Singapore's stock market is evolving - what do investors need to know about the upcoming changes?

As Singapore launches sweeping reforms - including the Equity Market Development Programme and the upcoming SGX-Nasdaq Global Listing Board - investors are being promised broader opportunities beyond the market's dominant banks and REITs.

Michelle Martin speaks with Hunter Beaudoin, Analyst, Manager Research at Morningstar, about whether these reforms are fundamentally changing Singapore's investment landscape.

The conversation also explores liquidity risks, the active versus passive debate, and practical ways investors can build exposure to Singapore equities as the market enters a new phase.

Money and Me: Singapore's Market Makeover - Where Are the Real Opportunities?  

ST Engineering and CapitaLand Investment deliver stronger earnings - but which has the more compelling growth story from here?

Michelle Martin breaks down the numbers and what investors should be watching next.

Why did Cisco fall despite beating expectations?

What does Bank of America’s US$1.9 billion Jio Credit deal say about its ambitions in India?

Why are SK Hynix and Samsung in focus amid reports of Temasek investment plans?

And what does a US$12.5 billion Lakers valuation tell us about the value of elite sports franchises?

Plus, Digital Core REIT, NTT DC REIT and Food Empire enter the local spotlight; and Google’s latest Pixel phones raise a bigger question - is AI really enough to make us upgrade our smartphones?

What would make you put work and routine on hold, take your three young children out into the world, and spend a year travelling together?

Daniel Ng and Gina Cheong, co-founders of Aww Media, decided there might never be a better time. With a budget of around S$150,000, their family of five embarked on a year-long adventure around the world.

Michelle Martin catches up with them from Colombia to find out what the Instagram pictures don't show: illnesses and injuries, travelling with three children when plans fall apart, managing money for a year on the road, and what constant time together has revealed about their family.

Has the experience changed how they think about money, work, comfort and what makes a life well lived? And what do they hope their children will remember when the year is over?

Should S-REIT managers tell investors more about what lies ahead?

Michelle Martin speaks with Kenny Loh, REIT Specialist and Wealth Advisory Director, about the push for stronger forward guidance from Singapore REITs and whether greater transparency could lead to better investment decisions.

What would constitute meaningful guidance?

What are investors currently hearing  from investor-relations teams?

Could more guidance improve management accountability, or encourage short-term decision-making simply to hit a number?

And should REITs that communicate more transparently ultimately command higher valuations?
