Indians pick property as the most important area to invest in.

About 84% of Indians based in Singapore are investing in the city-state, HSBC’s first-ever “Global Indian Pulse” revealed.

Based on the report, 50% of Singapore-based Indians have increased their investment in the last three years, whilst 61% of them are planning to expand theirs, as well.

The main reason why Indians based in Singapore want to increase their investments locally is to promote positive change (41%), and are particularly driven by investment related to sustainability.

In fact, about 75% of Singapore-based Indians plan to invest in environmental and social initiatives including renewable energy, whilst 25% of them want to put their money on recycling, and energy-efficient housing.

Affluent Indians (42%), on the other hand, are investing to aid the city-state’s economic recovery.

In terms of asset classes, Indians in Singapore picked property as the most important area to invest in, followed by stocks and shares (40%), and local businesses (33%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
