Indians pick property as the most important area to invest in.

About 84% of Indians based in Singapore are investing in the city-state, HSBC’s first-ever “Global Indian Pulse” revealed.

Based on the report, 50% of Singapore-based Indians have increased their investment in the last three years, whilst 61% of them are planning to expand theirs, as well.

The main reason why Indians based in Singapore want to increase their investments locally is to promote positive change (41%), and are particularly driven by investment related to sustainability.

In fact, about 75% of Singapore-based Indians plan to invest in environmental and social initiatives including renewable energy, whilst 25% of them want to put their money on recycling, and energy-efficient housing.

Affluent Indians (42%), on the other hand, are investing to aid the city-state’s economic recovery.

In terms of asset classes, Indians in Singapore picked property as the most important area to invest in, followed by stocks and shares (40%), and local businesses (33%).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
