ABOUT US
The Founding of Alpha Edge
Alpha Edge was started by founders, Mr Stanley Ong, Mr Low Giau Kim, Miss Ariel Tan, Mr Tan Yong Guan and Mr Alan Yeo in the year 2020 to meet the growing demand for professional investment advisory services in Singapore. As the clients in Singapore are getting more financially and digitally savvy, we believe that the conventional method of doing business in the financial industry has changed. Cost efficiency is one of the key factors that clients are seeking nowadays, and we aim to create value by building learning opportunities for them, thus enabling a better and more informed investment decision.
Our
MISSION
We aim to provide a fun and fulfilling investment experience for our clients and regularly conduct webinars and seminars to ensure that our clients are always well ahead in the investment space. We are currently the largest team in iFAST Global Markets in terms of AUA and continue to seek opportunities to grow our business both locally and internationally.
Our
BELIEF
The conventional way of doing business in the banking and financial industry is transactional in nature. We believe that this is detrimental to the clients in the long run and aim to be remunerated based on the growth of our clients’ portfolio. This ensures that the team objectives are always aligned to our clients’ objectives.
Our
VISION
To be the go-to advisor for 10,000 families globally, advising on all aspects of their family wealth journey. This will include risk management, wealth creation and wealth preservation.
To respect and comply with the laws, regulations and fair social rules in Singapore and other countries where we conduct businesses, as well as their values and act in good faith while maintaining the highest ethical standard to achieve clients’ fulfilment and trust.
To treat our clients fairly in terms of our charges and remuneration.
To conduct ourselves responsibly in all our dealings with business partners, internal and external clients.
To exhibit utmost respect, courtesy, patience and politeness towards all business partners, internal clients as well as external clients.
