Will the Singapore stock market continue to outperform?

[SINGAPORE] Last year, Singapore was one of the best performing markets globally with the Straits Times Index (STI) hitting record highs. How much more upside is there, and can it continue to outperform its regional peers?

This year, the index has underperformed some markets such as South Korea, China and Hong Kong, but it remains one of the best performers.

Many forget that the STI’s outperformance follows a sustained period of underperformance. Many other markets are also at historic highs. The question may not be whether to invest or not. Instead, how much of our portfolio should be invested in our home market?
