Singapore is third most preferred market of affluent investors in 2025

The city-state ranked alongside the United States and Hong Kong as a top choice for global high-net-worth individuals.

Singapore has been named one of the top three preferred markets for affluent investors looking to open overseas investment accounts, according to HSBC’s Affluent Investor Snapshot 2025.

The city-state ranked alongside the United States and Hong Kong as a top choice for global high-net-worth individuals seeking to diversify internationally.

The report, based on responses from over 10,000 affluent investors across 12 markets, highlights Singapore’s enduring appeal as a global financial hub.

In addition to its strong regulatory framework and stable economy, Singapore’s strategic location and investment accessibility have reinforced its status as a trusted jurisdiction for wealth management.

Notably, half of Singapore’s own affluent investors expressed intentions to invest internationally within the next 12 months, one of the highest levels of outbound appetite in the region.

HSBC cited this as evidence of a broader trend: investors are taking a more strategic, global approach to portfolio building amidst shifting macroeconomic conditions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
