Principal Asset Management and CIMB Thai Bank Co‑host “Mastering the Future of Wealth” Seminar and Launch the Signature Global Dynamic Income and Growth Fund (SIGNATURE GINGRO), Strengthening Their Strategic Wealth Management Partnership
Principal Asset Management, in collaboration with CIMB Thai Bank, hosted the seminar “Mastering the Future of Wealth” on 23 March 2026 at Grande Centre Point Prestige Bangkok. The event aimed to share investment perspectives for 2026 and highlight the continued success of CIMB Wealth, while reinforcing the strategic collaboration between the two organizations in advancing their wealth management capabilities this year.
The seminar was honored by the presence of senior executives from both organizations, including Mr. Jumpon Saimala, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Principal Asset Management Co., Ltd., who also serves as Head of Retirement Business for Principal’s Southeast Asia region, and Mr. Wut Thanittiraporn, President and CEO of CIMB Thai Bank PCL.
Investment experts from both institutions also joined to share insights and future directions. Speakers included Mr. Bhudinan Sethanandha, Head of Affluent & Wealth Management, CIMB Thai Bank, presenting on “CIMB Wealth – Achievements and Future Directions in Wealth Management.” The session also featured Mr. Pongtharin Sapayanon, Chief Institutional Business & Distribution Officer of Principal Asset Management, and Mr. Jirapaiboon Rattanapanura, Head of Wealth Research & Advisory, CIMB Thai Bank, who discussed investment trends and the potential of the strategic partnership between the two organizations.
A key highlight of the event was the official launch of the newest fund in the SIGNATURE Fund Series — the Signature Global Dynamic Income and Growth Fund (SIGNATURE GINGRO). The fund will be available during its Initial Public Offering (IPO) from 23 March to 3 April 2026. Managed jointly by CIMB’s CIO team and Principal Asset Management, SIGNATURE GINGRO employs a global multi‑asset investment strategy, dynamically blending equities, fixed income, and alternative assets to generate consistent cash flow alongside long‑term growth.
SIGNATURE GINGRO is the latest addition to the SIGNATURE Fund Series and is exclusively distributed to CIMB Thai Bank clients, complementing the well‑received SIGNATURE GINCOME Fund.
In addition, the event announced the launch of the new USD Class for both SIGNATURE GINCOME and SIGNATURE GINGRO — marking the first time CIMB Thai Bank offers USD‑denominated mutual funds. This development elevates the bank’s wealth management offerings to an international standard.
Investors should carefully study the fund features, conditions, returns, and risks before making an investment decision. This fund has a concentrated investment in the United States; therefore, investors should consider the overall diversification of their portfolios. The fund may invest in foreign funds, and the fund manager may use derivatives to hedge against foreign exchange risks where appropriate. However, residual foreign exchange risks may remain, which could result in losses or returns lower than the initial investment. Hedging transactions may also incur costs, which could reduce overall returns. The fund applies a discretionary FX hedging policy (dynamic hedging) of 0%–105% of exposure. Please study the fund prospectus carefully before investing. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Details on automatic redemption conditions are available at www.principal.th.
