MAS to launch two new funds worth $2b for co-investment

$1.5b is for Anchor Fund @ 65 and $500m for Growth IPO Fund.

Monetary Authority of Singapore Managing Director Ravi Menon revealed the launch of two funds for co-investment.

One of these will be done with Temasek Holdings to establish a $1.5b fund titled Anchor Fund @ 65, which will act as a cornerstone investor for starting companies.

The Economic Development Board, meanwhile, will create a Growth IPO fund, with a starting size of $500m to invest in growth-stage companies.

MAS has also focused on enhancing its Grant for Equity Market Scheme. One of the functions of this grant is to defeat the cost of listing on SGX by co-funding up to $2m of listing expenses, an improvement from the previous coverage of $1m. This will be improved to defray the listing costs of special purpose acquisition companies and real estate investment trusts.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
