Key highlights
In 2014, real estate was the largest asset class for Singaporean HNWIs, with 33.1% of total HNWI assets. This was followed by business interests with 24.8%, equities with 17.4%, cash and deposits with 10%, fixed-income with 9.5% and alternatives with 5.1%.
Business Interests, Real Estate and Alternatives recorded the highest growth during the review period, at respective rates of 36.2%, 35.5% and 32.7%.
Alternative assets held by Singaporean HNWIs increased during the review period, going from 5% of total HNWI assets in 2010 to 5.1% in 2014. HNWI allocations to commodities decreased from 1.7% to 1.6% of total HNWI assets over the same period.
WealthInsight expects allocations in commodities to further decline over the forecast period, to reach 1.4% of total HNWI assets by 2019, as global liquidity tightens due to a forecast near-term drop in demand for raw materials from China. This is expected to cause global commodity prices to flatten out.
Singaporean HNWI liquid assets valued US$138.5 billion as of 2014, representing 17.2% of total wealth holdings.
