Establishment in Singapore
As Singapore continues to solidify its position as a premier funds centre, SFIG plays a critical role in coordinating efforts of MAS and private sector stakeholders to continue to drive sustainable development and growth of the Singapore funds industry.
About Singapore Funds
To enhance Singapore’s value proposition as an asset management and funds domiciliation hub, MAS partnered with industry stakeholders within the funds ecosystem to establish the Singapore Funds Industry Group (“SFIG”). SFIG has brought together all the key players across the entire asset management value chain, including not just fund managers but also service providers such as lawyers, tax advisors, fund administrators and directors. SFIG has focused on identifying emerging industry trends and formulating strategies to develop the asset management ecosystem.
