Studies have shown that while females make better investors, they tend to take more time to start investing. The Endowus Women & Investing community aims to empower women with the Choice, Confidence, and Community to kickstart their investment journey and work towards their life goals. It brings together new and experienced investors, like-minded individuals and associations towards this common goal.

Endowus will be partnering associations such as Financial Women's Association of Singapore (FWA) and United Women Singapore (UWA) to host financial literacy training workshops for females of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. We will also be partnering with #Embassadors to co-create content in digestible formats to broaden its accessibility and reach.

Endowus Fin.Lit Academy features in-depth articles tailored to a female’s wealth needs and goals, and we hope to bring more useful content and interesting stories to female investors and investors-to-be.

While the rise of the gig economy has created many job opportunities, gig work is still fundamentally different from traditional employment. With inconsistent income streams, little to no contributions towards CPF, and lack of insurance coverage, there is a need for us to help gig workers improve their financial literacy, personal finances, and retirement planning.

Endowus aim to collaborate with notable platform players to co-develop a financial literacy series for gig workers. The series will be customised based on their needs, and will touch on topics such as “Understanding CPF”, “Financial planning for Grab partners”, and “Investing for retirement”.

In 2021, we launched the Endowus Giving Machines under our Endowus Gives Back (EGB) initiative, where physical and virtual machines are placed islandwide for people to donate to causes near and dear to them. It aims to encourage Singaporeans to give back during the festive season.

In 2022, we expanded the reach and impact of the Giving Machines with the support of Amundi, Fidelity, and Natixis, doubling the number of physical locations and beneficiaries. EGB has raised over S$125,000 in donations, for 24 not-for-profit organisations and charities such as Centre for Fathering, Make-a-Wish Foundation, SPCA and Yellow Ribbon Fund in just two years. In 2023, we hope to continue working with partners including the National Volunteer And Philanthropy Centre and Access Singapore to create more financial and social opportunities for all.

As digital natives, young adults are often inundated with financial advice online — it is critical that we equip them with the right knowledge and skills to give them a strong foundation in managing their money.

Since 2019, Endowus has been an active participant and contributor in the financial literacy circuit for young adults. We have regularly conducted financial & investing 101 workshops, “Ask Me Anything” sessions and fireside chats at local polytechnics and universities including NP, SP, NUS, NTU and SMU.
