Safe haven assets and equities draw Singapore investors' interest

Investors over 40 prefer Singapore stocks.

Facing uncertain markets, eight of ten Singapore investors lean towards a combination of safe haven assets and equities.

Amongst asset classes, Fullerton Fund Management said Singaporeans identified fixed deposits, government bonds and Singapore equities as the three best investment options.

"The younger demographic more bullish on equities than their senior counterparts," the report added.

The report also found that investors over 40 have a "home bias," preferring Singapore stocks, whilst younger ones prefer global stocks.

"This disparity may suggest a trend where younger investors lean towards growth-centric investment strategies, while older investors gravitate towards familiar markets that are perceived as more stable or valued for their dividend yields," the report stated.

Fullerton Fund Management also found that Singaporean investors are interested in non-traditional assets and emerging structural themes.

In Singapore, about four in five (79%) investors wanted exposure to sectors that align with the broader direction of the future global economy in areas such as biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and sustainable energy.

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.
