Dear AIWM members and friends,

As we transition into September, we’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued participation and engagement in our recent events and initiatives.

Your active involvement strengthens our community, and we remain committed to ensuring that AIWM continues to offer a robust platform for professional growth, education, and networking.

August was a productive month for AIWM.

The committee held an impromptu dialogue with MAS, discussing financial institutions’ transition planning for a Net Zero Economy.

We also saw over 70 members engaged at our Business Apero networking event, where we welcomed several new members to the community.

We are excited to build upon that momentum in the coming weeks.

In September and October, we have several important events lined up, including our quarterly regulatory & compliance update event, our 12th AGM, and our charity event.

Please continue to stay engaged with our programmes and networking events, which are crucial for staying up to date with the latest industry developments.
