The acquisitions will be done through Ascend Asia Singapore Advisory, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ascend Asia. Regulatory approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore has been obtained, and the acquisitions are subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and acquisition-related conditions.
With these additions, the Ascend Asia group will comprise four Singapore financial advisory firms with a total network of more than 2,000 financial consultants, united by a shared vision to strengthen the advisory industry and deliver greater choice to consumers.

Each firm brings distinct strengths and an established client franchise. Ascend Asia is committed to reinforcing these unique qualities and supporting each member firm with strategic expertise, operational insights and industry network, to enhance their value propositions and achieve sustainable growth.
“With a sizeable advisory network and a dedicated asset management firm, our foundations are firmly in place. As we grow our open-architecture platform and the solutions offered by our member firms, we see meaningful opportunities to uplift Singapore’s financial advisory industry and empower financial consultants to deliver greater value and long-term benefits to consumers.”
Poh Choon Kia, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Infinity FA, said, “This is a significant moment for Infinity FA and a testament to our team’s unwavering dedication towards capability building and long-term client outcomes. From day one, we have been building a high-impact ecosystem that delivers meaningful value to our clients by seamlessly blending innovative technology with professional, human-centric advice. Our growth is anchored in service excellence and continuous innovation. Joining Ascend Asia allows us to amplify our impact while preserving our unique culture and service philosophy.

Caster Ong, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, SG Alliance, said, “SG Alliance was founded on a conviction that financial advisory is a life essential for all, and a collective commitment to help people around us build financial resilience through holistic financial planning. We share Ascend Asia’s vision of bringing consumers more choices and value, and joining the group is an exciting step in our journey that allows us to enhance our advisory offerings and continue growing with our financial consultants and clients. Supported by Ascend Asia’s strategic expertise and capabilities, we look forward to extending the power of financial planning to even more individuals and companies and helping them make informed, confident decisions about their future.”

Every client matters, and we have always sought to impact lives through objective advice, thoughtful support and carefully selected solutions tailored to clients’ needs. Joining Ascend Asia marks an important new chapter in our history. With this strong group behind us, we look forward to building on our foundations and continuing our journey with confidence.”
As member firms of Ascend Asia, Infinity FA, SG Alliance and PromiseLand will continue operating under their own brands, with no changes to existing client relationships or agreements. Clients will continue to be served by the same financial consultants.
Ascend Asia was established by global investment firm KKR to empower member firms to provide their best to their clients and to support the continuing development of best practices in Singapore’s financial advisory industry. Ascend Asia aims to support its member firms’ growth by enhancing their ability to serve their clients – through investments in professional development, technology, and customer relationship management, and upholding regulatory standards – while preserving each firm’s unique strengths and culture.
Since Ascend Asia’s launch in July 2025 with finexis advisory and its affiliates as the first member firms, Ascend Asia has continued to strengthen its solutions and capabilities. In October 2025, Ascend Asia rebranded its asset management arm to Ascend Asia Asset Management, with an expanded mandate to provide investment and wealth solutions through all member firms. Ascend Asia will continue to invest in its product offerings and capabilities to further enhance its solutions, with the aim of empowering member firms’ growth and delivering greater value to consumers.
