8 in 10 expert investors change strategy amidst rising inflation

EV and tech are the key themes amongst Singaporean investors.

More than a quarter (85%) of expert investors had made changes to their investment strategies in response to inflation challenges, the Schroders Global Investor Study 2022 has found.

A number of average (42%), beginner (24%), and rudimentary (23%) investors have also done the same.

Almost half of investors, regardless of their level of knowledge in investments, are exercising caution against a more challenging outlook, with 47% planning to save more and spend less. Some (46%) are mulling increasing the amount of diversification within their portfolios.

Most of them (60%), however, believe that their investments are diversified enough to mitigate the impact of a significant market event.

Schroders Global said investors are also keen to allocate to sustainability. Similarly, electric vehicles (49%) and technology (48%) remained key themes amongst Singapore investors.

More than half of expert investors (58%), meanwhile, find active funds more attractive.

To help them during uncertain times, 30% of investors plan to speak with a financial adviser.
Investors who defined themselves as more knowledgeable were more likely to turn to an active manager's expertise than six months ago.

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.
