Over half of Singapore’s ultra-rich consider moving abroad

3 in 5 also plan to send their children abroad for education.

In Singapore, more than half of High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) are considering moving abroad, particularly those with very high net worth (VHNW) and those under 45, according to a report by Agility Research & Strategy.

The report found that their primary motivations include a desire for new cultural experiences, lifestyle changes, and professional growth.

When it comes to education, 40% of HNWIs send their children to local universities, while 60% plan to send them abroad, with the UK as the preferred destination.

In terms of wealth management, 28% of HNWIs in Singapore have already established legal trusts, primarily for wealth transfer after their passing. A significant wealth transfer is expected over the next 10 years, with one in three HNWIs set to inherit substantial assets.

The report also revealed that Singaporean inheritors intend to expand their business ventures and further grow their wealth.

In addition, when it comes to social responsibility, Singaporean HNWIs prioritise quality healthcare for the underprivileged and improved education opportunities.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
