Invest Beyond Boundaries with BlackRock and iFAST
Markets are becoming more complex, making it increasingly difficult for investors to navigate opportunities and risks on their own.
Join us to discover how the iFAST Active & Blended DPMS Portfolios (Powered by BlackRock) leverage the insights, scale and investment capabilities of the world's largest asset manager. Rather than relying on a single asset class or investment approach, these portfolios draw from a wide range of strategies across global equities, fixed income and liquid alternatives to build diversified portfolios designed for different market environments.
Whether you're beginning your investment journey or seeking a more comprehensive wealth-building approach, this session will show how professional management and global diversification can simplify decision-making and provide greater confidence in pursuing your financial objectives. - by Nicholas Hoon, Vice President, Singapore Wealth Client Business, Blackrock (Singapore) Limited

Active in Action: Active ETFs & Active Allocation
As markets contend with fast sector rotations, headline-driven volatility, and rate-sensitive valuations, investors are increasingly pairing the transparency and efficiency of the ETF vehicle with active insights and management. This session explores how Research Enhanced Index strategies can serve as a core, active alternative to passive exposure – seeking positive alpha at low tracking error – and how active asset allocation brings these building blocks together in globally diversified model portfolios designed to deliver consistent total return across market cycles. Join Jordan Lee, ETF Specialist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management to explore what drives potential excess returns, how models adapt as the facts change and how the toolkit comes together in partnership with iFAST. - by Jordan Lee, ETF Specialist Team for the Asia Pacific Region, J.P.

iGM Equity 100: The Case for a Fully Managed 100% Equity Portfolio

In this session, we share the thinking behind the portfolio, what drove its performance through one of the most turbulent market environments in recent memory, and why now may be one of the most compelling entry points for long-term equity investors. - by Marcus Low, Senior Investment Consultant, iFAST Financial
