NDB Wealth Management has partnered with Colombo Fashion Week 2025 (CFW), bringing together two industries that thrive on shared values including vision, precision, and innovation. As Sri Lanka’s leading private sector asset management company, with over Rs 350 billion assets under management, NDB Wealth Management has long been a trusted financial partner to high-net-worth individuals and professionals across diverse fields. This collaboration thus marks a new chapter aimed at ensuring that Sri Lanka’s fashion and creative entrepreneurs have a strong foundation to build sustainable, long-term success.
Ruwan Perera – Chief Executive Officer at NDB Wealth Management commented on the partnership saying, “Fashion and finance are more connected than people usually imagine as both require a deep understanding of trends, a long-term vision, and the ability to adapt. Colombo Fashion Week has built an ecosystem that nurtures creativity and innovation, and we are proud to be part of that journey. With this partnership, we are contributing towards actively supporting Sri Lanka’s fashion entrepreneurs and professionals, ensuring they adopt the right financial strategies to support their ambitions, grow their businesses, and secure a future for sustainable fashion.”
For over two decades, CFW has been at the forefront of shaping Sri Lanka’s fashion industry, elevating local talent and nurturing a thriving creative ecosystem. Transcending visibility alone, CFW has emerged as a comprehensive platform for designers to grow their brands, expand their reach, and set new benchmarks in sustainable fashion. Success in fashion, like in finance, is built on strategic decisions, adaptability, and a clear vision for the future. This partnership therefore reflects NDB Wealth Management’s commitment to empowering industries beyond financial services.
Sustainability remains a key priority, both in terms of investment strategies and in the fashion industry. CFW has consistently championed responsible fashion, encouraging designers to integrate ethical sourcing and sustainable practices into their collections. Similarly, NDB Wealth Management helps clients build wealth responsibly, ensuring financial plans align with long-term, sustainable growth. In an ever-changing world, both industries thus understand the value of making decisions that benefit people and planet over the long term, making for a perfect symbiosis.
Just as fashion designers tailor their creations to perfection, NDB Wealth Management crafts bespoke investment solutions designed to meet unique financial aspirations. Whether it’s short-term liquidity management for business growth or long-term investment portfolios for future security, NDB Wealth Management’s suite of services is designed for those who understand the importance of planning ahead. With money market funds, equity portfolios, private wealth advisory, and other tailored services, NDB Wealth Management enables Sri Lanka’s leading investors, professionals, and entrepreneurs to grow their wealth while focusing on driving transformation in their own respective fields.
Accordingly, Colombo Fashion Week 2025 Summer Edition, which took place from 19th to 22nd February, was a landmark edition, celebrating the pinnacle of design, craftsmanship, and sustainability. As the industry continues to evolve, NDB Wealth Management stands firmly alongside Sri Lanka’s creative pioneers.
