Being in a consortium for one of the three digital wholesale banking licences in Singapore is also seen as a positive due to potential new business lines. This includes small and medium enterprise micro-lending, which can funnel in additional business opportunities, KGI noted.

"With a 20-year track record of developing its multi-asset platform, iFast would be ready to quickly scale up if it wins one of three digital wholesale banking licences in Singapore," Mr Tan said. iFast's first-quarter results were also found to be encouraging, as the fall-off for assets under administration was minimal. Market volatility had also brought up business-to-consumer sales by 40.4 per cent year on year. Moreover, iFast shared that AUA has returned to the S$10 billion figure.

KGI is anticipating AUA to grow for the rest of the year, barring another black swan event. Revenue mix is also expected to shift in favour of platform fees due to pressure on active asset management., holds an approximately 15 per cent stake in iFast through its subsidiary SPH Invest.For daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend.
