Launched in late 2016, CONNECT by Crossbridge is Singapore's first, and largest, robo-advisor withver US$300 million in assets under management is invested on the CONNECT platforms. The new enhancements come as Crossbridge Capital celebrates its 10th anniversary and CONNECT its second. CONNECT by Crossbridge will become the first pure-play robo-advisor in Singapore to integrate MyInfo, a digital data vault developed by the Government Technology Agency of Singapore to facilitate online transactions. CONNECT by Crossbridge has also optimised its existing user interface based on extensive user testing and analysis to provide anenhanced wealth management experience.

In his recent May Day speech, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong pointed out that new technology in banking is transforming the financial sector. Among the new services, he mentioned robo-advisers, which like our own CONNECT by Crossbridge, use technology to offer investors financial advice suited to their needs and circumstances. As the first robo-adviser in Singapore, our motivations for launching CONNECT by Crossbridge were simple. We found that affluent investors were not offered the investment options that are made available to wealthier clients through the private banks, and we knew that technology could open up those options to a wider audience. We launched a little under two years ago with personalised, multi-asset, goals-based portfolios meeting the risk profile and objectives of customers utilising the platform.
