How Singapore’s Equity Market Reforms are Changing the Investment Landscape
Can new initiatives reignite the Singapore equity market?
Singapore’s equity market has faced years of declining listings, tepid investor interest, and limited liquidity beyond the index heavyweights. The market is also among the most concentrated in Asia. Against this backdrop, policymakers are rolling out an unprecedented wave of policy reforms to revitalize the equity landscape.
In this report, we explore the implications of initiatives like the Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP) and SGX-Nasdaq Listing Board, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors driving the resurgence of Singapore’s equity market, progress made thus far, and potential benefits and challenges that lie ahead. The report draws on the Morningstar Manager Research Team’s deep coverage of the asset class and unparalleled access to Singapore equity fund managers to explore how portfolios are being positioned in response to these initiatives and help investors evaluate the growing investment opportunities within the asset class.
