93% of expert investors seek more influence

They want to engage in climate-related issues.

A majority (93%) of expert investors in Singapore believe they should have the power to influence the companies they have invested in, a study by Schroders Global has found.

This is because personal principles are very important to investors in Singapore, whether they are under the expert (63%), intermediate (14%), or rudimentary (9%) classification.

By age bracket, there were more (71%) 18-50-year-olds who strongly prioritise their principles and values when making investment decisions than investors aged 71 years old and above.

Investors in Southeast Asia particularly want to have a say on climate-related issues (31%) and natural capital and biodiversity (23%).

"Investors of all levels of experience are increasingly wanting to express their views if companies cannot justify their actions," Stuart Podmore, Schroders’ Investment Propositions Director, said.

"If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it is that companies, as well as governments, are under closer scrutiny than ever to mitigate environmental, societal and governance risks sustainably," Podmore added.

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.
