  • Wealth and legacy planning are rarely straightforward. As families manage an estimated US$5.8 trillion in upcoming wealth transfers across Asia Pacific, the complexities of passing down a legacy multiply. Reflecting on this shift, Group CEO Greg Hingston noted: "As clients successfully accumulate wealth, the focus is now shifting to preserving and transferring wealth intentionally, efficiently and meaningfully." At Great Eastern Private, a single point of contact gives you: • Same-day medical underwriting through our partnership with Raffles Medical Group • A curated panel of legal, tax and family advisory specialists • Access to the wider OCBC ecosystem This commitment to holistic wealth management has reached a new milestone. With Great Eastern Financial Advisers (GEFA) now authorised to advise accredited investors on securities and structured deposits, our clients can now be served across protection, investment and legacy planning through a single advisory relationship. Watch the video to see how we continue to evolve with the needs of our clients, across generations. #ReachforGreat #GreatEasternPrivate #GreatEastern

  • Amid ongoing blood supply challenges in Brunei Darussalam, Great Eastern Life Brunei partnered with the Rotary Club of Belait to host the “Every Drop Counts” Blood Donation Drive at Hospital Suri Seri Begawan, Kuala Belait, with the support of the Blood Donation Unit. This meaningful initiative marked our first-ever blood donation drive in the Kuala Belait district, as we continue to expand our community outreach efforts where they are needed most. We are heartened by the strong community response, with 105 blood bags successfully collected, each donation playing a vital role in supporting patients and strengthening the nation’s blood supply. A heartfelt thank you to all donors, partners, and volunteers who came together to make this possible. Together, we make a difference, one drop at a time🩸 #GreatEasternCares #ReachforGreat #GreatEasternBrunei

  • When it comes to long-term care, Great Eastern’s latest study reveals that when faced with disability, most Singaporeans want home-based care – to remain in a familiar environment that preserves dignity and independence. Supporting that aspiration requires more than financial protection, it requires practical help for both care recipients and caregivers. That is why Great Eastern is launching a one-stop home caregiving concierge, in collaboration with Care@Homes, to provide GREAT CareShield policyholders and their loved ones with complimentary home-based disability assessments, and easy access to medical products and caregiving services at preferential rates. By complementing financial protection with practical caregiving support, we hope to help Singaporeans maintain their dignity, quality of life and comfort throughout their long-term care journey, while easing pressures on caregivers and families.

  • For the third consecutive year, we are proud to partner Daughters Of Tomorrow (DOT) to uplift women by building confidence and strengthening digital competencies. From March to May, Great Eastern’s Group IT colleagues dedicated over 200 evening volunteers hours to DOT’s Workplace Digital Literacy programme. Serving as trainers, facilitators, and even childminders, our volunteers brought patience, energy, and encouragement, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where participants develop both essential digital skills and self-confidence. The participants were inspiring, demonstrating courage, determination, and a strong willingness to learn, while balancing many responsibilities in their daily lives. To all graduates, we wish you the very best as you take meaningful steps towards realising your aspirations. Keep shining! We’re excited to continue this journey with DOT. Come July, we will welcome the next cohort for the Basic IT Programme, a preparatory module designed to help learners build a strong foundation before advancing to the Workplace Digital Literacy programme. Find out how Great Eastern continues to be a force for good in the markets we serve through Great Eastern Cares, our corporate social responsibility programme: https://lnkd.in/dNDvBGPX #SocialImpact #Community #DigitalLiteracy #DaughtersOfTomorrow #GreatEasternCares #ReachforGreat #GreatEastern
