Singapore investors lead globally in AI-driven investing

Interest in AI education is also high, with 39% planning to learn more about AI-driven investment strategies within the next year.

Singapore retail investors are among the world’s most enthusiastic adopters of AI in personal investing.

According to a survey from eToro, 32% of retail investors in Singapore already use AI tools to guide or adjust their investment choices—well ahead of the 19% global average.

Another 43% in Singapore said they are open to trying AI-powered tools, compared to 39% globally. Only 20% expressed no interest in using AI for investing, far lower than the 33% global figure.

The top motivation for using AI was efficiency: 56% of Singapore respondents said it saves time on research. Over half (51%) believe AI represents the future of investing.

A significant portion also expressed confidence in AI's decision-making capabilities: 33% think it will outperform them, whilst 32% believe it could beat fund managers—both in returns and cost.

Interest in AI education is also high, with 39% planning to learn more about AI-driven investment strategies within the next year, compared to 23% globally.

The survey revealed a tech-heavy positioning among Singapore investors. 59% currently hold tech stocks, and 27% plan to increase their tech exposure in the next three months.

Reflecting optimism in the sector, 64% expect AI-related stock prices to rise before the end of 2025, and 27% have either increased or plan to increase their holdings in Nvidia—an AI hardware frontrunner.

The survey also noted a gender split in sentiment. 56% of female respondents in Singapore view AI as the future of investing, compared to 46% of men. Time savings was a key benefit cited by both groups: 57% of women and 54% of men.

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.
