Singapore Net Institutional Fund Inflows In 3Q22 Led by DBS & OCBC Bank


PUBLISHED ON |

04 October 2022

  • The STI’s 2.4% total return in 3Q22 was mainly driven by the trio of DBS, OCBC and UOB, which averaged a 7.3% total return over the quarter. During the quarter, the trio saw S$969 million of combined net institutional fund inflows with the inflows to DBS and OCBC more than offsetting the net outflows booked by UOB.

  • Globally, Banks stocks saw less than one-third of the declines of REITs, as the hawkish tone on US interest rates notched higher and the outlook for global growth weakened. This coincided with the S-REIT Sector seeing the most net institutional fund outflows of the Singapore sectors in 3Q22.

  • The Sectors that saw the next highest net institutional fund inflows in 3Q22 were Telecommunications and Consumer Cyclicals. This was mostly driven by SingTel, while StarHub also booked net institutional fund inflows. Consumer Cyclical stocks that saw the most net institutional fund inflows over the quarter included Genting Singapore, Jardine Cycle & Carriage and The Hour Glass.




Singapore’s 200 most traded stocks for the first 9 months of 2022, that are currently listed for trading span all major Sectors. Combined the 200 stocks make up approximately 80% of the total market capitalisation of all stocks listed on Singapore Exchange, in addition to more than 95% of the total trading turnover of all stocks listed in SGX over the past 9 months.

The STI’s 2.4% total return in 3Q22 was mainly driven by the trio of DBS (SGX:D05), OCBC Bank (SGX:O39) and UOB (SGX:U11), which averaged a 7.3% total return over the quarter. During the quarter, the trio saw S$969 million of combined net institutional fund inflows with the net institutional fund inflows to DBS and OCBC Bank more than offsetting the net institutional fund outflows booked by UOB.

For the 4Q22 ahead, local markets will be looking towards the MAS October Monetary Policy Statement and the 3Q22 earnings and business updates that will begin in earnest in mid-to-late October. The opening of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party on 16 October and FOMC meetings scheduled for 2 November and 14 December will also be significant international events. With governments looking to accelerate growth and decelerate inflation, the final sessions of 3Q22 also served a reminder that international financial stability risk can stem from fiscal origins.
