4 in 5 Singaporeans to invest more amidst rising inflation

Digital investment platforms have become popular amongst respondents.

Around four in five or 79% of Singaporean respondents are planning to invest more amidst rising concern over inflation and volatile markets, a survey by Endowus said.

Only 19% of Singapore respondents said that they will be keeping to their current level of investments, with less than 2% indicating that they will be investing less.

There is also an increase of women investors, especially amongst younger Singaporeans. According to Endowus’ data, 39% of its clients are women investors with younger female Singaporeans representing the bulk.

Meanwhile, digital investment platforms have grown in popularity amongst Singaporean respondents, with 90% of them using digital wealth platforms and robo-advisors. 74% of them are currently using online brokerages whilst 28% of respondents are using crypto trading platforms. 

Comparatively, only one in five respondents are tapping the services of traditional financial advisors, while one in four noted that they are using the investment services offered by banking institutions and traditional brokerages.

The Endowus Wealth Insights study was conducted in February 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
