Maybank's insurance arm, Etiqa Insurance Singapore (Etiqa), in collaboration with Maybank Singapore, unveiled Invest Future, Singapore's first takaful offering in over 10 years. Maybank Singapore is the exclusive distributor of this innovative Shariah-compliant investment-linked product (ILP).
Designed to address the growing demand for Islamic financial solutions, Invest Future supports sustainable wealth accumulation goals through ethical and Shariah-compliant investing. This offering provides flexibility and protection, catering to customers seeking values-based financial options.
Mr Alvin Lee, Maybank Singapore Country CEO, highlighted the significance of the launch, stating, “Values-based financial solutions such as Etiqa’s Takaful ILP are integral to our Islamic Wealth Management (IWM) offerings based on Shariah principles. As the regional offshore IWM hub for Maybank Group in Singapore, we are proud to be the first bank here to provide comprehensive values-based financial solutions.
“Through our exclusive distribution of Etiqa’s takaful offering – a first in Singapore – we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers while aligning with their ethical considerations.”
Mr Raymond Ong, CEO of Etiqa Insurance Singapore, added, “We are thrilled to introduce our first takaful product in Singapore. Ethical investing is gaining traction among Singaporeans, and our takaful ILP promotes Shariah values of mutual cooperation and purposeful investing.
