Standard Chartered’s clients in Singapore can now get access to the Wellington Asia Quality Income Fund due to the issuance of new share classes.

Wellington Management has worked with the UK-listed bank already. In 2024, its Credit Total Return strategy was introduced exclusively to the bank’s private banking clients and retail banking customers in Singapore and Hong Kong. That UCITS fund vehicle has surpassed $1.3 billion of assets under management.

Wellington Management has $1.3 trillion assets under management.

“Our Asia Quality Income strategy focuses on quality, dividend-paying companies across the Asia ex-Japan region – businesses we believe are well-positioned to provide upside capture potential and downside mitigation benefits amid market uncertainties driven by growth concerns, trade policies, and geopolitics,” Chia Chia Chng, head of Southeast Asia Wealth at Wellington Management, said. “Investors can invest in the fund without paying upfront fees through the new Class B Shares at Standard Chartered Bank, and we hope these shares classes will encourage longer-term investing habits.”

Wellington Management manages more than $1.3 trillion, as of 30 September 2025, for pensions, endowments and foundations, insurers, family offices, fund sponsors, global wealth managers, and other clients.
