MAS seeks feedback on product disclosure, complex product rules

MAS states its proposals aim to strengthen disclosure effectiveness.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is seeking feedback on enhancing Product Highlights Sheets and simplifying complex product rules.

The Proposed Product Highlights Sheet (PHS) enhancements include requiring financial institutions to provide investors with a PHS for shares, bonds, and units in a Collective Investment Scheme.

Additionally, MAS proposes revised PHS templates to help users better understand key product information.

Complex products will also be indicated with a red label to alert investors of the need to seek advice as appropriate.

For complex products, the distributor must assess a retail investor’s educational, work, and investment experience.

MAS states its proposals aim to strengthen disclosure effectiveness so investors can make informed choices, whilst still providing appropriate support for consumers.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
