ACGA features in The Straits Times : Fund managers tapping MAS’ $5b boost for markets should step up to promote good corporate governance

ACGA was quoted in The Straits Times article titled “Fund managers tapping MAS’ $5b boost for markets should step up to promote good corporate governance” published on 21 April 2025. 

ACGA’s CG Watch 2023 report highlighted how retail investors have been more active than institutional investors in promoting corporate governance standards in Singapore, as well as ongoing weaknesses in board governance reporting among issuers.

"The Asian Corporate Governance Association’s (ACGA’s) Corporate Governance (CG) 2023 Watch for Asean titled Spectrum Of Standards: Regulators Set The Tone On CG Progress’ that was issued in June 2024 noted that it was retail investors which continued to uplift CG standards in Singapore, “in contrast to their institutional peers who remain a more muted bunch’’.

“Retail shareholders are more visible at AGMs and in their voting, with participation generally higher across the board, thanks to organised efforts,” noted ACGA.”
