DBS partners Granite Asia to provide capital, financing for high-growth companies in Asia
Collaboration opens up investment opportunities for DBS wealth clients
[SINGAPORE] DBS is partnering a multi-asset investment platform to develop innovative investment and financing solutions, targeted at providing capital and support for high-growth Asian companies.
The partnership with Granite Asia &ndash formerly known as GGV Capital Asia &ndash kicked off with the closing of a US$110 million artificial intelligence-focused initial public offering (IPO) fund, which was subscribed for exclusively by DBS wealth clients. It drew broad-based interest from investors across South-east Asia, South Asia and Europe.
The fund is the first in a series under the partnership formalised through a memorandum of understanding. Under the deal, Granite Asia will develop new funds for DBS clients and offer co-investment opportunities.
In the pipeline is a private capital product designed to accelerate tech-enabled transformation across Asian businesses through non-dilutive capital, enabling wealth clients to invest in opportunities typically available only to institutional investors.
On its part, DBS will leverage its corporate and investment banking capabilities to support Granite Asia&rsquo s fund and portfolio companies in every stage of their life cycle.
This includes an end-to-end solution spanning subscription financing and corporate loans, advisory for mergers and acquisitions mandates, support for bond issuance and preparation for an IPO.
Singapore-based Granite Asia specialises in equity and credit solutions designed to drive long-term impact, providing support from early-stage equity to late-stage financing.
It manages around US$10 billion in assets and co-managed capital. In the last six months alone, the company has achieved five listings, and 10 additional IPO filings among its portfolio companies.
Granite has invested in 127 companies valued at over US$1 billion and supported 65 IPOs worldwide. It has consistently delivered a 30 per cent internal rate of return over the past 20 years. Unicorns in its portfolio include Grab, Xiaohongshu, Thunes and XPeng.
DBS chief executive Tan Su Shan on Monday (Feb 23) said the partnership with an asset manager is the first of its kind for the bank, and reflects its commitment to power Asia&rsquo s next generation of global leaders.
It is also a &ldquo clear expression of our &lsquo One Bank&rsquo approach&rdquo , she added, bringing together the wealth, institutional banking and global financial markets teams to serve clients across their life cycle.
&ldquo By combining DBS&rsquo capabilities with Granite Asia&rsquo s deep founder relationships and track record in backing innovative Asian champions, we can bring differentiated investment opportunities to our clients and create new pathways for ambitious founders to expand internationally.
&ldquo With capital flows into Asia set to rise over the coming years, this initiative also catalyses a vibrant funding ecosystem at a time when listings are returning to Asia&rsquo s equity markets.&rdquo
Since 2015, more than 13,000 AI-driven companies have been founded in Asia, and many are seeking capital for expansion.
Jenny Lee, Granite Asia senior managing partner, said the firm brings a &ldquo unique investment lens&rdquo focused on technology and transformation, while DBS contributes banking and capital markets expertise, and regional networks. The collaboration is also a first for the company.
She added: &ldquo Together, we aim to support founders and companies as they scale across borders and mature into enduring global leaders.&rdquo
Foo Jixun, senior managing partner of Granite Asia, said: &ldquo Over more than two decades, (we have) partnered closely with founders building category-defining companies across Asia. Our strength lies in a deeply connected founder and operator network that spans the journey from private markets to IPO.
&ldquo Working alongside DBS allows us to extend that platform as capital markets momentum returns and growth capital becomes more accessible across the region.&rdquo

Saw a few people wanted to buy under $40 or even $28 or lower.
This is only possible if Singapore is a war, pandemic, financial crisis. Until then, DBS is heading to $100.
The recent budget announcement of $150m pump into SG equitites market will huat DBS.

DBS, BofA and UOB retain &lsquo buy&rsquo on Singtel as 3QFY2026 tops expectations
Singtel&rsquo s 3QFY2026 results exceeded expectations, driven by strong performance from Optus and regional associates. Despite a decline in Singapore mobile revenue, analysts maintain a &ldquo buy&rdquo rating on Singtel, citing potential for ARPU improvement and value realisation from data centres and NCS.
DBS closed at S$57.06 on February 13, 2026, exactly at the queried support, raising moderate likelihood (~30-40%) of further headwinds pushing below amid testing technicals.
DBS Downside Risk
Daily chart shows close at S$57.06 (low 56.80), testing January support ~S$57.25-57.40 and Bollinger lower band, with RSI ~57 (neutral), MACD crossover negative&mdash signaling pullback potential to next volume support ~S$44-50 if breached. Headwinds like NIM squeeze from rate cuts, valuation at 2.2x BV, and 2026 export slowdowns heighten risk, though hedging and buy signals from MAs limit high probability short-term.
Long-Term Holding
Holders enjoy ~5% yield (S$2.64/share quarterly, TTM) plus 130%+ 5-year gains, suiting Singapore retirees with DBS' s ROE leadership over STI ETF.
Superior Trading Methods
These active methods can outpace buy-hold by 2-5% annualized via timing/diversification, per backtests on STI banks (higher risk).
| Method | STI Bank Example | Edge vs. Buy-Hold |
|---|---|---|
| Swing Trading | DBS buy S$57.06 bounce to S$60 UOB S$38.47-S$39.50. | Multiple 3-5% swings/year. |
| DCA/RSP | Monthly OCBC at S$21.11 via POSB Saver (~4.8% yield). | Lowers avg. cost on dips. |
| Pairs Trade | Long UOB S$38.47 (1.2x P/B), short DBS (premium). | Sector-neutral gains on spreads. |
| ETF Rotation | Nikko STI ETF (banks ~40%) on pullbacks. | Diversified, lower vol. |
