Moomoo Singapore Investor Sentiment Survey: Singapore Stocks Shine as Beacon of Confidence
SINGAPORE, June 24, 2025 /CNW/ -- Singapore stocks remain the strategic foundation of retail portfolios, data from Moomoo Singapore's 2H2025 Retail Investor Sentiment Survey shows. Over 7 in 10 investors in Singapore consider Singapore stocks an integral part of their investment portfolios, saying they intend to either maintain or increase their exposure to local stocks in the coming months.
The survey, conducted in April 2025 with nearly 1,500 respondents across a broad cross-section of Singapore's retail investor base, captures a comprehensive view of how investors in Singapore — from first-year investors to those with more than a decade of experience to those whose portfolios exceed S$1 million.— are adjusting their strategies in response to persistent macroeconomic headwinds, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical volatility.
"The survey findings show that Singapore's stock market continues to be a pillar of stability for local investors, showcasing the enduring confidence in the country's macroeconomic fundamentals, policy environment, and market resilience," says Gavin Chia, CEO of Moomoo Singapore.
"We are also seeing this trend play out among our clients, where we are seeing higher and sustained trading volume in Singapore stocks," he added.
Singapore Investors Lean on Local Markets for Stability While Eyeing Global Rotations for Upside
The strongest home bias is observed among conservative investors, who are focused on wealth preservation over aggressive growth. "For many investors, Singapore's market continues to serve as a defensive anchor — a safe haven in the midst of global uncertainty. Rather than aggressively pursuing high-risk opportunities, these investors are prioritising capital preservation and seeking consistent, stable income streams. It's a mindset shaped by caution, but also by confidence in the fundamentals and resilience of the Singapore economy," Chia added.
Meanwhile, higher-risk investors are showing greater appetite for rotation into markets perceived as undervalued or positioned for policy-driven rebounds. 4 in 10 investors are actively shifting exposure to regions such as Hong Kong, where they believe there is greater near-term upside potential, according to the survey findings.
While investors remain sanguine on the Singapore market, broader investor sentiment across global markets remains cautious. Just 30% of respondents in the survey expressed optimism regarding the global market outlook for the second half of 2025, with the majority bracing themselves for more volatility in the months ahead.
This divergence reinforces a growing pattern: conservative investors are more inclined to shift their portfolios toward defensive sectors or reduce equity exposure altogether, putting renewed emphasis on diversification and prudence over aggressive positioning. On the other hand, risk-tolerant individuals are leaning into volatility as a potential source of returns.
AI Finds Its Strongest Champions Among Affluent Investors
The rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping how retail investors approach the market. More than 70% of affluent investors with portfolios above S$200,000 now use AI tools to manage various aspects of their portfolios — from market scanning and alerting, to portfolio rebalancing and risk monitoring. Among high-net-worth investors with portfolios over S$1 million, half say they trust AI-generated recommendations, nearly double the proportion seen among lower-tier investors.
High-net-worth individuals are also more decisive and frequent users of these tools. They show greater confidence in using AI to support execution, automate repetitive tasks, and sharpen decision-making. At the same time, more conservative investors are adopting AI in a more limited capacity — mainly for features like summarised news, market updates, and alerts that enhance, rather than replace, human judgment.
"Retail investors are adapting quickly, leveraging technology, and taking a more proactive role in how they manage their portfolios," said Gavin Chia, CEO of Moomoo Singapore. "They're rethinking what resilience looks like in a world of constant change — and at Moomoo, our role is to support that shift with actionable insights, educational tools, and a platform that keeps them ahead of the curve."

Air Canada completes $500 million substantial issuer bid, acting on its commitment to balanced long-term capital allocation Français
MONTRÉAL, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada (TSX: AC) has taken up and paid for 26,595,744 of its Class A Variable Voting Shares and Class B Voting Shares (collectively, the " shares") at a price of $18.80 per share under its $500 million substantial issuer bid (the " Offer") to purchase shares for cancellation. The successful completion of the Offer by Air Canada is an additional step towards its goal of reducing its fully diluted number of shares below 300 million by 2028, creating value for shareholders while investing in growth through a balanced long-term capital allocation strategy. The shares bought under the Offer, representing about 8.24% of the total number thereof, were acquired for about $500 million. After the Offer, about 296.1 million shares are expected to remain issued and outstanding. Other information about the Offer A total of about 26.8 million shares were validly deposited in the Offer and not withdrawn pursuant to auction tenders at or below $18.80 or purchase price tenders. As the Offer was oversubscribed, about 99.14% of the successfully tendered shares were purchased by Air Canada, other than "odd lot" tenders not subject to proration. Payment and settlement of the purchased shares will be made on or before June 27, 2025 in accordance with the Offer and applicable law. Any shares that are not purchased, including as a result of proration or auction tenders at more than $18.80, will be returned to shareholders as soon as practicable. Air Canada estimates that for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the " ITA") the paid-up capital per share is about $10.59. Shareholders who have sold shares to Air Canada under the Offer will as a result be deemed to have received a dividend equal to $8.21 per share, the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the paid-up capital per share for Canadian federal income tax purposes. The dividend deemed to have been paid by Air Canada to Canadian resident persons is designated as an "eligible dividend" for purposes of the ITA and any corresponding provincial and territorial tax legislation. The "specified amount" for purposes of subsection 191(4) of the ITA is $8.21. Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of the disposition of their shares under the Offer. The full details of the Offer were described in the offer to purchase and issuer bid circular dated May 16, 2025, as well as the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, copies of which were filed and are available under Air Canada's profile on SEDAR+ at This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Air Canada's shares.
