Congratulations to all the recipients at the Asia Insurance Review Awards!

It was a pleasure to attend last night's awards presentation together with fellow members of the AFAS Executive Committee, and to witness so many outstanding individuals and organisations recognised for their achievements and contributions to the insurance and financial advisory industry.

Our heartfelt thanks to MDRT for the kind invitation to this wonderful event.

Beyond celebrating the winners, it was also great to catch up with industry friends and colleagues from across the region. Moments like these remind us how strong and connected our community is, and how much we can learn from one another as we continue to raise professional standards together.

Congratulations once again to all the award recipients. Your achievements inspire us all to keep striving for excellence.

AFAS was pleased to attend the signing ceremony between the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI) and the MDRT Center for Field Leadership held on Monday, 3 November 2026 at the Singapore Cricket Club.

This partnership marks an exciting milestone for our industry, bringing together SCI's deep expertise in financial education and training with the MDRT Center's globally recognised field leadership programmes to build the next generation of leaders in financial advisory.

At AFAS, we believe that strong field leadership is the backbone of a trusted and professional financial advisory community. Initiatives like this reinforce our collective commitment to raising the bar, not just for individual advisers, but for the leaders who inspire, develop, and guide them.

Congratulations to SCI and the MDRT Center for Field Leadership on this meaningful collaboration.

We look forward to seeing the impact it will have on our profession in Singapore and beyond. 💪

AFAS is pleased to have collaborated with the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI) to organise an Engagement Session with Training Coordinators from financial advisory firms.

The session brought together Principal Officers and Training Directors from our member firms for an open and meaningful dialogue — sharing the latest updates and initiatives from SCI, exchanging insights on training and development needs, and exploring how we can collectively strengthen adviser capabilities across the industry.

At AFAS, we believe that a well-trained adviser is the foundation of a trusted profession. Initiatives like this reflect our commitment to fostering collaboration between industry stakeholders and ensuring our members have access to the best learning and development opportunities available.

Thank you to SCI and all participating member firms for your time, engagement, and valuable feedback. We look forward to building on this conversation and continuing to grow together.

It was a pleasure and an honour for President Raymond Ng and General Manager Angie Lim to be invited to the Financial Planning Association of Singapore (FPAS) Awards Evening, held in conjunction with World Financial Planning Day.

The evening was a wonderful celebration of professional excellence and the achievements of individuals who continue to contribute to the growth and development of Singapore’s financial planning profession.

It was also a meaningful gathering of industry leaders, professionals, partners and members of the FPAS community — providing a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, catch up with friends and make new connections along the way.

Adding to the significance of the evening was the convocation of FPAS graduates, celebrating an important milestone in their professional journey. Their achievement is a wonderful reminder of the importance of continuous learning and the commitment to upholding and advancing the standards of our profession.

Congratulations to all the award recipients and graduates, and our appreciation to FPAS for a memorable evening of celebration, recognition and fellowship.

It was indeed lovely to be part of such a meaningful occasion for our financial planning community.

How can financial advisory firms put AI to work in ways that are practical, responsible and actually valuable to clients?

That's exactly what we dove into at AFAS's "Scaling Practical AI Adoption in Financial Advisory" — proudly supported by MAS's PathFin.ai programme. 130+ members of Singapore's FA community in the room, swapping real experiences, real use cases, real talk. 🙌

The best part? Firms that compete for the same clients, sitting side by side and sharing openly — what's working, what isn't, what they wish they knew earlier. That's community over competition, and it's exactly how our industry adopts AI the right way. 💛

🎤 Huge thanks to our speakers and hosts:
Raymond Ng (AFAS President) & Kenneth Gay (Chief FinTech Officer) — opening remarks
✪ James Chen (AFAS Honorary Treasurer) — host & chair, and moderator of our Workforce Panel
Salim M Amin (AFAS VP) — moderator, Industry Panel

🔹 Industry Panel: Wee Ming Koh, PhD (AIA Singapore) · Deepak Sarda (Endowus) · Alfred Chia 谢诏全 (SingCapital) · Alvin Ang (Singapore Life)

🔹 Workforce Panel: Sharon Craggs (Wealth Management Institute) · Shalini Pavithran (Singapore College of Insurance)

🙏 To the MAS PathFin.ai team — Eugene Goh, Jiahan (JH) Goh, Danielle Jiang, FRM & Marielynn Lee — and our own AFAS dream team, GM Angie Lim & Maya — thank you for making this happen behind the scenes.

⚙️ And to our AI solution showcase partners — iCOMPASS, Nextvestment, iFLYTEK, .AI & Fano Labs — thank you for showing us what's already working, live.

More to come as we keep turning AI ambition into practical, trusted outcomes for our industry. 🚀

AFAS is proud to be part of this exciting moment for Singapore's financial sector.

Together with IBF, NTUC, and fellow industry associations, AFAS was among the seven industry groups that signed an enhanced Memorandum of Understanding to support the transformation of Singapore's financial workforce, announced at IBF's awards dinner on 24 September 2026, witnessed by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong and MAS Managing Director Chia Der Jiun.

The initiative commits to reskilling more than 80,000 workers in the finance sector with critical AI capabilities by 2028, through IBF-recognised programmes designed to keep our workforce relevant, adaptive, and future-ready.

For AFAS members, this is both a signal and an opportunity. AI will not replace the trusted financial adviser but it will reshape how we work, how we serve clients, and how we grow. The advisers who embrace this shift will be better equipped to deliver the personalised, high-value advice that Singaporeans depend on.

AFAS remains committed to supporting our members through this transformation, ensuring that every licensed financial adviser in Singapore has access to the skills and knowledge to thrive in the decade ahead.

The future of financial advisory is about so much more than products — it's about trust, transformation, and the human connection that no technology can replace.
The future of financial advisory is about so much more than products — it's about trust, transformation, and the human connection that no technology can replace.

AFAS is proud to share that our Honorary Assistant Secretary, Mr Alfred Chia, was a panellist at the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI) event "The Next Decade of Financial Advisory: Leadership, Trust and Transformation" — joining fellow industry leaders for an important conversation about how we prepare advisers for the decade ahead.

The panel featured:

🎙️ Steven Goh, Partner & Head of Insurance, KPMG Singapore (Moderator)

🎙️ Alfred Chia, Honorary Assistant Secretary, AFAS

🎙️ Derrick Yip, President, Insurance and Financial Practitioners Association of Singapore

🎙️ Harpreet Bindra, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Life (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.

A key theme from the discussion: as information becomes more abundant, trusted advice becomes even more valuable. The adviser of the future will be part financial planner, part life coach, and part technology-enabled analyst but above all, a trusted partner for life.

AI will accelerate this shift equipping advisers with better insights and greater personalization, while freeing up more time to focus on what truly matters: the client.

Thank you to SCI for hosting such a meaningful and forward-looking dialogue.

AFAS remains committed to supporting our members as they navigate and lead through this transformation. 💪
