Singapore Forum
The Singapore Forum, also known as Singapore Economic Forum (SEF), was re-established in 2020 [1] as a high-level Asia Pacific plus G12 nations annual event held in Singapore – typically in the last week of February (date may vary in accordance with Chinese New Year).
The forum brings together policy makers, Ivy League academics and S&P Global 100 executives for up to three days to discuss the key financial, geo-economic and social issues that will define the "Asian Century": notably the growing convergence of economic and social growth dynamics in light of the Sustainable Development Goals and the way long-term asset owners such as pension funds and sovereign wealth institutions are "shifting the trillions" towards the region's asset classes — including, listed equity, private equity, venture capital and infrastructure assets.[2] [3]
The event is organized by the APAC Leadership Council, an Anglo-Singaporean corporation, in association with global, regional & national asset owners' associations, think-tanks, policy research centres and family offices[4]
The 'Asset Owner of the Future' Report & Survey
The main findings of a multidisciplinary research project titled “The Asset Owner of the Future: Risks, Returns and Realism in the Age of Geoeconomics” conducted annually by the organizers are presented at the opening session of the Singapore Forum [5]
