Investors seek 8.2% returns but raise cash holdings: survey

Singapore

SINGAPORE investors expect average investment returns of 8.2 per cent in 2015, but they risk disappointment as they continue to hold high levels of cash, a survey by Manulife has found.

Although investors expect equities to be the top performing asset class, they also say they will "invest" more in cash than in any other asset in the next six months. The findings are part of the latest Manulife Investor Sentiment Index.
