Its 30 constituents averaged a total return of -9.6%.

The Straits Times Index (STI) generated a total return of -7.4% for investors in the 2018 year-to-date, an update from Singapore Exchange (SGX) revealed.

The 30 constituents of the Index, which have a combined market capitalisation of over $500b, averaged a total return of -9.6% in the 2018 year-to-date. This brings their 12-month returns to -8.8% and three-year total returns to +12.9%.

Total YTD returns for individual firms ranged from -36.3% for palm oil company Golden Agri-Resources to 15.1% for Hong Kong retail company Dairy Farm International.

Singapore Press Holdings began the September quarter earnings reporting season on 15 October and other STI constituents will be following suit in the following weeks. Keppel Corp is expected to release their Q3 earnings on 18 October while Singapore Exchange will unveil its results on 19 October.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
