While it may sound cliché, being rich does not necessarily mean being truly wealthy. True wealth is not measured only by financial means; it is also about having the time to do what one enjoys and, most importantly, the wellbeing to enjoy it. For many high achievers, the pursuit of a successful career, thriving business or meaningful impact often comes at the expense of time. Too often, health and wellness become the hidden cost of that success.

Wellbeing can often be overlooked in the pursuit of financial success. However, affluent clients in Asia are increasingly perceiving prosperity as a balance between wealth, wellbeing, and the ability to enjoy both. Acknowledging this movement, Standard Chartered has launched a health and wellness proposition that empowers its clients to achieve true wealth through health, wellness, and longevity.

Asia’s affluent want to protect their loved ones, extend their vitality and gain peace of mind. The global wellness economy has expanded rapidly in recent years, while medical inflation and longevity risks have sharpened focus on proactive care.

“Clients are telling us they want a more holistic view of their lives, where wealth and wellness go hand in hand” notes Samir Subberwal, Global Head, Wealth Solutions, Retail Products, Data & Analytics, Standard Chartered.

“Our new health and wellness proposition complements the overall wealth journey. We are supporting our clients by combining trusted medical expertise with active data and insights delivered through cutting-edge wearable technology. This will help our clients safeguard their health while they continue to grow, manage and protect their wealth.”

This approach is built on a first-of-its-kind collaboration among leading industry players Bupa Global and WHOOP to support clients’ long-term health and wellbeing, according to Subberwal.

It is a cross-sector partnership that connects the worlds of wealth management, international insurance and health technology in a single, client-centred ecosystem.
