DBS digiPortfolio

DBS managed digital portfolios with bank-grade access through digibank.

DBS digiPortfolio

DBS digiPortfolio is DBS Bank's digital managed portfolio service, available through its digibank ecosystem. Its Retirement digiPortfolio starts from S$100 and uses a glidepath strategy that automatically adjusts risk as investors move closer to retirement. The portfolio is managed by DBS in collaboration with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, with asset allocation shifting between equities and fixed income over time. DBS lists a 0.75% annual fee before retirement and 0.25% during retirement for this portfolio. It is most convenient for existing DBS or POSB customers who prefer a familiar bank platform over a standalone robo-advisor.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

DBS digiPortfolio is best viewed as the conservative bank-backed choice. It is not as broad or customisable as the leading independent robo-advisors, but the integration with digibank and the DBS name will matter to many Singaporeans. The Retirement Portfolio's glidepath structure is easy to understand and useful for people who want risk to reduce automatically over time. The trade-off is flexibility. Investors looking for CPF optimisation, custom fund selection or a richer robo-advisor interface may find it narrower than specialist platforms.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It is included for its bank-backed credibility, low starting amount, retirement glidepath design and convenience for DBS and POSB customers who want automated investing inside their main banking app.
