Is iFast the Next Netwealth?
iFast has been quietly building momentum, pulling in S$1.3 billion of net inflows this quarter. At S$7.50 a share and a market cap of S$2.27B, it feels like the early days of Netwealth – now worth A$8.9B with A$3–4B inflows per quarter and a share price above A$36. If iFast can scale its inflows to S$3–4B per quarter, its share price could realistically jump into the S$26–30 range. Its new China pension services arm only strengthens this outlook. At today’s price, S$7.50 might just be the warm-up lap.

Netwealth’s Playbook
Netwealth (ASX: NWL) has become the benchmark for wealth-tech platforms in the region. With quarterly net inflows in the A$3–4 billion range, it now commands a market cap of A$8.9 billion, backed by 245 million shares and a share price of ~A$36.
Its valuation multiple—~7.9 bps of AUA (A$113 billion)—is a function of scale, recurring revenues, and investor confidence in its compounding growth story.
The iFast Upside Scenario
If iFast’s inflows continue to build momentum, crossing S$3–4 billion per quarter, its AUA could expand to S$100 billion or more over the next few years. Using Netwealth’s current market-cap-to-AUA ratio as a yardstick:
Market Cap = S$100B × 0.00079 = S$7.9B
Share Price = S$7.9B ÷ 303M ≈ S$26/share.
In a bull case, where iFast earns a premium multiple similar to Netwealth at its peak (0.09–0.10%), the implied share price could reach S$30–33.

The best thing about iFast is its more global outlook compared to Netwealth. It has strong bases in Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, and China, giving it a broader platform for growth. Pension in China is next up!!
