Hampered by a shallow pool of wealth management talent, Singapore's financial market is about to plug into a new pipeline.
DBS Bank and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), announced a partnership to build a sustainable talent pool of wealth management associates. DBS and NTU will launch a wealth management track for undergraduates, to be introduced under the current banking and finance specialization of the Bachelor of Business degree program by NTU’s Nanyang Business School.
Under the new track students will undergo two internships with DBS, a 10-week and 20-week stint at the end of their second and third years of study respectively. The internships are designed to provide a solid understanding of wealth management, first-hand client experience and exposure to digital banking.
Both Hong Kong and Singapore, key financial hubs in Asia, have struggled to keep up with the demand for skilled wealth managers.
