SINGAPORE investors are an overly-optimistic lot, with the millennials here particularly more bullish and confident of their investment returns, a survey has found.
The average investor in the city-state expects a 9.2 per cent minimum return on their investments per year, according to the Schroders Global Investor Survey 2016. This is a stark contrast to the average stockmarket yield of only 3.8 per cent.
This over-optimism is more pronounced among millennials, who expect a 9.6 per cent return on their investment per year compared to 8.9 per cent for investors aged 36 and over.
"Singapore investors are overly optimistic about income returns," said Schroders on Wednesday.

Wait!
ReplyDeleteI thought its 8% "average" yield for stock markets?
I want to verify Schroders' claim it's 3.8%!
Quick! Those who "lelong" passive indexing, I'm waiting for you to fire back vigorously.
Silent would mean acquiescence.
Like that, might as well put money in CPF's Special Account?
I'm a millennial........but I expect around 5% return per year (which I'll be very satisfied liao). Maybe I'm unintelligent or maybe my peers are too optimistic.....
ReplyDelete5% is realistic and achievable
DeleteHi Temperament. Thanks for the advice. I will heed it. Btw, do you have a blog? Newbies like myself need to learn from your experience. I've been following your postings on valuebuddies.
