Every other asset on this list must be bought with 100% of your own cash. If you invest S$300K in gold, you own S$300K of gold. If you invest S$300K in a Singapore condo at 75% LTV, you own S$1.2M of real estate. The 4× leverage multiplier is the entire reason Singapore property has been the primary wealth-building vehicle for Singapore households for 25 years. On a pure capital return %, property rarely wins. On a return-on-equity basis with rental income included, it frequently does — especially if you enter in the right year. Use the Historical Returns tab, toggle on leverage, and change the entry year to see exactly when property beats everything else.
