GINZA, Japan, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The House of Harry Winston, the legendary “King of Diamonds” and “Rare Jeweler of the World,” proudly opens its new Ginza flagship salon.

Located at 1-7-10 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, the expansive 869-square meter space is now Harry Winston’s largest salon in Japan. Spanning three floors, the new flagship introduces a fresh design direction, reimagining the iconic Winston style through a more contemporary, architectural lens.

“Japan holds a special place in the history of Harry Winston. Since opening our first salon in 1988, Japan has played an integral role in building the House’s renowned global legacy,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston, Inc. “Set in Ginza – the epicenter of luxury, where forward thinking design meets enduring tradition – the opening of our new Flagship represents an exciting new chapter – one that honors the House’s longstanding relationship in Tokyo, while also offering a bold vision for the future.  With this opening, we deepen our commitment to serving our clients, both new and existing, at the highest level.”

Every detail within the interior speaks to the House’s enduring legacy. Fine-cut white polished marble outlines the perimeter of each floor, complemented by custom carpets that add warmth and texture. Walls are finished in glossy white textured wallpaper and marble, lending a luminous effect throughout. A statement chandelier and curated decorative furnishings complete the ambiance.

Each floor of the salon unveils a distinct experience, guiding guests through a space that reflects the House’s heritage and dedication to craftsmanship. The first floor is devoted to bridal, while the second-floor houses signature collections, timepieces, and the House’s most exceptional high jewelry creations. This level also features the largest VIP salon in Japan, offering an intimate environment for private client experiences. Below ground, a dedicated merchandise repair concierge further enhances the House’s aftercare services.

The exterior façade, clad in crème travertine marble, features window vitrines and three illuminated lightboxes showcasing the House’s seasonal campaigns. At the entrance, guests are welcomed through Harry Winston’s signature black and gold double gates, adorned with rosette motifs and flanked by two matching lampposts—iconic elements that pay tribute to the House’s historic Fifth Avenue Flagship in New York City. Since opening its first salon in the country in 1988, Harry Winston has expanded to eight locations in Japan.

• Highlights momentum from Moomoo AI launch and new partnerships with global asset managers
• Reinforces commitment to financial literacy, accessibility, and smarter investing through AI

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo Singapore is proud to announce that it has won the WealthTech of the Year and Personal Finance Tech of the Year awards at the 2025 Asia FinTech Awards. The accolades recognise the company’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and client-focused solutions to enhance the investment experience for retail and high-net-worth investors alike.

“These awards are a strong endorsement of our mission and progress in Singapore,” Echo Zhao, Country Head, Moomoo Singapore, said “Winning both WealthTech of the Year and Personal Finance Tech of the Year reflects our dual focus – on one hand, building a robust, advanced platform for wealth creation, and on the other, ensuring that every individual investor has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to invest wisely. This recognition motivates us to keep raising the bar for our clients and the industry.”

The WealthTech of the Year award recognises Moomoo’s ability to combine advanced technology with deep financial expertise to elevate the private wealth experience. The company’s Moomoo Private Wealth (MPW) service caters specifically to high-net-worth individuals with at least S$1 million in investable assets. The platform equips clients with institutional-grade capabilities, including comprehensive stock screeners, advanced charting tools, and real-time market data.

Beyond technology, MPW integrates personalised advisory through dedicated relationship managers, ensuring clients receive nuanced insights and tailored strategies. Strategic partnerships with leading asset managers further enrich the platform, offering curated investment strategies that meet stringent due diligence and screening standards, giving clients diversified and trusted options.

The Personal Finance Tech of the Year award underscores Moomoo Singapore’s impact in democratising investing for retail users. The company recently surpassed 1.5 million local users — representing one in two Singapore residents aged 20 to 70 — achieving a 50% growth in just 15 months. Its platform provides comprehensive access to global markets through a single, user-friendly interface.

Educational initiatives such as MooLearn, offering over 2,000 investment courses, along with the Global Paper Trading Challenge, support community-driven learning and practical investment experience. This reflects Moomoo’s commitment to empowering investors at every stage of their journey.

The dual recognition comes amid significant momentum for Moomoo Singapore. Earlier this year, the company introduced Moomoo AI at MooFest 2025, a sophisticated investment assistant that delivers real-time insights by combining market data, technical indicators, and news, helping both retail and private wealth clients make informed decisions. The company also recently announced a strategic collaboration with Barings, broadening the range of quality investment products available for MPW clients. Together, these initiatives underscore Moomoo’s dedication to product innovation, client experience, and market partnerships.

“Our vision is to make investing more transparent, efficient, and empowering for everyone,” Zhao said. “These awards affirm that we are on the right track, and they inspire us to go further in driving financial literacy and creating opportunities that benefit all investors in Singapore and beyond.”

Looking ahead, Moomoo Singapore remains focused on elevating financial literacy and enriching the investment journeys of its users. The company continues to explore AI-powered tools, enhance product accessibility, and strengthen partnerships with leading asset managers, fostering smarter financial decision-making and contributing to a more informed and resilient financial community in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UOB Asset Management Ltd (UOBAM) launched its latest managed portfolio solution, the UOBAM Gold+, which blends 49% SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust ETF (GLDM), 49% United Gold & General Fund (UGGF) and a 2% cash buffer. The equal-weight structure offers investors balanced, cost-efficient exposure to the global gold market by pairing physically backed gold bullion with predominantly gold-focused but diversified mining equities.

The UOBAM Gold+ is designed with equal allocations and quarterly rebalancing, enabling investors to benefit from the stability of physical gold during periods of market volatility while capturing the growth potential offered by top-tier mining companies. Additionally, the cash sleeve ensures daily liquidity for enhanced flexibility.

Rachel Ong, Chief Marketing Officer of UOBAM, said “In today’s uncertain market, investors are actively seeking smarter ways to protect and grow their wealth. The UOBAM Gold+ is designed to offer the best of both worlds for investors who are looking for portfolio diversification – combining the stability of physical gold and the growth potential of gold-related equities in a balanced and resilient strategy. With gold reaching successive all-time highs this year and central banks continuing to add bullion to their reserves, this portfolio provides a timely and accessible gateway to tap into the momentum while supporting portfolio hedging and tactical positioning in a dynamic investment landscape.”  

The launch of UOBAM Gold+ comes amid renewed and increasing demand for the metal, fuelled by persistent inflation risk, shifting interest-rate expectations and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. In this environment, gold has reaffirmed its role as both a liquid safe-haven asset and a proven strategic diversifier for long-term portfolios. The SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust ETF (GLDM) offers one of the most competitive expense ratios in the market, serving as a cost-efficient defensive sleeve. Complementing this, the United Gold & General Fund (UGGF) is an actively managed strategy with more than 30 years of proven performance, investing in established, cash-generative global mining companies with a strong focus on gold. Together, these two funds provide a dynamic blend, balancing gold’s price movements with diversified exposure across physical gold and global-mining stocks.

Exclusively available on the UOBAM Invest app, the portfolio offers convenience and accessibility with a low minimum investment amount starting from S$1. Currently, investors can also benefit from no advisory and platform charges, enabling them to make the most of their investments.

BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, added: “KuMining’s incubation reaffirms our community commitment, advancing ‘crypto for good’ by bringing hashrate back to retail investors at competitive costs. By decentralizing mining power to real users, it builds an inclusive Web3 where assets can accumulate passively.“

TBO’s purchase of the leading U.S. luxury travel wholesaler elevates its premium outbound travel market services across the global stage

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TBO (NSE: TBO TEK), based in Gurugram, India, announced its agreement to acquire US based Classic Vacations from Phoenix-based investment firm, The Najafi Companies, for an estimated total purchase of up to $125 million.

The acquisition brings together the power of TBO’s first-class technology platform and worldwide inventory with Classic Vacation’s vast network of luxury travel advisors and suppliers. Classic Vacations delivered a revenue of $111 million and an operating EBITDA of $11.2 million in the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2024.

TBO’s expansion into serving the premium outbound travel market aligns strategically with Classic Vacation’s exclusive B2B brand and elite, high-value advisor network enhanced by its nearly five decades of success and brand recognition.

“We’re thrilled to bring Classic Vacations into the TBO family – the company’s longstanding delivery of outstanding services has earned the trust of its more than 10,000 travel advisors in the U.S., and their end customers, making them a seamless fit for our vision moving forward in the fast-evolving travel and tourism industry,” said Gaurav Bhatnagar, TBO’s co-founder and Jt. managing director. “Classic Vacations is led by a strong team of experts and will continue as an independent brand while leveraging TBO’s technology and distribution capabilities to grow their business.”

“This acquisition continues to further our strategy to invest in both organic and inorganic growth opportunities. As we start working on integrating Classic Vacations with TBO, we will remain open to similar strategic alliances going forward,” said Ankush Nijhawan, co-founder and Jt. managing director of TBO.

“We’re excited for this next phase in our company’s journey – TBO’s tech-centric solutions are geared fully toward our travel advisor community,” said Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations. “TBO connects us to its first-class technology platform unlike what the wholesale market has ever had access to – allowing us to bring even more resources, tools and insider connections to our valued travel advisors.”

“Together, we’re strengthening Classic Vacations’ position as the premier luxury partner in the market while extending our reach onto the global stage, reflecting the worldwide footprint of our most important customers and supplier partners,” Krueger added.

This next phase in TBO and Classic Vacations’ operations will leverage the combined strength of both companies — accelerating growth as a global leader of the luxury travel market while ensuring continuity for customers, suppliers, and employees. With global demand for luxury travel projected to expand significantly over the coming decade, this partnership creates a stronger platform to meet evolving traveler expectations and drive sustained value.

Classic Vacations was bought by The Najafi Companies in 2021 from Expedia Group.

“This acquisition and partnership is a natural next step for our portfolio company Classic Vacations, and we’re happy to have worked successfully with them for the last four years, maximizing the company’s strengths and expertise in luxury travel. With a proven track record of delivering value to partners and travelers alike, Classic is uniquely positioned to lead the industry forward, building on its legacy of performance for years to come,” said Jahm Najafi, founder and CEO of The Najafi Companies.

Moelis & Company LLC acted as exclusive financial adviser and Ballard Spahr LLP acted as legal advisor to Classic Vacations in this transaction. Cooley LLP served as the legal advisors and PWC were the financial and tax advisors for TBO.
