First adviser to be appointed to the domestic market through the Group’s NEBA Private Clients division, giving Singaporean clients access to TEAM plc’s global investment capability
TEAM plc has appointed Sariel Khoo as a Wealth Manager in Singapore within its NEBA Private Clients division, Sariel is the first adviser to be appointed specifically to serve the Singaporean market, part of a deliberate commitment to Singaporean clients in a market widely regarded as one of the most advanced and most competitive anywhere in the world.
Sariel’s appointment is the first step in TEAM plc’s plan to build a permanent, locally led advisory business in Singapore through NEBA Private Clients, alongside the international practice also run from Singapore.
The Company was established in Singapore in 2010, rebranding as NEBA Private Clients in 2024, and in that time has built its business advising expatriate and globally mobile clients on cross-border solutions. Sariel will focus on advising Singaporean residents as she has done during her career to date but now with the ability to provide a much greater global perspective on products and funds.
Singaporean clients are served by some of the strongest insurance and investment providers anywhere, but access to a genuinely global investment proposition is harder to come by. Through TEAM plc, Sariel’s clients will be able to access the Group’s award winning model portfolios and broad range of products and services.
Joining from SG Alliance, Sariel specialises in wealth protection, retirement planning and legacy planning, and previously held advisory roles with SG Alliance, Great Eastern and Prudential Singapore, earning Court of the Table recognition in 2022. She is fully qualified under Singapore’s Capital Markets and Financial Advisory Services (CMFAS) framework. Her focus will be Singaporean clients, and she also has the technical grounding to advise clients of other nationalities on cross-border matters where required.
John Beverley, Head of International at TEAM plc, said:
“I have lived in Singapore and called it home for the last sixteen years. I understand this market, and that is why we are changing our focus. We already have a strong Singaporean client base, and appointing knowledgeable people like Sariel strengthens what we can offer those clients and creates base to expand from.
“This market is extremely well established in insurance and investments, so the opportunity is not to repeat what is already here. It is to give Singaporeans access to a more global proposition, including TEAM plc’s model portfolios. Sariel is Singaporean, she knows this market and she is fully qualified to advise in it. She is exactly the right person to establish our focus on Singapore and we look forward to building the a wider team alongside her.”
Sariel Khoo, incoming Wealth Manager at NEBA Private Clients, said:
“Singapore is a growth market and I have been looking for a platform that would help me do more for my clients. TEAM and NEBA Private Clients give me that ability – through access to broader solutions and a global perspective, allowing me to deliver advice that’s tailored to each client’s long-term goals. I am truly excited to be involved and to be the first member of the Singaporean focused team.”
