Beyond Borders: Singapore HNWIs Explore Global Real Estate

Singaporean property investors are increasingly expanding their portfolios beyond local borders, driven by a combination of rising affluence, global mobility, and strategic wealth diversification.

Citing a BDO Global report, high-net-worth families in Singapore, along with others in Asia, often maintain real estate holdings across multiple countries as part of their long-term financial planning.

Educational access continues to be a primary driver for Singaporean buyers. Many families are acquiring properties near universities in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada to accommodate children studying abroad.

Over 30% of off-plan buyers in cities like Melbourne and Brisbane are Asia-Pacific families, including those from Singapore. These properties often serve dual purposes, later generating rental income or acting as secondary residences.

Currency hedging and capital diversification also feature prominently in investment decisions. Singaporean high-net-worth individuals are increasingly allocating funds to stable property markets denominated in stronger currencies such as the Euro and British Pound, helping to mitigate exposure to currency volatility and regional economic fluctuations, the fact sheet states.

In addition, short-term rental markets continue to attract interest. Popular destinations such as Bali, Phuket, and Pattaya offer attractive yields for holiday rentals, with Bali reporting rental yields as high as 15%, according to data from Juwai IQI Holdings.

Australia continues to appeal to family buyers due to access to quality education, lifestyle advantages, and transparent regulations.

Japan’s weakened yen, strong tourism sector, and freehold ownership opportunities make it attractive for investors. The UK draws professionals seeking stable returns in university cities, whilst Thailand’s proximity and digital nomad visa programs encourage purchases for holiday rental purposes.

New models such as co-investment and fractional ownership are also gaining popularity amongst younger Singaporean investors, who often collaborate with family members to manage high entry costs. Developers are responding with targeted incentives, including zero stamp duties, furnished units, and guaranteed returns, to further entice ASEAN buyers.
