Investors reduce exposure to US markets in May: broker

TD Ameritrade said its clients' score in the Investor Movement Index dropped to 5.74.

Singaporean investors reduced further their exposure to US markets in May, according to MAS-licensed broker, TD Ameritrade.

In its latest Investor Movement Index (IMX), the broker reported that its Singaporean clients measured 5.74, a drop from its previous score of 6.10 in April.

IMX measures what investors were doing and how they were positioned in the markets.

Despite reducing their exposure in May, Singaporean investors were net buyers of equities overall and particularly favoured Tesla (TSLA) and Amazon (AMZN).

In terms of sectors, TD Ameritrade’s Singaporean clients were net buyers of communication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials, information technology, materials, and real estate.

Meanwhile, local investors were net sellers of American Airlines (AAL), Delta Airlines (DAL), and United Airlines (UAL) as “inflation continued to cloud the economic picture,” said the broker.

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.
