Because they want your money to hit their KPI and increase their AUM.
Not because of any other reason. Definitely not due to altruism or because you're a highly valued customer or you're high net worth.
Hence they have every reason to be more inclusive and cast their net wider. It makes no sense for them to act all high society and turn up their noses at you and deny themselves the money available from the everyday man-on-the-street.
If you have a home loan with them which you just paid off after selling your property, one of these dedicated wealth managers will be sure to call you to ask if you'd like to invest the sales proceeds with them to "secure your retirement needs".
It's very easy to see past all this charade. Because of all the obvious PR and marketing publicity shitty times is providing for them and also because in Singapore you're nothing more than a commodity to be exploited, used and milked dry. This is an inconvenient truth *LOL*
