Schroders Singapore and Thailand-based Robowealth have announced a strategic partnership to launch a range of new digital wealth solutions to help Thai investors make more informed decisions aligned with their long-term investment objectives.

A cornerstone in the solution design is the leveraging of Schroders’ institutional capabilities in developing multi-asset solutions, which will be offered to Thai investors through the digital platforms of Robowealth, a provider of model portfolio services and mutual fund investment services across various platforms and brandings.

The portfolios will be designed to invest dynamically across a diversified range of asset classes (including alternatives and currencies), sectors, themes and styles, with active downside risk management, to deliver sustainable outcomes.

The partnership will initially launch with a dynamic model portfolio offering on Robowealth’s “odini BLACK” platform – targeted at investors with a minimum investment capital of US$15,000 – using Thailand-domiciled funds only.

The next phase, scheduled for roll-out later this year, will incorporate an open-architecture suite of curated offshore funds, which will in turn empower Thai investors with access to a broader range of investible options. There are also future plans to extend the solutions to other Robowealth platforms and collaborate with the company’s partners.

“The Thai market has one of the fastest-growing rates of digital adoption in Southeast Asia, driven by an emerging digitally savvy population,” says Arthit Thongchareon, head of Thailand business, Schroders. “We anticipate that digital wealth management will play an increasingly pivotal role for investors in Thailand. This collaboration will enable us to meet the fast-changing needs of Thai investors, who are looking for greater access to bespoke solutions.”
