Amid global market volatility, young investors in Singapore are increasingly turning to local equities as a “safe harbour,” attracted by their relative stability, strong governance, and consistent dividend yields compared to riskier overseas markets. While some still view Singapore stocks as less exciting, the uncertainty caused by geopolitical tensions has shifted perceptions, with more youths recognising their defensive value in turbulent times. Exposure often comes through school programmes and investing competitions, including those involving students from institutions like NP and SP, which help build financial literacy and interest in investing among younger generations.
