Singlife Launches Revamped dollarDEX Platform, Strengthening its Full Investment Suite for Retail Investors

Latest enhancements level up Singlife’s insurance-investment proposition to help Singaporeans better plan for retirement 

Leading homegrown financial services company Singlife, has revamped dollarDEX – its digital-first investment platform, purpose built for self-directed investors.

The new dollarDEX platform delivers an intuitive and user-friendly investing experience, with simplified account opening, fund discovery and streamlined trading. Its fund centre features curated Core and Focused solutions designed to help customers manage their cash, generate income and invest for long-term growth. Additional enhancements will be rolled out progressively, including an interest-bearing Cash account and an integrated insurance-investment portfolio view.

Aditya Sood, Chief Operating Officer, GROW with Singlife said: “dollarDEX is designed with our clients at the heart of every decision. We’ve listened closely to feedback, and have evolved the platform for today’s retail investor. It is affordable, simple and intuitive. We’re fully committed to being clear and transparent, and providing customers with a wide range of funds and solutions to empower them to achieve financial freedom with confidence.”

DollarDEX was one of Singapore’s first fintech platforms, providing online investing in funds as early as 1999, and supporting investments via cash, Central Provident Fund (CPF) and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) funds. It has one of the broadest fund selections in the market, with over 1,500 funds spanning diverse asset classes and geographies.

Its zero-fee model means that there are no platform fees or sales charges across all funds, helping investors maximise returns without hidden costs. As part of the launch campaign, dollarDEX is introducing a limited-time promotion until 17 July 2026. Customers can receive up to $13,000 worth of bonus units for their qualifying investments, and up to $2,888 worth of bonus units for every successful referral^[1].

DollarDEX complements GROW, used by financial advisers and features enhanced fund discovery, sharper portfolio management tools, along with other services to facilitate holistic advisory according to client needs.

Both dollarDEX and GROW are owned and operated by GROW with Singlife, the investment distribution business of Singlife. Through its adviser enablement ecosystem ELEVATE, GROW with Singlife has engaged over 2,000 financial advisers across over 80 initiatives, and supports them with bespoke training, unbiased research insights, a curated product shelf, giving them early access to exclusive fund launches and special promotions.

GROW with Singlife has strategically partnered over 50 leading asset managers in the region – including BlackRock, Fullerton Fund Management, Lion Global Investors and Aberdeen Investment – to give GROW customers access to over 1,500 funds on the platform. One such innovative offering is the LionGlobal Singapore Physical Gold Fund, the first physical gold fund insured and vaulted in Singapore, launched last November.

Farooq Lone, Chief Executive Officer, GROW with Singlife said: “Good advisory enables investors to make well-considered decisions across their wealth-planning journey. At the same time, we recognise that some clients prefer a more independent approach to managing their wealth. With that in mind, we are continually strengthening both our platforms to meet these distinct needs – GROW, which empowers advisers to better serve their clients, and dollarDEX for self-directed consumers. As Singaporeans live longer, we are committed to ensuring they have the tools to become financially secure in their golden years.”

GROW with Singlife recorded a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% in Assets under Administration (AUA) from FY2022-2025, reaching more than S$4.5 billion. This growth is attributed to the success of collaborations with leading regional asset managers, resulting in sustainable positive net inflows despite market volatility.

With the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) estimating the country’s retail mutual fund market at S$140-160 billion^[2], and over S$220 billion worth of CPF and SRS funds earmarked for investment, both GROW and dollarDEX are well-positioned to play an increasingly significant role in supporting Singlife’s mission to deliver more value for customers through protection and wealth accumulation solutions.
