Do Singapore investors know what they’re doing? Financial advisors think not

SINGAPORE (Sept 30): Singapore’s financial advisors believe investors are ill-equipped with the right knowledge and accuracy needed to deal with passive products, retirement, and other investment-related decisions, according to the latest study conducted by Natixis Global Asset Management.

The 2016 Global Survey of Financial Advisors gathered responses from 2,550 financial advisors across 15 countries, including 150 from Singapore, over a five-week period spanning July and August 2016.

It assessed advisor attitudes to a range of topics such as business growth, portfolio construction, client service, advice proposition and investment challenges.
