SmartKarma launches Singapore Value-Up indices

This aligns with MAS and SGX governance initiatives.

Global investment intelligence platform Smartkarma has launched Smartkarma Indices, a new suite of model portfolios and thematic baskets designed to turn research-driven investment insights into actionable and investible products.

Unlike traditional passive benchmarks, these indices feature high active share and built-in risk management, targeting superior risk-adjusted returns.

The first in the series, the Singapore Value-Up Indices (SG VUP), focuses on undervalued SGX-listed companies undergoing strategic transformation, restructurings, spin-offs, capital recycling, and thematic pivots, unlocking latent value while reflecting growing global interest in governance, transparency, and long-term shareholder value creation.

The launch aligns with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s market reforms and SGX’s push for stronger corporate governance.

The key features of the Smartkarma Indices are their thematic focus, tracking both enduring and emerging investment narratives; active risk management, with high active share and integrated risk controls; and a data-driven approach, built on proprietary analytics and quantitative research to provide reliable, actionable investment insights.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
