From Portfolio Fit to Price Discovery: How are Investors Evaluating the Next Wave of IPOs?”. Three key takeaways from the panel stood out: 1. The strong momentum in Singapore’s equity market has been driven by MAS’ Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP), structural policy support and safe-haven capital inflows, supporting a positive IPO outlook for 2026 and beyond. 2. Valuation is grounded by disciplined assessment of the growth prospects and competitive moat of the company. Stronger market liquidity in Singapore may catalyse a positive evolution of valuation metrics. 3. Capital is available, and investors are actively seeking high-quality companies with a credible, differentiated story anchored by strong execution and leadership. We thank our panellists Kenneth Ong, Portfolio Manager Asian Equities from Lion Global Investors; Merrill Tan, Director of Equity Research and Global TMT Equity Analyst from AR Capital; Kenneth Tang, Senior Portfolio Manager Asian Equities of Amova Asset Management; and Shane Chesson, Founding Partner of Openspace Capital, for their candid and insightful views.

Join us for an honest conversation about savings and the realities of caregiving.

At this upcoming live podcast in partnership with RICE Media and The Financial Coconut, “Care vs Cash: Millennials and the Realities of Caregiving in Singapore,” we’ll unpack the emotional and financial weight behind this experience and how millennials are navigating these competing priorities.

We’re seeing more of our high-net-worth clients explore alternative asset investments in their hunt for yield amid market volatility. In an interview with The Straits Times, Head of Group Wealth Management Siew Lee Tan shared how accredited investors are increasingly tapping alternative investments like private market funds to gain investment access to assets besides conventional stocks, bonds and cash. OCBC’s assets under management (AUM) of private market funds tripled from August 2024 to August 2025. Meanwhile, interest in precious metals like gold and silver – typically seen as safe haven asset and portfolio diversifiers – has soared. AUM of the precious metals rose four times in the same period. To capture accredited investors’ interest, we will expand the types of private market funds offered and explore launching tokenised assets. Tokenised assets boost liquidity in private markets and enable fractional ownership, making these investments more accessible.
