Singapore is third most preferred market of affluent investors in 2025

The city-state ranked alongside the United States and Hong Kong as a top choice for global high-net-worth individuals.

Singapore has been named one of the top three preferred markets for affluent investors looking to open overseas investment accounts, according to HSBC’s Affluent Investor Snapshot 2025.

The city-state ranked alongside the United States and Hong Kong as a top choice for global high-net-worth individuals seeking to diversify internationally.

The report, based on responses from over 10,000 affluent investors across 12 markets, highlights Singapore’s enduring appeal as a global financial hub.

In addition to its strong regulatory framework and stable economy, Singapore’s strategic location and investment accessibility have reinforced its status as a trusted jurisdiction for wealth management.

Notably, half of Singapore’s own affluent investors expressed intentions to invest internationally within the next 12 months, one of the highest levels of outbound appetite in the region.

HSBC cited this as evidence of a broader trend: investors are taking a more strategic, global approach to portfolio building amidst shifting macroeconomic conditions.

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.
