Analyst advises investors to tap into private markets for corporate growth

DBS also found further upside for gold investment.

One of Singapore’s top banks said private markets are increasingly becoming an epicentre of corporate growth amidst the ongoing economic headwinds in the second half of 2023.

In a report, DBS said private markets are now more accessible as the industry recognises an imperative to embrace the private wealth segment.

“It is an opportune time for investors to tap into private markets for exposure to corporate growth,” said DBS.

In the past quarter, there has been a “double-barrelled positive impact on gold, skewing its return to the upside.”

It added that the heightened volatility stoked short-medium term inflows whilst rising growth risks and sticky inflation heightened the long-term demand outlook for gold as a safe haven asset.

Amidst the volatility in gold prices, DBS found tailwinds for gold that have yet to be priced in amongst which are hurdles in the US Commercial Real Estate Sector, flows from gold ETFs and futures, and rising central bank buying as geopolitical tension continues to escalate.

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.
