What is the Risk of Using Syfe?

Syfe client assets are held in trust by custodians:

  • Cash Assets:  DBS & HSBC
  • Invested Assets:  Citibank (Syfe Wealth) & HSBC (Syfe Trade)

As a result, Syfe will never be able to use client funds for any reason, and the funds remain safe even if Syfe stops operating because they are held by custodians safely separated from Syfe corporate assets.
