Investment volumes in 2026 set to surpass 2025 levels

As 2025 YTD investments hit $28b, already beating last year’s $25b.

Investment volumes in 2026 is expected to surpass 2025 levels as the volumes for this year already exceeded the figure of the previous period.

Investment deals of at least $10m in the city-state as of 7 November 2025 (2025 YTD) stand at $28b, compared to the $25b recorded for the full year before, Cushman & Wakefield said in its Singapore Market Outlook 2026.

Of this, the hospitality sector saw more than $10b investments in 2025 YTD, it added.

The projected upward trend of investment volumes shows growing investor confidence and a strengthening market cycle, Cushman & Wakefield said.

This is amidst the SGX Group and Nasdaq, Inc. partnered to simplify dual listings in Singapore and United States through their Global Listing Board, which is scheduled to go live mid-2026.

The board aims to enable companies with a market capitalisation of $2b and above access global capital, investors and liquidity.

Manulife Investment Management was recently appointed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as one of the asset managers under the Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP), a $5b initiative by MAS to boost investors and liquidity in the city-state’s equities market.

In the EQDP, the investment management firm will launch a Singapore All-Cap Equity strategy that will offer stock selection as the primary source of long-term value.

In October 2025, the city-state saw $274m of funding in late-stage rounds, a 74.89% increase from the previous month and an 11.62% rise compared to the same month last year.

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.
