(Singapore, 15 October 2025) Yesterday, WRISE Group and CTF Life Bermuda signed a strategic global partnership to deliver a new, integrated approach to wealth management and legacy planning, marking a major step in redefining how independent asset managers serve high-net-worth clients worldwide.
The collaboration, the first of its kind in the external asset management (EAM) sector, combines WRISE’s extensive private wealth network with CTF Life Bermuda’s innovative insurance-based wealth and legacy solutions. The alliance aims to provide holistic strategies that integrate wealth, health, and legacy planning across global markets, bringing to life CTF Life Bermuda’s brand promise of “creating value beyond insurance.”
The signing ceremony took place yesterday in Dubai, attended by senior executives and key stakeholders from both organisations. Through the partnership, WRISE will distribute CTF Life Bermuda’s suite of insurance products—including Universal Life, Indexed Universal Life, and Variable Universal Life—across its Private and Prestige client segments in major markets by year-end.
“This landmark partnership with CTF Life Bermuda is a testament to WRISE Group’s vision of building a seamless 360-degree wealth management platform,” said Derrick Tan, Group Executive Chairman of WRISE Group.
“As our clients increasingly leverage insurance for long-term legacy planning, this alliance enables us to deliver comprehensive access to wealth protection and succession tools with greater transparency and choice.”
The partnership comes as the global insurance market for high-net-worth individuals is projected to reach US$139.28 billion by 2032, highlighting growing demand for integrated financial solutions that bridge wealth creation and preservation.
Man Kit Ip, Executive Director and CEO of CTF Life Bermuda, said the collaboration represents a bold stride in the company’s international expansion, “By joining forces with a forward-thinking partner like WRISE, we can transcend geographical boundaries and meet the evolving protection and legacy needs of clients globally. Backed by CTF Group’s robust ecosystem, this partnership strengthens our ability to deliver family-centric wealth and health management solutions.”
With operations across Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tokyo, WRISE Group is one of Asia’s fastest-growing financial firms. TF Life Bermuda, a wholly owned subsidiary of CTF Services Limited (HK Stock Code 659) and part of Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited, leverages the century-old “Chow Tai Fook” legacy to offer wealth, health, and lifestyle solutions for sophisticated clients in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
