SG outbound investments plummet 94.9% YoY in 1Q24

Quarter-on-quarter, deals dwindled by 54.3%.

Outbound investments from Singapore have dipped 54.3% QoQ and 94.9% YoY to $911m in 1Q24, data from MSCI Real Assets showed.

Knight Frank said the drop is likely a result of market sentiment remaining “tentative and cautious.”

“Global investors are likely waiting for a reduction in interest rates or for global tensions to ease before making their next move. At the same time, many are in the process of discovery, evaluating potential acquisitions to pursue a deal when the time is right.

Some of the noteworthy outbound investments from Singapore in 1Q24 include StorHub’s acquisition of five assets for $403.0m in Australia in March and the purchase of Yardhouse in Central London by City Developments Ltd (CDL) for $148.6m in February.

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.
