TradingFront launches AI tools for Singapore wealth advisers

TradingFront has launched three artificial intelligence features for wealth advisers aimed at portfolio analysis, fund selection and client communication.

The rollout comes as Singapore's wealth management sector expands and advisers face rising demand from high-net-worth clients.

The new tools are a smart fund selection engine, a portfolio backtesting function and what TradingFront calls a smart account diagnostic system. TradingFront is Tiger Brokers' turnkey asset management platform for financial advisers and external asset managers.

The features are designed to reduce manual work in advisory workflows. The fund selection tool lets advisers enter a client goal in plain language, then turns that request into screening criteria and produces a shortlist of funds.

TradingFront says the tool assesses funds across six areas: fund overview, performance analysis, portfolio allocation, risk metrics, trading rules and market outlook. It also generates a client report in one click.

The portfolio backtesting feature lets advisers run simulated historical tests on a proposed strategy alongside live performance modelling. It generates a report with charts, asset allocations and measures, including annualised return and volatility, which advisers can share with clients by email or WhatsApp.

The third feature focuses on continuous portfolio review. It scans client portfolios, highlights potential issues, suggests next steps and generates follow-up questions for advisers.

A dashboard shows measures including XIRR, dynamic drawdown and a risk-return scatterplot. The system also identifies similar funds based on position overlap, manager similarity and performance correlation, and suggests prompts for client conversations about rebalancing.

Growing market

The launch comes amid rapid growth in Singapore's asset management industry. Figures cited by TradingFront from the Monetary Authority of Singapore show the sector had S$6.07 trillion in assets under management at the end of 2024, up 12% year on year.

That growth has intensified competition for both clients and advisers. TradingFront also cited EY research showing that 39% of respondents in Singapore were likely to switch their primary wealth manager within three years, above both the global and Asia-Pacific averages.

The same research found that 53% of respondents in Singapore had taken more control of their own portfolios in response to market volatility, compared with a global average of 44%. The figures suggest clients are becoming more active and more willing to change providers.

For wealth advisory firms, this creates pressure to manage larger books of business while maintaining a more tailored level of client service. TradingFront is presenting the new tools as a way to address that gap by reducing time spent on research, screening and portfolio review.

Platform expansion

The additions are part of a broader effort to expand AI's role across the advisory process. That includes a redesigned dashboard intended to bring more of an adviser's research and monitoring work into a single interface.

TradingFront has also positioned itself around investment products such as structured notes, funds and securities for high-net-worth clients. It says the advisory market is facing greater product complexity and changing client expectations.

Tiger Brokers has reported strong recent growth on the platform. In 2025, TradingFront's assets under custody rose by almost 200% year on year, while users of its newer investment solutions increased by 440%.

Xu Yang, Global Partner at Tiger Brokers, said rising expectations in the advisory market shaped the latest product changes.

"The surge in HNW individuals is driving demand for increasingly sophisticated advice, and advisers need tools that can keep pace," Yang said.

He said the diagnostic feature was intended to move beyond a reactive model.

"What we are building at TradingFront goes beyond automation. With agentic AI, our platform does not just respond to an adviser's query - it proactively identifies portfolio issues, generates follow-up questions, and surfaces next steps. This is testament to our commitment to empower advisers to scale their businesses efficiently and serve evolving client needs through meaningful applications of AI. We believe the future will not be shaped by technology alone, but by those who combine human insight and empathy with exponential innovation," Yang said.
