Pandemic pushed more adult Singaporeans to plan retirement: report

64% of those aged 31-40 willing to forego capital for higher returns.

The pandemic has created an impetus for retirement planning amongst young adult Singaporeans, according to a Fullerton Fund Management survey.

More than two-thirds (42%) of those in the 31-40 age bracket cited COVID-19 as a primary reason, with three-thirds (64%) of the same bracket willing to forego guaranteed capital for higher returns.

Meanwhile, more than half (53%) of those aged 21 to 40 are now expecting to get the most out of their retirement income through investment returns. Eight in ten (80%) said they would have delayed their financial planning without digital tools, and 90% cited these tools as giving them confidence in their financial decisions.

The financial volatility brought about by the pandemic has also reminded investors not to put all their eggs in one basket, the report said. There is an appreciation that risk reduction can be achieved by making investment portfolios more resilient through diversification.

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.
