8 in 10 expert investors change strategy amidst rising inflation

EV and tech are the key themes amongst Singaporean investors.

More than a quarter (85%) of expert investors had made changes to their investment strategies in response to inflation challenges, the Schroders Global Investor Study 2022 has found.

A number of average (42%), beginner (24%), and rudimentary (23%) investors have also done the same.

Almost half of investors, regardless of their level of knowledge in investments, are exercising caution against a more challenging outlook, with 47% planning to save more and spend less. Some (46%) are mulling increasing the amount of diversification within their portfolios.

Most of them (60%), however, believe that their investments are diversified enough to mitigate the impact of a significant market event.

Schroders Global said investors are also keen to allocate to sustainability. Similarly, electric vehicles (49%) and technology (48%)  remained key themes amongst Singapore investors.

More than half of expert investors (58%), meanwhile, find active funds more attractive.

To help them during uncertain times, 30% of investors plan to speak with a financial adviser.
Investors who defined themselves as more knowledgeable were more likely to turn to an active manager's expertise than six months ago.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
