More listed firms mull secondary overseas listings on back of persistent SGX weakness

Companies who stay local are in for a tough year.

More listed companies may turn to overseas bourses in search of funds, as the SGX continues to lag its peers in terms of capital raising.

According to a report by the Small and Middle Capitalisation Companies Association, the SGX’s weakness will urge listed companies to naturally seek out overseas stock exchanges with greater trading liquidity and investor interest.

The report also stated that listed firms with substantial international exposure will do better than their peers who have decided to stay local.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
