Singapore’s DBS Group will open 18 new wealth centers across Asia by end-2027 and upgrade 36 existing centers over 18 months, its largest-ever physical wealth expansion. The rollout spans Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, India, Indonesia, and Taiwan. DBS reported wealth assets under management of 492 billion Singaporean dollars ($384 billion) in Q1 2026. Asia’s affluent wealth pool — households with $100,000 to $1 million in investible assets — is projected to reach $4.7 trillion in 2026. The first wave of openings is expected from Q3, with further launches phased through 2027.
