Without a doubt, the answer is 1. No charity work here in SGX. Even GIC and Temasick also is the 1 category.

Just what is the mandate for the recipients of the EQDP funds?  Is the objective to: (1) Produce a nice returns for MAS? (2) Or is it to stir up a totally dead stock market in SGX? (3) others If answer is (1), then you can expect those funds to sit around and (worse still) press down stock prices in order to collect cheap, so buy low, sell high If answer is (2), then Buy High, sell Higher! Looking at the lack of activity, I believe most of those EQDP funds think the answer is (1), as all fund managers are automatically expected to produce a nice returns for the " investors" . Is MAS objective aligned with that of an " investor" , or as a saviour for the moribund, and like a joke, stock market in SGX? If these mandates are not spelt out clearly, and have investors believe in them, the market will continue to lie dead.   |

Good observation and well said. MAS/Chee Hong Tat/SGX thought this is just a  $5B problem. Do they truly understand the real issues/problem with our SGX? . As long as our GIC and Temasek are not involved, then difficult to work. Fund managers and investment banks also have mandate to get returns for their shareholders, so do not expect them to bring up local MCPs. Looks like back to square one again, after waiting for a year for action.  Alot of talks though.

This EMDP initiative is turning out to be a dud. There is zero excitement with the launch of second tranche. And FRONT RUNNING is not visible.  The second tranche is really lame, offered to AMOVA, Eastspring and Blackrock etc. You know what stocks they invest in. They wont touch the stocks that are shunned by Insurance and big funds. So small caps can go back to sleep. If those small caps dont already have trading liquidity, they wont touch to generate liquidity. This is too much risk and heavy lifting to their liking. They will go hug the favorite names. And so things will remain the same with the small and mid caps. So the original purpose of the EMDP program is totally defeated. Well done EMDP, you wasted a golden opportunity to stir some excitment and animal spirits into the moribund SIngapore stock market. SGX will simply go back to a Index Bull Run, where only the bank stocks will benefit. Now SGX can start boasting about the performance of the Singapore stock index again. |

Just seeking views on  MAS Equity market development programme. Is it effective and will it drive up our local Mid and Small cap (MSC) stocks? So far the pre-announcement sparked some interest and did drove the market up a liitle. The first tranche of $5 B fund generated some excitment and cause some MSC stock to record hihg level. But excitement/novelty died down. The latest announcement and release of more fund hardly moved the market - perhaps it did...downwards. So is the EMDP helping our local MSC stocks at all? Your views? |
