FTAG

What FTAG does

FTAG (also branded as Fintech Alliance Global and 新中港) is a Singapore-incorporated private financial group founded in 2013 that operates a multi-subsidiary wealth, capital markets, and venture platform across the Asia Pacific region. Through its two pillars - FTAG Financial Group (licensed financial institutions offering asset and wealth management, money broking, family office and custodian services, client advisory, and digital investment services) and FTAG Group (venture capital, technology R&D, insurance policy trading, and strategic acquisitions) - the firm targets high net worth individuals, family offices, financial institutions, corporates, and endowment funds. The group's operating subsidiaries include FTAG Ventures, FTAG Technology, FTAG Assurance, FTAG Financial, FTAG Capital Markets, and FTAG Asset Management, with a disclosed minority stake in live streaming technology provider BeLive Technology acquired in June 2021.

The firm's revenue model blends subscription-style retainers (wealth management, family office, advisory), transaction fees (money broking, traded endowment and life insurance plan trading via FTAG Assurance), and investment returns from the FTAG Ventures portfolio across fintech, media, education, and mobile startups. Distribution is relationship-led through regional offices in Singapore (headquarters at 26A Ann Siang Road), China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Labuan, supported by FTAG Technology's predictive analytics infrastructure and ecosystem partnerships. Marketing is executed through digital channels, FinTech industry events (notably Singapore FinTech Association engagement), and community sponsorships including the Singapore Pro Series Invitational golf tournament.

Under Chairman Kelvin Chng, FTAG was strategically restructured in 2020 into the current two-pillar architecture to consolidate synergies across licensed financial services and venture/technology operations. The company's stated ambition is to become a global leader in finance and digital innovation, though the firm remains private, discloses no revenue or AUM figures, has no public funding rounds on record, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range - characteristics consistent with a lean holding company model whose material scale signals will depend on future AUM disclosure or external capital events.
