SGX RegCo sets due diligence and independence standards for issue managers

It will refer to the ABS Listings Due Diligence Guidelines in evaluating IMs.

The Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) is setting out standards of due diligence and independence for issue managers (IMs) during the review of the Mainboard Listing Rules, according to an announcement.

SGX RegCo will refer to the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) Listings Due Diligence Guidelines in assessing whether an IM is conducting enough due diligence required.

The regulator will also introduce a practice note that will establish the criteria in assessing the independence of issue managers (IMs).

Further, SGX RegCo will explicitly require all directors and executive officers of a listing applicant to be held responsible for ensuring information submitted to SGX in listing applications and SGXNET announcements is complete and accurate, and not misleading.

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.
