8VI Holdings

What 8VI Holdings does

8VI Holdings Limited is a Singapore-based investment holding company operating a FinEduTech platform under a "Total WealthCare" framework with three pillars: Portfolio Care (financial education through VI College and the VI App), Protection Care (licensed wealth advisory via Vastus Wealth in Singapore and 8VI FIN in Malaysia), and Preventive Care (healthspan and wellness services via AlphaVI). Founded in 2008 in the aftermath of the Subprime Crisis, the company built its origin in value-investing education — historically branded as Value Investing College — and expanded into Malaysia (2011), China (2015), and Taiwan (2016), listed on the ASX in 2015, and rebranded under the unified VI brand in 2020 alongside a digital transformation that culminated in the VI App.

The company is structured around five wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — VI College, Vastus Wealth Pte Ltd, 8VI FIN Malaysia Sdn Bhd, AlphaVI, and 8BIT Global Pte Ltd (the last holding an MAS Financial Adviser's Licence) — with a stated community of more than 100,000 touched lives and an annual VI Summit positioned as the largest value-investing gathering in Asia since 2012. Its business model combines recurring revenue from tiered education programmes (VI Prime, Life and Investing, Stock/ETF/Options Bootcamps, Wealth Intelligence Plus, Infinite Wealth) with licensed advisory fees and preventive-health subscriptions, distributed through community-led channels, the VI App, events, and a youth CSR initiative.

The company is in a transitional corporate state: it announced voluntary delisting from the ASX in December 2024, was suspended from quotation in February 2025, and has restructured around the Total WealthCare framework. Leadership is led by Executive Chairman and co-founder Ken Chee Kuan Tat, with Joshua See as CEO of AlphaVI and independent directors Ng Tiong Gee and Philip Forrest on the board.
