Overview of the Finance Industry
in Singapore
Singapore is one of Asia’s leading financial hubs, with a deep ecosystem across banking, wealth and asset management, insurance, capital markets, fintech, risk, and compliance. This scale matters because it creates a steady pipeline of professional roles across front-, middle-, and back-office functions.
Singapore’s assets under management (AUM) grew by 12% to reach S$6.07 trillion, surpassing the S$6 trillion mark for the first time7. The country continues to strengthen its position as a key gateway for global asset managers and investors seeking access to Asia’s growth opportunities, with 77% of AUM sourced from outside Singapore and 88% of total AUM invested globally8.
The Financial sector plays a pivotal role in supporting Singapore’s economic growth and development. However, rapid technological advancements and evolving customer expectations are reshaping the industry, driving significant changes in job roles and the skills required of finance professionals.
The sector encompasses a wide range of roles, including bankers, financial advisers, insurance professionals, investment managers, and more. As the industry undergoes transformation, these roles are evolving in scope and complexity. Increased adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and machine learning is enabling more efficient, data-driven, and personalised financial services, while simultaneously redefining how financial professionals create value9.
Upcoming trends within the Financial Services sector
The Financial Services sector in Singapore is undergoing rapid transformation, driven largely by technological innovation. Three particularly significant trends shaping this change are Robotic Process Automation (RPA), advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI)9.
RPA is already widely deployed across the Finance sector to automate repetitive, rules-based processes such as data entry and reconciliation. As the technology continues to mature, it is expected to deliver even greater operational efficiencies and cost savings across financial institutions.
At the same time, advanced analytics is gaining prominence, with organisations leveraging big data and machine learning to generate deeper insights into customer behaviour, strengthen risk management, and enhance fraud detection capabilities. AI is also evolving rapidly, with chatbots and virtual assistants increasingly used in customer service and advisory functions. Looking ahead, AI is expected to play an even more transformative role in the Finance sector, reshaping areas such as credit underwriting, investment management, and wealth advisory through more intelligent, data-driven decision-making.
Essential skills needed to stay relevant in the Financial sector
To remain competitive in the Finance industry, professionals must develop the skills required to effectively leverage emerging technologies. This includes the ability to interpret data and insights to make sound, informed judgements when addressing increasingly complex problems9. These capabilities are developed through a Double Major in Finance and Fintech, equipping you with strong financial foundations and cutting-edge technological expertise.
Equally important is adaptability; professionals must be willing to continuously learn as new technologies and industry trends emerge.
Those who build the right skills and competencies will be well-positioned to capitalise on new opportunities and remain relevant in the rapidly evolving Financial Services sector.
