MAS publishes proposals to enhance regulatory safeguards for investors
4 August 2014
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued a consultation paper
seeking feedback on its proposals to enhance regulatory safeguards for
investors in the capital markets.
The MAS's main proposals are to: (i) extend its regulatory oversight to non-conventional investment products which share characteristics with capital markets products; (ii) establish a framework to rate all investment products for their complexity; and (iii) refine the investor classes under the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) and Financial Advisers Act (FAA).
