Value Unlock
Unlocking Shareholder Value in Singapore's Listed Companies
Value Unlock is a strategic initiative by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Singapore Exchange (SGX), to help listed companies realise their full potential and achieve fair market valuation. The programme encourages companies to diagnose the reasons for undervaluation, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement and communicate actionable strategies that create sustainable shareholder value. A strong and credible Investor Relations (IR) function is a core enabler of this journey.
SGListCos supports the Value Unlock initiative by offering practical IR training for listed companies under the Equip Grant.
How SGListCos Supports Value Unlock
SGListCos has been appointed to the panel of professional firms under the Equip Grant. The IR training courses are designed to strengthen issuer capabilities in market communication, stakeholder engagement and crisis preparedness - key building blocks for effective value creation and investor confidence.
Listed companies interested to boost IR capabilities can register for SGListCos' IR training courses.
SGListCos IR Courses
Developed based on insights from practising IROs and prioritised through direct polling SGListCos' IR training courses are created by experienced practitioners and active market participants to ensure practical insights and real-world relevance. Current courses cover key aspects of investor relations, while additional modules - focusing on valuation metrics, disclosure practices, and specialised topics such as activist investors and equity storytelling - are in development.
