新加坡：新加坡金融管理局（MAS）于周二（9月29日）根据“股票市场发展计划”（Equity Market Development Programme, EQDP）任命了五家新的资产管理机构，以支持新加坡的股票市场。
SINGAPORE: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Tuesday (Sep 29) appointed five new asset managers under the Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP) to support Singapore's equities market.
这是该计划下第三批被任命的资产管理机构；该计划的总投资额为65亿新加坡元（约合50.8亿美元），旨在加强本地的资产管理与研究体系，并吸引更多投资者参与新加坡股市。
This is the third batch of asset managers appointed under the S$6.5 billion (US$5.08 billion) programme which aims to strengthen the local asset management and research ecosystem and attract more investors to the local stock market.
MAS将向这五家资产管理机构（Amundi、Franklin Templeton、HSBC Asset Management、M&G Investments和Natixis Investment Managers）共计投入14.5亿新加坡元。
MAS will place S$1.45 billion with the five new asset managers: Amundi, Franklin Templeton, HSBC Asset Management, M&G Investments and Natixis Investment Managers. This will bring the programme's total allocation to S$5.4 billion across 14 asset managers.
MAS表示：“这些机构将利用其全球分销网络，引入寻求投资新加坡及该地区市场的国际资本，从而扩大投资者对新加坡股市的参与度。”
They "will draw on their global distribution networks to bring in new sources of international capital seeking exposure to Singapore and the region, which helps broaden investor participation in Singapore’s equities market", said MAS.
MAS还透露，目前正在审查第四批资产管理机构的申请，并预计将在2027年完成审查工作。该计划自2025年2月启动以来，其投资总额已从50亿新加坡元增加至65亿新加坡元。
It added that it is reviewing proposals for a fourth batch of asset managers and expects to complete the review in 2027. Launched in February 2025, the programme has since been expanded from S$5 billion to S$6.5 billion.
在周二举行的SuperReturn Asia会议上宣布这一任命时，国家发展部长Chee Hong Tat表示：“这些新任命的资产管理机构将进一步提升新加坡的投资能力，并有助于创造更多高质量就业机会。”
Announcing the third batch of asset managers at the SuperReturn Asia Conference on Tuesday, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat said that they will "further deepen investment capabilities and support the creation of quality jobs in Singapore".
Chee Hong Tat同时兼任MAS副主席，他补充道：“这些机构在区域市场拥有丰富的经验，他们承诺将继续将新加坡作为其投资策略的重要组成部分；他们带来的全球分销网络、资金来源及专业技能，将进一步提升新加坡公共市场的深度与活力。”
"The managers have strong track records in regional markets and they are committed to continue making significant allocations to Singapore as an integral part of their investment strategies. They bring with them global distribution networks, sources of capital, and expertise that strengthen the depth and dynamism of our public markets," added Mr Chee, who is also MAS deputy chairman.
新加坡中央银行还从金融业发展基金中拨出2000万新元，用于新加坡股票市场赠款计划（GEMS），旨在提升新加坡上市股票的交易流动性。
Singapore's central bank also committed S$20 million from the Financial Sector Development Fund to the Grant for Equity Market Singapore (GEMS) scheme, which is aimed at boosting the trading liquidity of Singapore-listed stocks.
该赠款将支持获委任的做市商，为首批约80只合资格的中小型股票以及新上市股票提供交易流动性，期限至2028年12月31日。
The grant will support appointed market makers providing trading liquidity for an initial group of around 80 eligible small- and mid-cap stocks, as well as newly-listed stocks until Dec 31, 2028.
金管局表示，这些举措是股票市场检讨小组为加强本地股票市场竞争力而持续努力的一部分。
These initiatives are part of the Equities Market Review Group's ongoing efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of the local equities market, said MAS.
徐先生补充道：“这些努力将共同深化机构和散户对新加坡股票的参与，使我们的公开市场成为更广泛资本生态系统中上市、融资和退出的更有效目的地。”
"Together, these efforts will deepen institutional and retail participation in Singapore equities, making our public markets a more effective destination for listings, financing, and exits within the broader capital ecosystem," added Mr Chee.
