Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2021 -- According to recent data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, strong gains made by private equity funds have made a significant contribution to a 17% rise in assets managed in Singapore over the past year. In 2020 the value of assets under management in Singapore rose to S$4.7 trillion. Valuation gains and net inflows both had a part to play in the growth that has been achieved between 2020 and 2021. Private equity and venture capital together saw a significant spike with a rise of 54%, compared to the 16% that was experienced in 2019. The data reveals that Southeast Asian countries are still a key destination for investment and remain resolutely popular. In fact, this part of the region accounts for a third of the overall investments made in Asia Pacific. It wasn't good news for all sectors though as real estate experienced a drop of more than 50%.
