Singapore Draws 1,600 Millionaires as Geopolitical Risks Reshape Cross-Border Wealth Strategies

Summary
Singapore is cementing its role as a wealth haven, with the Henley private wealth migration report 2025 projecting 1,600 new millionaires and advisors seeing sustained inflows from Asia and beyond.
Nearly two-thirds of new cross-border wealth inflows through 2029 are expected to go to Switzerland, Hong Kong and Singapore, as geopolitical uncertainty, diversification needs and the Iran war's ripple effects push clients toward safer booking centers.
Wealth managers say client priorities are shifting toward capital preservation, liquidity and succession planning, with growing use of trusts, variable capital companies and family-office structures that can work across jurisdictions and generations.
That demand is also changing service models, favoring multi-family offices and integrated advisory platforms that combine global investment access, regulatory coordination and human guidance during market volatility.
Singapore's appeal increasingly rests less on tax than on jurisdictional safety, rule of law, political neutrality and stability for globally mobile families managing assets across multiple countries.
