Chart of the Day: Insurance and pension make up Singapore's biggest asset class

They beat bank deposits and securities.

This chart from the Allianz Global Wealth Report shows that 46% gross financial asset are in insurance and pension schemes. The Lion City joins South Korea and Taiwan amongst Asian countries that particularly favored insurance policies and pension funds whilst other countries prefered bank deposits more.

In Singapore's case, bank deposits (37%) only comes as the second biggest asset class whilst securities (17%) falls next.

"The diversification of a country’s portfolio also reflects its stage of development," the report said. "The lower the share of bank deposits and the broader the distribution of assets across different asset classes, the more highly evolved the financial system generally is."

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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