Retail investors in Singapore are more likely to hold exchange-traded funds (ETF) than their counterparts in the US, Australia and Japan, according to a recent survey. Singaporeans cite diversification benefits, flexibility in trading and lower cost as reasons for their faith in ETFs. 

This is according to State Street Global Advisors’ 2024 ETF Impact Survey, which interviewed 254 retail investors and 50 institutional investors in Singapore in April.
