Why it is here
Euromoney named DBS Singapore’s best for family-office services (onboarding >1/3 of Singapore SFOs; MFO VCC innovation). PWM/The Banker GPBA 2025 awarded Best Private Bank in Asia for Family Offices. The Business Times independently verifies MFO Foundry VCC at about S$1bn AUM across 25+ UHNW families with a published S$15m minimum and a S$2bn target. Euromoney 2026 also names DBS world’s best private bank and world’s safest.
Who it is for
Asia-focused UHNW families seeking Singapore FO structuring and bank-sponsored MFO efficiency rather than bank-independent governance.
