SmartKarma launches Singapore Value-Up indices

This aligns with MAS and SGX governance initiatives.

Global investment intelligence platform Smartkarma has launched Smartkarma Indices, a new suite of model portfolios and thematic baskets designed to turn research-driven investment insights into actionable and investible products.

Unlike traditional passive benchmarks, these indices feature high active share and built-in risk management, targeting superior risk-adjusted returns.

The first in the series, the Singapore Value-Up Indices (SG VUP), focuses on undervalued SGX-listed companies undergoing strategic transformation, restructurings, spin-offs, capital recycling, and thematic pivots, unlocking latent value while reflecting growing global interest in governance, transparency, and long-term shareholder value creation.

The launch aligns with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s market reforms and SGX’s push for stronger corporate governance.

The key features of the Smartkarma Indices are their thematic focus, tracking both enduring and emerging investment narratives; active risk management, with high active share and integrated risk controls; and a data-driven approach, built on proprietary analytics and quantitative research to provide reliable, actionable investment insights.
