Singapore is about to open a new gateway for capital markets with the SGX‑Nasdaq dual-listing bridge, set for mid-2026. This pioneering initiative allows companies to tap both U.S. and Singapore investors simultaneously, offering a potential boost to liquidity, valuation, and investor access.
James Leong, CEO of Grasshopper Asia, unpacks what the bridge could mean for Singapore’s equities market: which sectors are likely to benefit, how dual listings may influence global investor participation, and the role of sovereign wealth funds. We also explore the potential impact on price discovery, volatility, and retail investor access, and whether this marks a turning point in Singapore’s quest to reclaim its position as a hub for growth companies.
