Chart of the Day: Allocation to equity investments dips to 42% in 2016

Alternative and cash assets grew for the year.

This chart from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) shows investors' allocation towards equity investments dipped from 43% in 2015 to 42% in 2016.

Meanwhile, the share of bond assets remained the same at 23%, as investors "sought stable returns."

Allocation towards alternative and cash assets grew to 21% and 5%, respectively.

MAS said the increase in allocation to alternative assets is "reflecting investors’ growing appetite for illiquidity premium in a persistent low yield environment."

Authorised Collective Investment Schemes' (CIS) share in the asset pool dipped to 9%.

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.
