-

If humans are spending an ever-increasing amount of time on their smartphone­s in this digital age, they might as well be putting that screen time to good use and turning it into something with a tangible reward. To this end, there are tools like Lu Global, a new online wealth and investment management platform. The app provides a new generation of tech-savvy investors a simple and secure way of investing – right from their mobile phones.

A WINNING FORMULA

Flexibilit­y is a key advantage. Besides offering 24/ 7 online access, the LU Global app also provides access to a global suite of specially curated open- and closedende­d funds from partners such as J.P. Morgan Asset Management, KKR and BlackRock - some of which were typically made available to institutio­nal customers due to the large minimum investment sums and long lock in periods needed. With LU Global, investing in some of these fixedterm products can go as low as US$1 (S$1.40), with commitment periods as short as three months.

Without relationsh­ip managers and physical branches in operation, the operationa­l cost savings are passed on to the customers through an attractive fee structure that currently promises zero subscripti­on fees for all xed term products. All of these help lower the barriers of entry when investing with Lu Global. That said, the app is currently available to accredited investors in Singapore and investors in Asia.

BACKED BY TRUSTED TECHNOLOGY

Operating out of Singapore, Lu Global is a member of the Ping An Group, the largest insurance company globally that’s also ranked 10th on Forbes’ 2018 Global 2000 list. The app utilises Ping An’s platform of cutting- edge technology, offering its customers confidence and an assurance of reliabilit­y when it comes to cyber security and data protection.

Lu Global is also licensed and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which has stringent criteria for businesses within the nancial sector. Since its launch late last year, the app has acquired 150,000 registered users – and this gure is growing.

A SMOOTH-SAILING JOURNEY

At Lu Global, the customer experience is designed to be intuitive from start to nish. Joining the platform is easy and convenient because the entire process takes place online via the app. There’s no need to physically wait in line with a queue number - simply download the app and proceed to complete your account opening process in as little as ve minutes with all the documents ready for submission.
