Singapore Equity Programme 2025 Sets KPIs for Fund Managers

Singapore equity programme 2025 will evaluate fund managers under the SGD5bn (USD3.65bn) Equity Market Development Programme across at least three years, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong told parliament. Managers will be assessed on performance measured by returns, capital mobilisation and contributions to the equities ecosystem. Launched in July by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the initiative aims to strengthen fund management and boost investor interest in Singapore-listed equities, especially quality small- and mid-cap firms. Managers will also be benchmarked against equity indices and assessed on developmental commitments such as expanding local operations, building research capabilities, and supporting talent growth. A second batch of managers will be appointed by year-end to further diversify capital markets.
