Fund manager sued by MAS fails to overturn ruling

Tan Chong Koay and Pheim Asset Management Sdn have no other choice but pay $207,000 each.

A Bloomberg report said, “The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which sued Tan and his asset manager Pheim, said the fund manager intended to create a “false and misleading appearance” in the city’s stock market by buying shares of United Envirotech Ltd. in the last three trading days of 2004.”

The report added that MAS, which has tightened the rules for financial misconduct after the global credit crisis in 2008, has said it won’t tolerate “window dressing”.

The case is Singapore’s first civil lawsuit for market manipulation.

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.
