SGListCos, an association for companies listed on both the mainboard and Catalist of the Singapore Exchange, has been formed.
As described in its LinkedIn post, SGListCos describes itself as a body “set up by listcos for listcos”.
The association’s pro-tem chairman is Chew Sutat, who was recently the SGX’s senior managing director and head of global sales and origination.
It aims to support the community in three areas seen to be critical to their long-term growth and success: thought leadership and advocacy, ESG ecosystem, and last but not least, corporate access and investor relations.
The association’s founding member companies include components of the STI such as Capitaland Investment; Jardine Cycle & Carriage; Keppel Corp; OCBC; SATS; Singtel and UOB.
There are also large and mid-cap stocks such as Cromwell REIT; iFast Corp; Japfa; Nanofilm Technologies International and Olam International.
