From Chief Investment Officer, Liu Chunyen:

"In insurance, sound investment decisions are built not only on data and discipline, but on diverse perspectives and long-term thinking. The complexity of today’s financial landscape demands leadership that reflects the world we serve—diverse, forward-looking, and resilient.

By joining the Financial Women’s Association, we’re not just supporting gender equity—we’re investing in the future of responsible finance. Women leaders bring unique insights that strengthen our ability to navigate uncertainty, manage risk, and create sustainable value for our policyholders and stakeholders.

At AIA, we are proud to stand alongside women who are shaping the future of financial resilience. Their leadership is essential to building a more inclusive and future-ready investment ecosystem."

From AIA Chief Corporate Solutions Officer, Kenneth Tan:

"In a progressive society like Singapore, it’s easy to assume that gender equity is a given. Yet, the reality is that women—especially in finance—remain underrepresented in leadership and decision-making roles. This is not just a gap; it’s a missed opportunity. Empowering women is no longer a 'nice to have'—it’s a strategic imperative that drives innovation, resilience, and inclusive growth.

Our support for the Financial Women’s Association reflects AIA’s deep commitment to advancing diverse leadership and creating a culture where every voice is heard and valued. We are honoured to stand alongside an organisation that shares our belief in the power of women to shape the future of finance.

As a leader surrounded by many talented female colleagues, I am personally committed to helping them thrive—not just within AIA, but across the industry."

Barclays’ Women’s Initiative Network helps us attract, retain and maximize the development of talented women. Joining FWA provides us opportunities to participate in external activities that promote gender diversity and the development of female talent.

BlackRock’s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being, with clients ranging from governments, foundations and other large institutions to those investing on behalf of individuals – like firefighters, nurses, teachers and factory workers – saving for retirement. Clients turn to us, as both an asset manager and leading provider of financial technology, for the innovative solutions they need when planning for their most important goals.

FWA Singapore’s mission of empowering women within the financial sector is critical. Bridgewater’s meritocratic culture relies on embracing diversity and we look forward to the opportunity to network with other FWA members and learn from women throughout the Singapore financial community.

Gender diversity in technology is a global challenge, with significant underrepresentation of women in tech roles across all industries.

Calastone is committed to driving the diversity agenda forward. We launched the Calastone Women in Technology internship program, promoted International Women’s Day and other activities.

Hence, we would like to do something locally in Singapore. Joining FWA Singapore should be a very good start.

At Coda, we’re committed to creating a workplace where women are supported, recognized, and given the opportunity to succeed.

By partnering with FWA, we provide our female professionals with access to leadership development, industry networks, and professional growth opportunities. We believe in the power of community and collective empowerment, and we’re excited to be part of this journey with FWA.

At DBS, women make up half of our workforce, 40% of our senior management, and drive key businesses and functions across the bank. We embrace diversity, equity and inclusion to attract the best people, build the best teams and produce the best work to serve our customers, businesses and the community. We believe the diversity of our people is a powerful competitive advantage that enables us to continually innovate and reimagine the future of banking.
 

We are glad to partner with FWA to offer our female professionals the opportunity to connect, network and learn alongside other professionals in the financial services industry.

FWA provides us an opportunity to participate in events that improve our insight, deepen our understanding and develop the skills of the women in our Singapore office.

S&P Global WINS  aims to assist women in achieving their ambitions and helps our company build an inclusive workplace where women of all identities are supported and empowered. We do this through our dedicated People Resource Group, WINS (Women's Initiative for Networking and Success).  We create initiatives that assist in raising the visibility of women, providing opportunities for women to develop leadership skills via mentorship and coaching projects as well as broaden their network with peer support both internally and externally. We strive to challenge gender bias and foster a culture of allyship to create and maintain a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace for all. 

We strongly believe that through a partnership with FWA, our members in Singapore will benefit from the regional networking and education opportunities that the association provides as well as contribute to charitable causes for women's needs.

We aim to develop a culture of individual and organizational leadership that will enhance the execution of Northern Trust's strategy and make a meaningful, measurable difference in the advancement of women at Northern Trust. We are also keen on looking at how we can further engage our male employees as allies. We believe we can partner with FWA to enhance our brand presence and to share best practices with our industry peers in creating a more inclusive work environment.
