Depending on their mandate, these funds may invest in equities, fixed income, commodities, and alternatives. However, equities are the most common asset class, followed by fixed-income. They cover a wide range of stocks across all sectors of the market as well as market caps and share classes. Lastly, they can be passive (aka index funds) or actively managed. The Singaporean economy is very advanced, and sports the second-highest per capita GDP globally. Its economy is characterized by a highly educated population, a business-friendly regulatory climate, and a resistance to corruption. Key exports include machinery equipment, electronics and pharmaceuticals. As a developed market economy, investments in Singaporean mutual funds may be appropriate for conservative-minded investors. However, prospective investors should be aware that some funds do not hedge their currency risk, and changes in the value of the Singapore Dollar may have a significant impact on returns.
