DBS Private Bank has launched PE Access – a programme through which the bank introduces direct investment deals to its ultra-high-net-worth clients.
PE Access caters to clients worth S$50 million and above who have a higher risk appetite, seek alternative forms of investment and prefer to have direct access to the businesses in which they invest.

The programme allows DBS Private Bank to flag relevant investment deals to interested clients, who can then perform their own due diligence and proceed to invest directly in the business.
"Our Asian customers are generating wealth in the areas that they do well in and know best. They want to put their money where their mouth is," says DBS head of consumer banking and wealth management Tan Su Shan, adding that clients in the region tend to invest in businesses within their own sectors.
The introduction of PE Access – which has a minimum deal size of S$5 million – is hoped to spur the growth of private equity and venture capital deals in Asia. According to DBS, it is also the first to be introduced in Singapore by a local bank.
