All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Singapore Wealth Management Report Overview

Singapore’s affluent segment (including HNW and mass affluent individuals) has grown steadily in recent years. Collectively, HNW and mass affluent individuals accounted for almost two-fifths of the total population in 2022. In Singapore, affluent individuals held 84% of the city-state’s total liquid assets in 2022, with mass affluents alone accounting for almost half. In addition, the larger role of deposits in the liquid asset mix helped prevent a loss of wealth among the affluent, who tend to be more exposed to variable assets such as equities.

The Singapore wealth management market research report offers a detailed analysis of wealth and retail savings and investment instruments, including deposits, mutual funds, equities, and bonds. The report also provides exhaustive information on where High Net Worth (HNW) individuals distribute their investments. Furthermore, the report assists in understanding offshore investment drivers for the mass affluent, emerging affluent, mass market, and HNW individuals.

Singapore Wealth Management Market - Investment Channels

A few of the key investment channels in the Singapore wealth management market are advisors at investors’ main banks, advisors at other banks, investment platforms at main banks and other banks, independent financial advisors (IFAs), investment management companies, pension companies, and robo-advisors, among others. In 2022, robo-advisors was the most popular investment channel among retail investors in Singapore. This preference is mainly driven by the cost and convenience offered by such services compared to other options. Robo-advisors aims to provide holistic investment advice at significantly lower management fees compared to traditional wealth management firms. Retail investors are increasingly flocking to robo-advisors. In 2022, they became the most popular investment channel in the emerging affluent segment.

Singapore Wealth Management Market - HNW Asset Allocation Classes

The major asset allocation classes for HNW investors in the Singapore wealth management market include property, cash, bonds, commodities, equities, and alternative payments. In 2022, property investments accounted for the single largest share of HNW assets. Singapore’s HNW investors favor property over all other asset classes. Fortunately, for wealth managers, property funds account for the highest proportion of HNW property investments, positively affecting wealth managers’ ability to generate fee income. The inclination toward property can be attributed to rising house prices, which is reflected in the increase in the city-state’s residential property price index in 2022.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
