Syfe has partnered with J.P. Morgan Asset Management to launch a new actively managed ETF portfolio for investors in Singapore.
The portfolio, named Equity Alpha, will be available on Syfe’s platform from this week.
Syfe said this marks the first time a digital wealth platform in Singapore is offering J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s institutional active ETF strategy in a managed format.
Active ETFs accounted for about 25 percent of global ETF inflows in 2025, up from 16 percent in 2023.
Equity Alpha targets annual excess returns of 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent over its benchmark. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has reported long-term outperformance of the MSCI World Index over a 20-year period for similar strategies.

Ritesh Ganeriwal, MD, Head of Investment and Advisory at Syfe, said,
“By partnering with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, we are bridging the gap between institutional sophistication and retail accessibility. The Equity Alpha portfolio brings a repeatable, research-led process to individual investors that was historically available only to the world’s largest institutions.
The new portfolio serves as an expansion of Syfe’s growth suite, offering a different driver of returns that complements the factor-based Core Equity 100.”
The portfolio builds on a global equity benchmark and takes multiple small active positions across sectors and countries, with modest country tilts. J.P. Morgan Asset Management provides research insights.
Syfe remains the discretionary manager and oversees portfolio implementation.
It said the strategy uses actively managed ETFs as building blocks, resulting in underlying costs of about 0.20 percent per year, compared with 1 percent to 2 percent for many traditional active funds.

Yuejue Jin, Co-Head of Multi-Asset Solutions Asia at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, added,
“With this partnership with Syfe, our active investment expertise and industry-leading active ETF strategies are now accessible to a wider community of investors in Singapore.
We are proud to support local investors in achieving their long-term goals with portfolios designed for diversification, resilience, and consistent results.”
The launch follows an earlier announcement this month that the two firms are also working together on an Income+ Max portfolio for investors in Hong Kong.
