Hi, I’m Joshua Chim, General Manager of FSM Global. We’re an online digital wealth management platform headquartered in Singapore, built for retail investors and corporate clients around the world.
In today’s environment of geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and a strong preference for safe-haven currencies, global investors need more than just access to investment products. They want a jurisdiction with international-grade safeguards, a secure and trustworthy platform, and broad access to global markets at fair, transparent fees.
Trusted by investors worldwide, FSM Global — the business-to-consumer (B2C) division of iFAST Corporation Ltd., an SGX-listed fintech company — was built precisely for this. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Singapore, we now serve clients from over 100 countries and regions. We combine the city-state’s exceptional regulatory standards and security with a thoughtfully designed multi-asset platform created specifically for cross-border wealth management.
Singapore: The Gold Standard in Jurisdictional Resilience
Singapore isn’t just “safe” — it is one of the world’s most robust financial jurisdictions, with superior investor protections backed by strong regulation and legislation.
- Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) oversight: The MAS applies a risk-based, outcomes-focused supervisory framework widely regarded as one of the most effective globally. Client assets on licensed wealth management platforms like FSM Global are held in segregated trust accounts with major regulated banks, fully ring-fenced from any platform insolvency. Singapore’s open capital account, territorial tax system (no capital gains tax on investments), and extensive double-taxation treaties further boost after-tax efficiency for international investors.
- Anti-corruption leadership: In Transparency International’s 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, Singapore scored 84/100 and ranked 3rd globally (1st in Asia-Pacific), reflecting its outstanding public-sector integrity and minimal risk of regulatory capture.
For investors that are planning to build sizable portfolios — including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and expatriates — this significantly reduces tail risks such as asset seizure, opaque enforcement, or sudden policy shifts that often affect less stable jurisdictions.
FSM Global: A Thoughtfully Designed Platform Built for Global Investors
What truly sets FSM apart is our deliberate platform design, which is shaped around the real needs of investors — whether you’re an active short-term trader or focused on long-term wealth accumulation.
Bilingual Excellence for Cross-Border Usability
The platform provides full functionality and dedicated client support in both English and Mandarin, with effortless language switching. This removes a major pain point for many Asian and international investors who operate across languages, allowing you to navigate research, trading, and portfolio analytics clearly and confidently.
Independent, Non-Commissioned Advisory and Research
Unlike many banks and platforms where advisors are incentivized by product commissions, our investment advisory and research teams operate on a fully non-commission basis. Their recommendations are driven by fundamental, long-term analysis rather than sales targets. This alignment of interests minimizes behavioral biases and conflicts, giving you genuinely independent guidance on asset allocation, risk management, retirement planning, and attaining financial freedom.
A Comprehensive Product Universe for True Diversification
FSM Global serves as a true one-stop wealth platform with access to more than 10 major product categories, including:
- Unit Trusts: Over 2,400 funds from more than 100 leading global fund managers. We were the first platform in Singapore to offer permanent 0% sales charge, redemption fees, and switching fees.
- Stocks and ETFs: Direct trading on SGX, major US exchanges, Hong Kong exchange, and other key markets. Our fees are highly competitive — for example, a flat S$8.80 for SGX trades and flat ETF processing fees as low as S$3.80 / US$3.80 / HK$38. Investors planning to dollar cost average or enrol to regular savings plan can do so at 0% fees on ETFs. Many popular ETFs, such as VOO, QQQ, IWM, VWRA, and CSPX, are available on the platform.
- Multi-Currency Cash Account: Hold 12 major currencies (USD, CAD, CHF, GBP, EUR, HKD, CNH, AUD, NZD, JPY, MYR, and SGD). Enjoy real-time FX conversions at competitive rates, plus earn interest on idle balances. All funds are ring-fenced and held in segregated trust accounts at regulated banks.
- Bonds: Retail and wholesale bonds (including smaller lots for accredited investors), plus government securities such as US Treasuries, UK Gilts, and Singapore Government Securities.
- Managed Portfolios: FSM Managed Portfolios (MAPS) — professionally constructed and dynamically rebalanced multi-asset strategies across five risk profiles, with some of the most competitive management fees in the industry.
- Additional Solutions: Product financing, insurance products, will and trust services, and our proprietary debit card for seamless spending of proceeds and dividends.
This comprehensive suite of product offerings allows you to manage your entire wealth journey seamlessly from a single account.
