The benefits of Singapore

Singapore is often referred to as the Switzerland of Asia, boasting the world’s freest economy, strong property rights and IP protection, very low corruption, a fully funded pension system, large sovereign wealth funds and no net governmental debts.

Geopolitically neutral, globally trusted, and well-defended Singapore, through exceptional statesmanship, has also become one of the world’s top destinations for foreign direct investments. Due to the vast amounts of incoming capital and talent, Singapore has become a key manufacturing and research center globally.

Politically stable, law-based, and with a culture focused on dialogue and mediation, Singapore is an ideal jurisdiction for safeguarding intergenerational wealth.

Comparison with Le Freeport

Le Freeport, formerly known as Singapore Freeport, is a secure storage facility in Singapore owned by Chinese crypto billionaire Wu Jihan. While its original design caters to the fine art industry, such as international auction houses, art dealers, fine art logistics companies, and private collectors, Le Freeport also rents its premises to precious metals storage and high-value collectibles companies.

It is operated as a more traditional precious metal warehousing facility where vault spaces are rented by mostly American 3rd-party vaulting operators such as Brinks, Loomis or Malca-Amit. Bullion dealers, banks and other institutions use the services of these operators to safe-keep their precious metals and other assets.

While service competition can offer immediate cost benefits, this situation exposes asset owners to a large and diverse set of multi-national financial and political interests that The Reserve is specifically designed to minimise.
