7 in 10 investors see Singapore stock market as safe haven: study

Higher-risk investors are rotating into markets perceived undervalued, it found.

Over 7 in 10 local investors consider Singapore stocks an “integral part of their investment portfolios.”

The results of the April 2025 survey— which involved 1,500 respondents from the city’s retail investor base— highlights how Singapore’s market continues to be seen as a safe haven amidst global uncertainty, said Gavin Chia, CEO of Moomoo Singapore, which operates a digital brokerage and wealth management platform.

“The survey findings show that Singapore’s stock market continues to be a pillar of stability for local investors, showcasing the enduring confidence in the country’s macroeconomic fundamentals, policy environment, and market resilience,” Chia said, adding that they are seeing higher and sustained trading volume in Singapore stocks.

Higher-risk investors are rotating into markets perceived undervalued or positioned for policy-driven rebounds.

About 4 in 10 of the respondents are shifting exposure to regions such as Hong Kong, which these investors believe have greater near-term upside potential.

Broader investor sentiment across global markets remained cautious, with just 30% of respondents in the survey expressing optimism for the global market outlook for the last six months of 2025.

Nearly 40% of Singaporean investors using the moomoo platform said that they hold crypto. Nearly 30% plan to increase their crypto exposure in the second half of 2025, the study said.
