Real estate investments are still their first choice.

The population of high net worth individuals in Singapore grew to 105,000 in 2013, while their wealth to US$ 523 billion in 2013.

According to the Asia-Pacific Wealth Report 2014, Singapore’s HNWI population and wealth growth was below the regional average as a result of challenged equity markets.

The report showed that 39.3% of Singapore HNWIs, compared to just 31.0% in early 2013, demonstrated a greater focus on wealth growth than wealth preservation (18.7%).

They favored cash and cash equivalents over all other investments, allocating 27.1% (up from 22.6%) of their portfolio.

Singapore HNWIs’ trust in wealth managers and markets increased slightly to 72% and 66%, while trust in firms and regulatory bodies declined to 68% and 73%.

Looking ahead, 7% of Singapore’s HNWIs are confident in their ability to generate wealth in the near future.
