Nearly seven in 10 investors use AI to research and analyse (69%), for strategy support (44%), and to stress-test their own ideas (34%).<\/p>\n<p>Nearly eight in 10 (79%) bring those findings to a professional advisor for reassurance, whilst 71% bring them for strategic expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Only 8% of Singapore investors say AI was the single most influential source in their last major investment decision, against 12% globally. And whilst 43% say AI has increased their appetite for taking calculated risks, that figure sits below the 49% global average, consistent with Singapore&#8217;s positioning as a more measured market alongside the US (44%), UK (39%) and Taiwan (43%).<\/p>\n<p>Generationally, Singaporean Gen X <a href=\"https:\/\/sbr.com.sg\/economy\/in-focus\/retail-investors-bet-ai-chips-electronics-exports-near-double\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">investors<\/a> report AI use in finance at 72%, against a global equivalent of 65%. Amongst Baby Boomers, the gap is wider: 72% in Singapore versus 59% globally. The report said it shows that AI engagement in Singapore is not concentrated amongst younger investors but cuts across age groups in a way that distinguishes the country from most of the other nine markets surveyed.<\/p>\n<p>Four in ten Singapore investors (40%) say their ideal approach is hybrid, with 57% preferring AI and advisers working together, above the global figure (50%).<\/p>\n<p>That preference holds across generations: 45% of Singapore Gen Z investors favour the sequence for generating new investment ideas, ahead of their global peers at 38%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new data tells us is that Singapore&#8217;s investors are using AI in their financial decision-making with discipline. They are doing more of their own analysis, arriving at conversations better prepared, and expecting more of the professional advisers who help them as a result. That is not a challenge to the adviser relationship model; it is setting a higher bar for what good advice looks like,\u201d Ashmita Acharya, Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking, HSBC Singapore said.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst high-net-worth investors (or those with $2m or more in investable assets), AI adoption reaches nine in ten (90%), compared with 82% globally. Singapore&#8217;s wealthiest respondents attribute an average 40% of their investment returns over the past 12 months to AI influence, above the 31% average across all Singapore investors surveyed.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, two-thirds (65%) say AI makes them feel more in control. These are clients who are already measuring AI&#8217;s contribution to their portfolio performance; what they are looking for from their bank is a relationship that matches their level of sophistication.<\/p>\n<p>HSBC\u2019s new survey included 9,993 mass affluent and high-net-worth investors across ten markets. The Singapore dataset comprised 609 respondents, surveyed between January and February 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sbr.com.sg\/markets-investing\/in-focus\/nearly-8-in-10-investors-use-ai-research-dont-fully-trust-its-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most end up asking a financial advisor to validate AI insights.
