HSBC: High-Net-Worth Investors in Singapore and Malaysia Maintain Crypto Allocations at 5-6% as Funds Shift to Gold and Deposits on July 28

According to HSBC's Affluent Investor Snapshot 2026 report released on July 28, high-net-worth investors in Singapore and Malaysia maintain stable crypto asset allocations at 5% and 6% respectively, down from global average of 6% versus 7% in 2025, with no signs of significant exit.

Investors in both markets are redirecting funds toward gold, fixed deposits, and alternative investments over the next 12 months. Singapore investors prioritize fixed deposits, alternative assets, and gold, while Malaysian investors show stronger preference for gold as the top planned allocation increase, signaling a strategic shift from high-risk growth assets to satellite positions within diversified portfolios.
