New activist hedge fund plans to shake up Singapore’s corporate landscape

What could it be up to?

Singapore-based companies have something new to look out for.

Bloomberg reports that a new activist hedge fund is coming to town, and the founder Roland Thng is seeking to shake up Singapore’s staid corporate landscape by focusing on how locally listed companies are run.

Thng, 33, has established EVA Capital SP with $5 million, and initially plans to take stakes in small-and medium-sized construction and engineering companies in order to pressure them to improve performance.

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.
