    [SINGAPORE] The Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) proposals to strengthen product highlights sheet (PHS) requirements and streamline the framework for complex products signal a major shift in the local investment landscape, say market observers.

    The move is seen as a response to industry feedback, aiming to reduce complexity and broaden retail investor access to a wider range of financial products.

    MAS launched a public consultation on Tuesday (Jul 1) and is seeking feedback until Sep 1.
