September has been a record-breaking month for global markets, with the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ hitting all-time highs. Asian equities have also soared, led by KOSPI and Hang Seng gains, as investors shift from fixed income to equities in search of higher returns. In Singapore, initiatives like the Equity Market Development Programme and new rules for single-family offices are strengthening the local market, while a strong IPO pipeline promises more opportunities ahead.

Lee Kian Soon, CEO of Astral Asset Management unpacks what these developments mean for investors and what to watch in the final quarter of 2025, from China’s 15th Five-Year Plan to the next Fed decision.
