SINGAPORE - January 12, 2025 - Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank ("BCIB"), represented by Dr Chutamas Vongvorakit, today announced a strategic joint venture with JCube Capital Partners, represented by Dr Justin Chan, and Famos Trustee Limited, represented by Dr Joyce Louisa C., to co-market and offer an institutional gold-focused investment fund to qualified, accredited, and professional investors across selected jurisdictions.

The collaboration brings together a Financial Trinity of Bank, Fund, and Trust, combining BCIB's international investment banking and capital structuring capabilities, JCube Capital Partners' Singapore-based fund management and Variable Capital Company (VCC) expertise, and Famos Trustee Limited's independent fiduciary and trust administration platform. The partnership is designed to deliver an institutional-grade gold investment solution anchored in governance discipline, transparency, and investor protection.

Under the arrangement, the gold investment fund will be structured under Singapore's VCC framework and managed by JCube Capital Partners. The fund will provide professionally managed exposure to gold-linked strategies, with a core emphasis on capital preservation, portfolio diversification, and prudent risk management. Participation will be strictly limited to eligible institutional, accredited, and professional investors, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

"Gold continues to play a strategic role in institutional portfolios, particularly amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty," said Dr Chutamas Vongvorakit. "This initiative reflects BCIB's commitment to working with credible, regulated partners through a disciplined Bank-Fund-Trust architecture that meets institutional expectations for governance and investor protection."

JCube Capital Partners, represented by Dr Justin Chan, will act as fund manager, overseeing investment strategy, portfolio construction, and regulatory compliance under Singapore's fund management framework. Famos Trustee Limited, represented by Dr Joyce Louisa C., will serve as trustee and fiduciary agent, providing independent oversight, asset safeguarding, and cross-jurisdictional transparency in line with best-practice fiduciary standards.

The initiative forms part of BCIB's broader strategy to integrate investment banking origination, regulated fund management, and independent trust governance into a cohesive international platform capable of supporting diversified alternative investment offerings for institutional capital.

Further details on the fund's structure, investment mandate, and subscription terms will be made available to eligible investors through formal offering and disclosure documents.
