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.
