Youth's types of investments. Chart from: figures from Singapore University of Social Sciences and Great Eastern

Chart of the Day: Which is the common type of investment for young people

Young people mostly invest their money in shares.

As more young people start investments, a majority of those aged 16 to 25 years old invest their money in shares, followed by exchange-traded funds, figures from Singapore University of Social Sciences and Great Eastern showed.

The chart showed that the top investment type for young Singaporeans is shares with 60.4% of 16 to 19 years old choosing this option, 61.7% of 20 to 24 age group picking shares, and 71.1% of 25 years old Singaporeans choosing shares.

This was followed by exchange-traded funds and cryptocurrencies.

According to the research, most respondents invested in these types, which is caused partly by social media influence.

The study surveyed 2,499 respondents aged 16 to 25 years old. Of the 2,499, 38.58% said they started investing whilst 61.42% said they did not.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
