HSBC has launched an enhanced entrepreneurial wealth proposition in Singapore, reinforcing its commitment to supporting founders through every stage of their business and wealth journey.
The initiative reflects HSBC’s ambition to be the leading bank for entrepreneurial wealth in Asia, offering tailored investment strategies and long-term wealth planning.
According to HSBC’s Global Entrepreneurial Wealth Report 2025, Singapore ranks as the world’s most attractive hub for entrepreneurs, with 15% planning to relocate their wealth to the city-state and 12% considering personal relocation. The findings underscore continued confidence in Singapore’s stability, connectivity, and innovation ecosystem.
Tommy Leung, Head of Global Private Banking, South Asia, HSBC, commented:
“Entrepreneurs are at the heart of Singapore’s economy and its rise as a hub for innovation and capital for the ASEAN region. Currently, close to two-thirds of our Global Private Banking clients in Singapore are entrepreneurs.”
The new proposition integrates HSBC’s Global Private Banking and Corporate Banking capabilities, delivering a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the evolving needs of the founders. These include the Private Wealth Entrepreneur Incubation programme, which offers early access to bespoke wealth planning and investment opportunities for corporate clients not yet onboarded with the Private Bank; the Business Growth & Transition Series, comprising advisory sessions that guide entrepreneurs through pre-exit strategies, IPO preparation, and succession planning; and the Innovation Exchange, a platform now introduced in Singapore that connects clients with emerging ventures across Asia’s innovation economy, following successful launches in Hong Kong and the UK.
Gilbert Ng, Head of Banking – Singapore, Corporate and Institutional Banking, HSBC, added:
“The power of HSBC is in our ability to holistically support entrepreneurs’ personal and corporate needs. By deepening our collaboration with the Private Bank, we can now provide our corporate clients, especially start-ups and founders, early access to expert advice and investment solutions.”
The bank notes a shift in its client base, with a new generation of founders emerging from technology, sustainability, and innovation sectors — moving beyond traditional industries such as manufacturing and real estate.
HSBC’s universal banking model continues to drive cross-business referrals, with a significant proportion of Global Private Banking clients in Singapore originating from its Corporate and Institutional Banking network.
“Singapore’s international platform and breadth of expertise make it a natural hub for entrepreneurs looking to transition their success to the next generation,” Leung concluded.
