S'pore investors most concerned about health care

POOR health in old age is the topmost concern among Singapore investors, followed by unaffordable healthcare costs, a survey by Manulife Financial has found.

The third biggest worry is the inability to maintain their current standard of living. The research is part of the Manulife Investor Sentiment Index survey for the first quarter.

While three-quarters of respondents considered themselves to be fairly healthy, they expect recurring long-term healthcare expenses to set in from around the age of 59.
