Almost 40% of S’pore investment professionals expect private capital market to improve

Meanwhile, 10% expect the market to worsen.

In Singapore, 38.5% of investment professionals believe that the private capital market will be “much better” or “somewhat better” in 2024, Heidrick & Struggles reported.

On the flip side, 22.8% believe that the market will remain about the same whilst 10% believe it will be “somewhat worse”.

Across the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore tied with Hong Kong for second place in market optimism, trailing behind Australia, where 50.7% of professionals expressed a positive outlook.

“As the private capital landscape in the Asia Pacific continues to mature, we anticipate an ongoing shift towards more tailored compensation models that align with both global and regional market needs,” Shadi El Farr, regional managing partner of the Financial Services Practice for Asia Pacific and Middle East at Heidrick & Struggles said.

Chart of the Day

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.
