Singapore Association of Independent Wealth Managers (AIWM) has setup a S$160,000 bursary initiative for Singapore Management University (SMU), with 8 students to receive a total of S$20,000 each over 4 years (S$5,000 a year). The Association of Independent Wealth Managers (AIWM) bursaries will be disbursed to 8 Singapore Management University students in August 2023. AIWM: “This initiative was launched by AIWM, in the hopes that it would support freshmen students in financial need. As an association, their hope is to take a leadership position through this meaningful initiative and encourage more of their member firms to give back to the community. As part of the initiative, each student will receive $5,000 a year, or a total of $20,000 over four years, to support them over the course of their undergraduate education at SMU. The bursaries are being co-funded by the association with a 25% contribution of $5,000 per bursary, and the remainder 75% contribution of $15,000 per bursary, from each of its participating members.” The 8 firms are: Abacus Asia Wealth Management, AL Wealth Partners, Azimut Investment Management, Covenant Capital, Global Precious Metals, HP Wealth Management, Marcuard Heritage, and Red Beacon Asset Management.

Edwin Lee, Committee Member of AIWM and Chief Executive Officer of Covenant Capital: “As stewards of assets, we are deeply encouraged by this philanthropic initiative and hope that this will be the start of a wave of family offices partnering with their clients to support students in financial need.”
Professor Timothy Clark, SMU Provost: “As professional wealth managers, the association and their members are best placed to know how budgeting challenges and constraints can impact one’s long-term aspirations and plans. Thus, their generous donations will go a long way in helping SMU students who are in financial need to overcome barrier they are experiencing so that they have the peace of mind and to focus on working towards achieving their dreams. And in time to come, we hope they too will pay it forward.”
