Happy Birthday, Singapore! August is a good month to look closer to home. The timing helps too. The Singapore market has come alive over the past one to two years, and the S$6.5 billion committed under the Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP), the MAS initiative channelling money into local stocks, has yet to be fully deployed. And it is not only Singapore’s birthday. Lion Global Investors, a reputable local asset manager and an OCBC Company, turns 40 this August as well. What better way to invest in the Singapore market than with a home-grown firm. Forty years of local expertise shows up in the product shelf. Lion Global Investors runs a full spectrum of Singapore-focused funds, covering bonds and equities, from small caps to blue-chip opportunities, as well as commodities and ETFs. Our job here is to break them down by what they pay, what they risk and what role they play, so you can build the mix that suits you....
