Collaboration combines market insights, practical workshops and community outreach to help investors build financial knowledge and use digital tools thoughtfully

SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Longbridge Securities Singapore (“Longbridge”) and the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (“SIAS”) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance investor education and enhance financial literacy in an increasingly AI-enabled investing environment.

The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration across investor education, community engagement and practical learning. It brings together SIAS’s longstanding commitment to investor education and advocacy with Longbridge’s technology and platform capabilities, with a shared aim of helping retail investors make better-informed decisions.

As AI changes how investors access information and research markets, both organisations believe that financial knowledge and the ability to assess information critically are increasingly important. The collaboration seeks to help investors understand market developments, build practical research skills and develop greater confidence in using digital tools, while recognising their limitations.

“AI is opening up new possibilities for investors to explore information, understand markets and ask better questions. Financial education is essential to helping people make meaningful use of those possibilities. Through our collaboration with SIAS, we want to bring technology and learning closer together, giving investors opportunities to build their knowledge and practise using these tools. This MoU reflects our commitment to supporting a more informed and confident investing community in Singapore,” said Gavin Chia, Singapore and Regional CEO, Southeast Asia, Longbridge Securities.

The collaboration will bring learning into a range of settings, from market outlook sessions and hands-on workshops at Longbridge Café to community and heartland programmes. These activities aim to connect financial concepts with practical experience, making investor education relevant to people with different levels of market knowledge and digital confidence.

“Investor education must evolve as the tools available to investors change. Alongside financial fundamentals, investors need to know how to question information, assess its relevance and understand the limitations of AI-generated responses. Our collaboration with Longbridge aims to make this learning accessible and practical, reaching people with different levels of investing experience and digital confidence. We look forward to helping more investors develop the knowledge and judgment to make informed decisions,” said Ang Hao Yao, Vice President, SIAS.
