۶Ƶ launches ۶Ƶ Circle One, a new digital platform that brings the best of ۶Ƶ’ global ecosystem to clients.
This leading-edge innovation connects clients to experts, thought leaders and actionable ideas. It will soon provide an ideal space for investors to connect, discover new insights and exchange ideas on a global scale. Through this, thought leadership is impactful, ideas and solutions are connected, and opportunities are brought to life.
With this innovation, ۶Ƶ will deliver its award-winning CIO thought leadership in an engaging and convenient way. ۶Ƶ Circle One will bring clients new daily content based on latest ۶Ƶ CIO House Views made digestible through short videos, podcasts and interactive live webinars on a daily and weekly basis, complementing traditional investment reports and physical events. Clients will also be offered timely actionable ideas and investment opportunities at their fingertips, where they can then choose to invest or trade through our mobile banking app.
There will be new features added to the app monthly. In the next phase, clients will be able to connect with each other and to experts across the globe in “circles” of interest groups on topics they are passionate about from investing, wealth planning, family advisory to sustainability, art, philanthropy etc.
Phase one of ۶Ƶ Circle One will be first launched in Asia Pacific. It is planned to be progressively rolled out to the various regions including the US and Europe next year. The app was co-created with 100 digitally savvy clients in Hong Kong and Singapore who provided valuable insights in finetuning its features and usability.
August Hatecke, Co-Head ۶Ƶ Global Wealth Management APAC, shared, “۶Ƶ Circle One is all about people, content and connections, bringing the best of ۶Ƶ’s global ecosystem to our clients. Our ۶Ƶ House View drives the investment strategy for USD 3 trillion of invested assets globally and through ۶Ƶ Circle One, we bring the latest investment views and solutions to our wealth management clients. Singapore continues to grow as a global wealth management hub as well as a center of innovation and talent. I am proud that this leading-edge innovation is first rolled out in Asia, and of our APAC team and Swiss colleagues for their talent and speed in developing this innovative digital platform”.
Dorothy Hill, ۶Ƶ Head of Ecosystems and Global Wealth Management Digital Ventures, said, “Looking at how much time people spend on their mobile phones, this is where we want to be with ۶Ƶ Circle One - always at our clients’ fingertips anytime and anywhere. Today, an exciting journey starts, and I am looking forward to hearing from our clients about how we can serve them with relevant insights to make ۶Ƶ Circle One their go-to for thought leadership”.
