Across Asia, platforms like Syfe in Singapore, Seedly in Malaysia, and various AI-powered advisors offer sophisticated investment strategies through simple apps. These platforms suit everyone—young professionals beginning investing, mid-career individuals optimising wealth, and near-retirees protecting accumulated assets—regardless of experience or starting capital.
