Key Highlights

• There are just over 150,700 HNWIs in Singapore, with an average wealth of US$4.8 million per person and a combined wealth of US$730 billion.
• Singapore has the highest population density of HNWIs in the world; approximately one in 30 Singaporean residents is a HNWI.
• Real estate is the largest asset class for HNWIs in Singapore, accounting for 28% of total HNWI assets. It is followed by business interests with 26%, equities with 18.1%, cash with 11.3%, fixed-income with 10.9% and alternatives with 5.8%. Real estate allocations are significantly higher than the global and regional averages.
• Business interests and alternatives were the best performing segments over the review period (2007-2011), driven by an influx of investors from the mainland and a rise in commodity prices.
• Over the forecast period, WealthInsight expects a shift away from property and towards equities and business interests.
