Opening remarks

Kee Joo Wong | Chief Executive Officer, HSBC Singapore

9:15 - 10:00

Geopolitical tensions, trade realignment and divergent economic policies are reshaping the global investment landscape. This session will explore how investors can identify emerging fault lines, manage cross-border risks and uncover opportunities in a more fragmented world.

George Yong-Boon YEO | Visiting scholar at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS and former Singapore Foreign Minister Modal

Justin Muzinich, Chief Executive Officer, Muzinich & Co. Modal

10:00 - 10:30

Singapore’s evolution into a global wealth capital reflects more than its geographic advantage: it's the result of institutional trust, policy foresight, connectivity and a deepening ecosystem of capital and talent. This session will explore why Singapore’s moment has arrived, how its role is likely to develop and what will define the next chapter of wealth creation across Asia.

Alvin Tan | Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Development, Singapore Modal

10:30 - 11:00

The next transformation in financial services may not be defined by new products, but by the redesign of the underlying financial infrastructure. This session will explore how stablecoins, tokenisation and digital-asset networks could reshape the movement, ownership and settlement of value — while considering the regulatory, institutional and trust foundations required for adoption at scale.

Brad Garlinghouse | Chief Executive Officer, Ripple

11:00 - 11:45

The traditional 60/40 portfolio was designed for a world in which bonds provided diversification and macroeconomic regimes were comparatively stable. As inflation, interest rates, geopolitics and market correlations become less predictable, this CEO roundtable will examine how investors can build portfolios that are genuinely resilient — through broader diversification, greater selectivity and a clearer understanding of the risks they are being paid to take.

Richard Oldfield | Group Chief Executive, Schroders Modal

Ali Dibadj | Chief Executive Officer, Janus Henderson Investors

Guy Henriques | President of Europe and Asia Client Group, Capital Group Modal

11:45 - 12:25

Artificial intelligence is moving from a tool that supports decisions to agents that can initiate actions, orchestrate workflows and personalise outcomes. This session will consider how agentic AI could redefine commerce, financial services and wealth management, and what it will take to balance extraordinary gains in productivity with accountability, judgement and human trust.

Ken Moore | Chief Innovation Officer, Mastercard Modal

Kash Razzaghi | Chief Commercial Officer, Circle Modal

14:15 - 15:00

A longer life isn't simply a demographic trend; it's a fundamental redesign challenge for wealth, work and family. This session will explore how individuals must rethink living healthy lives, as well as accumulation, decumulation, retirement income and intergenerational legacy when a century-long lifespan becomes increasingly common.

Prof. Sarah Harper | Professor of Gerontology, Oxford University Modal

Dr. Steven Tucker | Fellow, Singapore Academy of Medicine and American College of Physicians

Peng T. Ong | Technology entrepreneur and investor, Member of the Executive Advisory Board of Dell Medical School at the University of Texas Modal

15:00 - 15:30

The global monetary system is entering a period of profound reassessment, shaped by inflation, fiscal sustainability, divergent central-bank policies and the changing architecture of trade and payments. This session will examine the future role of the US dollar, the prospects for greater currency pluralism and the implications for liquidity, capital allocation and global wealth preservation.

Prof. Michael Spence | Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics, Professor of Management and Dean Emeritus at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business Modal

15:30 - 16:15

Asia’s supply chains are being redrawn as businesses respond to geopolitical risk, industrial policy, technological change and the pursuit of greater resilience. This session will assess whether we‘re witnessing a genuine relocation of economic activity or a more complex reallocation of roles across China, ASEAN and India — and what this means for growth, investment and the next generation of regional champions.
