Chart of the Day: Singapore's AUM up 7% to $2.7t

55% of total funds came from Asia Pacific.

This chart from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) shows that total assets managed by Singapore-based asset managers grew by 7% YoY to reach $2.70t, up from $2.60t in 2015. Assets under management (AUM) expanded at a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

Around 78% of these were sourced from outside Singapore.

Asia Pacific remained the biggest source of funds with a 55% share whilst 19% of the total funding was from the US.

Meanwhile, 17% of AUM fund sources came from Europe and 9% came from the rest of the world.

MAS said this demonstrates Singapore’s role in serving regional and international investors.

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.
