Top Fund Management Companies in Singapore

Overview

Renowned global hub for asset management services

Singapore is highly renowned for its asset management services, which assist a global customer base in managing their investments and wealth. Data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) shows that Singapore accounted for approximately 3% of the global asset management industry, with around SGD 5 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of 2020. In 2021, Singapore ranked second in Deloitte's competitive ranking of international wealth management centers.

The MAS acts as the regulator for the asset management industry in Singapore and actively takes initiatives to promote the industry to international investors. Singapore’s strong legal system, favorable tax regulations, transparent and stable policies, business friendliness and sound infrastructure facilities play a key role in attracting funds from institutional investors and wealthy individuals living outside of Singapore, which supports the growth of the asset management industry in the country.

As per MAS, around 78% of the AUM in Singapore as of 2020 was sourced from outside the country and only 22% was sourced from within Singapore. Of the funds from outside Singapore, around 34% was from the Asia Pacific region excluding Singapore, 17% from North America, 16% from Europe and the balance 11% from other regions. As of 2020, Singapore had around 962 registered and licensed fund managers as per the statistics from MAS.

Strong historical growth driven by private equity and traditional asset management segments

Based on the data from MAS, as of 2020, AUM under the traditional asset management segment in Singapore accounted for around 80%, and the balance 20% was with alternative asset management segments such as private equity (8%), hedge funds (4%), real estate investment trusts (3%), real estate (5%) and venture capital (less than 1%).

As per MAS, AUM of the asset management industry in Singapore grew at a CAGR of 13% between 2015 and 2020, driven by an 11% CAGR in the traditional segment and an 18% CAGR in the alternative asset segment. The growth in the alternative segment was mainly driven by private equity and venture capital, which grew at a CAGR of 23% between 2015 and 2020.

As per MAS data for 2020, around 42% of the overall AUM in Singapore was allocated to equities, 23% to fixed income, 22% to alternative investment strategies and the balance was mainly in collective investment schemes (CIS). According to MAS, as of 2020, around 51% of the AUM in Singapore was under relatively higher discretionary management strategies employed by asset managers. The balance AUM was under advisory-based asset management services.

The AUM of the Singapore asset management industry was mainly invested in the Asia Pacific region. As per MAS data for 2020, around 68% of the AUM was invested in the Asia Pacific region, of which around 13% was invested within Singapore. Outside the Asia Pacific, around 13% of the AUM was invested in North America, 10% in Europe and the balance 9% in other regions.

Key Trends

Strong industry performance despite challenges from the pandemic

Despite the effects of COVID-19, the asset management industry in Singapore posted strong growth during 2020. As per the statistics from MAS, AUM in Singapore grew 17% YoY in 2020 to SGD 5 trillion, from SGD 4 trillion in 2019, driven by valuation gains and net fund inflows. Net AUM inflow to the industry in 2020 was SGD 387 billion, which was the highest since 2014.

As per MAS, the traditional asset management segment grew 15% YoY and the alternative segment grew 31% YoY in 2020. Within the alternative segment, private equity posted a strong 54% YoY growth in AUM in 2020, significantly higher than the 14% YoY growth in 2019, as investors increased their exposure to private equity in search of higher returns. MAS expects investors’ focus on private equity, venture capital and sustainable investments to continue into the future.

Initiatives from MAS to strengthen Singapore as a leading asset management hub

Singapore launched a special corporate structure called Variable Capital Company (VCC) in January 2020 for investment funds. As per MAS data, this has supported the growth of the fund management industry and enabled incorporation of more than 400 VCCs from January 2020 to October 2021. The variable capital structure of VCCs facilitates flexible issue and redemption of shares, dividend payments out of capital and provides cost efficiencies for fund managers.

In April 2021, MAS partnered with private sector players operating within the asset management value chain and formed Singapore Funds Industry Group (SFIG), with the aim to collectively develop strategies and establish Singapore as the world’s leading full-service asset management center.

Singapore has been part of the ASEAN Collective Investment Schemes framework since 2014, which streamlines the cross-border processes for CIS in the fund management industry. During 2021, the Philippines joined Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in this framework, and these countries are working together to relax investment restrictions and promote cross-border investments.

To cater to the growing global demand for environmental, social and governance (ESG) specific features in investment management products and services, MAS has made its green and sustainable finance initiatives a key priority. Due to Singapore’s commitment towards sustainable investment solutions, a growing number of leading asset managers have picked Singapore as the preferred location to set up their sustainability hub.

Strong competition from Hong Kong and potential threat from fintech industry

In the Asia Pacific region, where Singapore sources most of its fund inflows, the country faces strong competition from Hong Kong in the asset management space. As part of the 2022/23 budgetary initiatives, Hong Kong has introduced special tax concessions to support the country’s asset and wealth management industry. However, greater stability and transparency in Singapore provide a competitive edge for Singapore over Hong Kong. Moreover, the recent political disturbances in Hong Kong have increased the attractiveness of Singapore among wealthy investors.

Fintech companies offering digital assets, investment platforms and AI-based advisory services are gradually gaining popularity in Singapore. Given the personalized services of the asset management industry to its clients, any threat to the industry from fintech companies seems far in the short term. However, in the long run, fintech companies would play a vital role in reshaping the asset management industry, mainly in terms of technology, product offerings, management fees and the regulatory structures.

Key Statistics

  • As per statistics from MAS, the number of registered and licensed asset managers grew 7% YoY to 962 in 2020, from 895 in 2019.
  • According to MAS, the net AUM inflow to Singapore was up 48% YoY in 2020 to SGD 387 billion, from SGD 261 billion in 2019. The net fund inflow from the Asia Pacific was up 15% YoY in 2020.
  • As of 2020, AUM of the traditional asset management segment in Singapore was at SGD 3,707 billion and the alternative asset segment was at SGD 947 billion, as per data from MAS.
