Singapore investors lead globally in AI-driven investing

Interest in AI education is also high, with 39% planning to learn more about AI-driven investment strategies within the next year.

Singapore retail investors are among the world’s most enthusiastic adopters of AI in personal investing.

According to a survey from eToro, 32% of retail investors in Singapore already use AI tools to guide or adjust their investment choices—well ahead of the 19% global average.

Another 43% in Singapore said they are open to trying AI-powered tools, compared to 39% globally. Only 20% expressed no interest in using AI for investing, far lower than the 33% global figure.

The top motivation for using AI was efficiency: 56% of Singapore respondents said it saves time on research. Over half (51%) believe AI represents the future of investing.

A significant portion also expressed confidence in AI's decision-making capabilities: 33% think it will outperform them, whilst 32% believe it could beat fund managers—both in returns and cost.

Interest in AI education is also high, with 39% planning to learn more about AI-driven investment strategies within the next year, compared to 23% globally.

The survey revealed a tech-heavy positioning among Singapore investors. 59% currently hold tech stocks, and 27% plan to increase their tech exposure in the next three months.

Reflecting optimism in the sector, 64% expect AI-related stock prices to rise before the end of 2025, and 27% have either increased or plan to increase their holdings in Nvidia—an AI hardware frontrunner.

The survey also noted a gender split in sentiment. 56% of female respondents in Singapore view AI as the future of investing, compared to 46% of men. Time savings was a key benefit cited by both groups: 57% of women and 54% of men.

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.
