    [SINGAPORE] The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has signalled a potential shift in Singapore’s investment landscape by seeking feedback for its proposed private market regulatory framework.

    The call for feedback stems from a growing demand from retail investors for private market investments, and interest from industry players to offer retail investors such products.

    After gathering feedback from the industry and investor community, the proposed long-term investment fund (LIF) framework could potentially provide retail investors with a safe and structured way to access private market investment funds.
