Think about the JP Morgan fund. The govt is paying a US bank a lot of money to invest mostly in non-SIngaporean stocks or large cap Singaporean stocks that don' t need the money. Something is wrong here, and the money is not going where it is most needed in fact a lot of it is leaking overseas.
The govt should be doing two things in parallel to make SGX a better place to invest. First is direct the EQDP funds more appropriately. Second is put pressure on those companies trading at below book value to improve capital structure and governance. China, Japan and Korea have all taken big steps in this direction, compared to which SIngapore is a laggard.

Some good comments made on EQDP in the forum.

It is just telling us to forget about the small and mid caps. The big ones are where the money go... So just follow the money lor...

Still the same old story...
SGX turnover rises - driven by index stocks, and Reits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The EDMP is supposed to focus on promising mid and small cap listed on SGX - what happened?
$5B went into STI Component stocks?

Singapore equities gain traction into 2026
09 Dec 2025 15:11
Initiatives in 2025 have strengthened market performance
By Adeline Gao
THE Straits Times Index (STI) extended its record-breaking rally into the second half of 2025, lifting its price return for 11 months of the year to 19.4 per cent. This surpasses the 15.4 per cent gain over the same period in 2024, underscoring the market' s resilient fundamentals and the renewed investor interest in Singapore equities.
Already said many people are buying SGX shares for dividends hence not many people trading in and out. Want fast profit just buy US stocks. The rest can just earn good tax free dividends why need the price fluctuate so much?

SGX share price has gone up a lot this year, pricing in a Game Changer with the launch of EQDP.
However, right now, the EQDP looks like heading for failure, with dwindling liquidity beyond the initial euphoria. Would SGX share price crash back to earth?

Time for Chee Hong Tat and MAS to declare it a failure? Or we need many many rounds of $5 billion injections. The first $5 billion is only a starter.

Today only about 1.1 billion shares traded. Dollar value also only slightly above $1 billion .
This is way too low for global investors to take SGX seriously.

Good what. SGX less volatile is good for people looking for dividend. Just dump one lump sum in and collect dividend without worrying about price suddenly crash or shoot up. Want to gamble can always do it at night when US market open.

Any omore wise ideas or views of our pathetic mid and small cap (MSC) stocls?
Even promisiing IPOs also sliding.
How to attract investors to our almost dead market?
Only action in SGX are handful of gambling traders playing the few usual penny stocks.
So sad.

Singapore market is good for collecting dividends. Price don?t fluctuate so much and good for people with large some of money to invest for dividends. Many rich people are in SG stock market solely for the dividends.

No amount of ah gong money can prop up the market if international funds don' t come in. The EQDP is the first initiative.
Start first by not bashing our own market. If you are some international fund managers, would you invest in a country or market when their own citizens are not even interested???
There are gems to be uncovered in SGX too and our tax regime is friendly, gov is stable and won' t prata their rules. At least your divvy won' t get taxed away by ah gong 30% for doing nothing. While our market is not exciting as the DOW or NASQAQ, nobody says we cannot be the equivalent for Asia or at least Asean. Let' s have our Asean500 soon!!!

But these 2 are very high brow leh. How can they touch the lowly small and mid caps? Our local small and mid caps stocks are too " hanky panky" for them lah.

Can persuade GIC and Temasek to be players to save our pathetic SGX???

We need PLAYERS !
Thats the problem. This is so lame. There are enough type (1) funds around. For a change, give to the sell side like Brokers/Dealers and Chng Kays type, and there will be lots of excitement (if I dare mention Soh Chee Wen type, I will be whacked hard !)
