STI crosses 4,000 for first time in 3 years

Over this period, the index has delivered a total return of 40%, with a CAGR of 11.9%.

The Straits Times Index (STI) has crossed the 4,000 mark for the first time.

Over the past three years, the index has delivered a total return of 40%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%, outpacing the S&P 500’s 31% total return and 9.4% CAGR over the same period.

Investor access to the STI has also expanded, with two Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) launched since 2002. These ETFs now manage a combined $2.5b in assets.

The Singapore Exchange noted that the STI’s performance reflects the resilience and long-term growth of the local economy. Investors are encouraged to stay informed through the SGX’s comprehensive research and market updates available on its website.

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.
