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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
