The Society of Remisiers - Singapore

29/09/2026

The lights came on.
The doors opened.
And they kept coming.

One by one, investors filled the SGX Auditorium.

Then the seats ran out.

And still, they came.

For those of us who have spent years in this profession, it was more than just a full house.

It meant something.

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 was a reminder of what can happen when a profession comes together.

Not just remisiers.

Investors. Industry partners. Market practitioners. Friends who have walked alongside us through the years.

Different generations, different experiences, but one shared belief that Singapore's capital market is stronger when there are people willing to share, guide and contribute.

And on Saturday, we saw plenty of that.

We saw remisiers stepping onto the stage to generously share years of experience built through market cycles that no textbook can fully teach.

We saw fellow practitioners exchanging ideas, encouraging one another and reconnecting with old friends.

Most importantly, we saw investors turning up in numbers.

That matters to us.

Because behind every remisier is a story.

Some have spent decades building relationships with their clients.

Some have stayed through crashes, crises and difficult years.

Some are quietly mentoring the next generation.

And many continue showing up for their clients, day after day.

These stories rarely make headlines.

But together, they are the story of our profession.

Remisier Day was more than an event.

It was a homecoming of sorts.

A chance to look around the room and realise that none of us is walking this journey alone.

And a reminder that the future of this profession will not be decided by what people say about us.

It will be decided by what we do next.

How willing we are to learn.

How generously we share.

How strongly we uphold the trust placed in us.

And how determined we are to keep contributing to Singapore's investing community.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Securities Association of Singapore and SGX Group for coming together with The Society of Remisiers - Singapore to make Remisier Day 2026 possible.

To all our speakers who gave their time so generously, thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and passion.

And to every investor and industry practitioner who spent your Saturday morning with us, thank you.

You made the full house mean something.

To every remisier who has stayed the course, stand tall.

To those serving investors quietly every day, your work matters.

And to those who will carry this profession forward, make it one the next generation will be proud to inherit.

Markets will change.

Our industry will change.

We will change with it.

But what has always defined a good remisier, resilience, relationships, experience and trust, will matter just as much in the years ahead.

We are remisiers.
This is our profession.
And its next chapter is ours to write.

The Remisier Still Matters!

The Remisier profession has been part of Singapore’s stock market for decades.

But the role is changing.

Today’s Straits Times article, “Online trading didn’t kill the remisier; it’s helping them make a comeback in S’pore”, shines a timely spotlight on how the profession is evolving, and why remisiers still have an important role to play in Singapore’s financial ecosystem.

Technology has undoubtedly changed our industry.

Investors can now execute trades themselves, access research instantly and increasingly use AI to analyse markets. The traditional role of the remisier as an order-taker has changed, and it will continue to change.

But investing has never been just about pressing the buy or sell button.

It is also about understanding information, putting market movements into perspective, managing emotions during difficult periods and, importantly, having someone you trust to speak to when markets become uncertain.

That human element still matters.

As our SRS President S Nallakaruppan shared in the article, with ex*****on costs now close to zero, the value of the remisier has shifted from order-taking to interpretation.

We believe that evolution is important.

The Remisier of tomorrow may look very different from the Remisier of yesterday. We need to embrace technology, use AI and digital tools to become better at what we do, deepen our knowledge, and continue building meaningful relationships with investors.

There are challenges ahead, including attracting the next generation into the profession. But there are also reasons for optimism. The article highlights renewed interest from brokerages, listed companies and younger professionals in the role remisiers can play within Singapore’s capital markets.

At The Society of Remisiers Singapore, we believe Remisiers remain an important part of the financial ecosystem.

Not because the industry should preserve the past.

But because there is still value in experience, relationships, accountability and the human judgement that sits alongside technology.

Our sincere appreciation to Angela Tan and The Straits Times for taking the time to tell the story of our profession, its challenges, its evolution and, importantly, its future.

The tools will change. The markets will change. Our profession must change too.

But as long as investors need someone they can trust to help them make sense of the market, there will always be a role for the Remisier.

SRS National Day Dinner @ Four Points By Sheraton Hotel Imperial Restaurant on 21st August 2026
======================
We celebrated our Beloved Nation's 61st Birthday in style.

220 SRS members thoroughly enjoyed to the delectable 8 Course Chinese Dinner. Also, it was a great time for fellowship with fellow Remisiers. The whole Restaurant of 22 Tables were fully booked by us.

President Nalla gave a short speech informing members that SRS, SAS, SGX together with our Training Partner AB Maximus, will be having a meeting next week to discuss how best to further upskill our resilient Remisiers through Phase 2 of the Remisier Development Programme (RDP). Th'ng Beng Hooi, Chairman of AB Maximus, gave a brief rundown of the possible RDP courses & how it will help further enhance Remisier skillsets.

There were lots of interesting conversations, chatter, laughter & simply having the opportunity to catch up with one another throughout the Dinner.

The SRS President, Executive Committee & Members would like to take this opportunity to wish Singapore many more Great Years Ahead with our United & Hardworking Fellow Singaporeans.

Happy 61st Birthday Singapore!

MAJULAH SINGAPURA.🙏🇸🇬🎂🌻🌹

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝟔𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞! 🇸🇬

As Singapore celebrates 61 years of nationhood, we pause with a deep sense of gratitude.

Gratitude for the peace and stability we enjoy.

Gratitude for the opportunities that generations before us worked hard to create.

And gratitude for a nation that has given businesses, professionals and communities like ours the environment to grow, contribute and find our place.

For 40 years, The Society of Remisiers - Singapore (SRS) has had the privilege of growing alongside Singapore's financial landscape.

Much has changed over those four decades. Markets have evolved, technology has transformed the way we invest, and the role of remisiers has changed with the times.

Yet, none of our journey would have been possible without the strong foundations Singapore has built, a trusted financial system, resilient institutions and a culture that constantly strives to do better.

National Day is therefore more than a celebration. It is also a reminder to appreciate how far we have come, to remember the generations who helped build what we enjoy today, and to ask ourselves how we can contribute to what comes next.

For SRS, that means continuing to support our remisier community, serving investors with professionalism and integrity, and doing our small part towards a stronger and more inclusive capital market.

We are proud to call Singapore home, but above all, we are grateful to call Singapore home. ❤️🤍

From all of us at the Society of Remisiers (Singapore), thank you, Singapore.

Happy 61st National Day.

Majulah Singapura! 🇸🇬

SRS Signature Durian Trip to JB,Malaysia on Sunday, 21st June 2026
======================
This year's SRS Signature Durian Trip was attended by almost 120 SRS members, families, and friends. Three coaches were duly filled-up.

We commenced our journey from Singapore at 7:30 am from Newton Car Park, clearing Singapore and Johor Customs efficiently before heading to Senai for breakfast.

After breakfast, we strolled through the serene Purple Bamboo Garden at Kulai. We then proceeded to Dury Dury, Durian Gourmet Restaurant, where we indulged in a variety of delectable durians, including Mao Shan Wang, in an air-conditioned environment – a first for our group. Many participants appreciated the much more comfortable environment.

Following our durian indulgence, we visited the Rasa Malaysia Store at JB Heritage Street to purchase some local products and then proceeded to AEON Mall Tebrau City for an extensive shopping experience.

Dinner was served at R&F Dragon Fish Seafood Restaurant which was delicious and the overall ambience was great.

Our return journey to Singapore was smooth, and we arrived home at about 10:00 pm.

The trip was a resounding success, with members & guests already eagerly looking forward to next year's event. 🫰🌻🌹

In the markets, we may walk different paths.
But within the Remisier community, we still come together as one.
That was probably one of the biggest feelings many of us brought home after last night’s 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐈𝐧-𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟕 session.
It was heartening to see both familiar faces and many new members from the Remisier fraternity coming together again, not just to learn, but to reconnect, share experiences, and strengthen friendships within the profession.
The evening started with opening remarks by SGX Senior Advisor, Andrew Ler, whose thoughtful opening speech and warm moderation continue to inspire many within the community.
We also had the privilege of hearing from Ong Cheong Jin, Director - Capital Market Development and ESGenome at SGX, who shared more about 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐒𝐆, a growing platform that helps investors and traders better connect, learn, and engage within the Singapore market ecosystem.

What stood out personally was how InvestSG is not simply about information sharing, but about building a more connected investing community. In today’s market environment, where investors are constantly navigating headlines, volatility, and shifting narratives, platforms that encourage learning, engagement, and responsible investing conversations become increasingly meaningful for retail investors.
The panel discussion that followed was equally insightful, with Andrew moderating a candid and relatable conversation featuring fellow Remisiers Johnson Koh from UOBKH, Lek Yew Meng from Lim & Tan, and Marcus Toh from PhillipCapital.
What made the session especially meaningful was the openness in which experiences were shared, from industry observations to personal journeys as ambassadors and practitioners within the financial markets. Beyond the technical side of the profession, the discussion also reminded many of us that this industry is ultimately still a people business, built on trust, relationships, and continuous learning.

And of course, no Remisier gathering truly feels complete without good food and even better conversations.

The post-event mingling felt less like a formal networking session, and more like a family gathering, with old friends catching up, newer members getting to know one another, and everyone sharing stories from both the markets and life itself.
From all of us at The Society of Remisiers (Singapore), a big thank you to SGX Group for organising and SAS for supporting yet another meaningful session for the Remisier community.
In a fast-moving industry where markets constantly evolve, one thing continues to remain special about the remisier profession:
The strong community spirit, where knowledge is shared, friendships are formed, and the “kampung” spirit continues to live on across generations of Remisiers.

A market is more than numbers on a screen… it is the collective belief of an entire ecosystem.

Today's feature in The Business Times es offers a timely reflection of what many of us within Singapore’s financial community have been witnessing firsthand, a renewed sense of vibrancy and participation in our equities market.

The Society of Remisiers (Singapore) aka SRS would like to extend our appreciation to Ms. Ranamita Chakraborty for a thoughtful and well-observed piece. Her article not only captures the energy on the ground, but also brings together the perspectives of different stakeholders across the ecosystem, highlighting both the progress made and the opportunities ahead. It is through such balanced and insightful reporting that important conversations within the market continue to be shaped.

Across the landscape, there has been a noticeable shift.

Listed companies are engaging more actively with the investment community, going beyond statutory disclosures to foster clearer communication and stronger relationships with shareholders. Investor briefings, corporate access sessions, and educational initiatives have become more frequent and more meaningful, strengthening the bridge between companies and investors.

At the same time, retail participation is growing, not only in scale but in depth. Investors today are more informed, more engaged, and increasingly taking ownership of their financial journeys. This evolution is a positive development for the long-term resilience and dynamism of our market.

As highlighted by SRS President, S Nallakaruppan , sustained efforts to enhance market vibrancy and accessibility remain essential in ensuring that this momentum continues. The collective commitment of all stakeholders plays a crucial role in shaping a more inclusive and robust marketplace.

SRS Executive Committee member, Dan Chang C S , also highlighted the importance of direct engagement between investors and listed companies, noting that face-to-face interactions allow for clearer understanding and more meaningful dialogue.

At The Society of Remisiers (Singapore), we are heartened by these developments.

The progress we are seeing today is not the result of any single effort, but of a shared commitment across the ecosystem, from regulators and listed companies to remisiers, investors, and industry partners. Each plays a role in fostering confidence, facilitating access, and strengthening the integrity of our market.

While market cycles will come and go, what remains important is the foundation we continue to build, one rooted in trust, engagement, and collaboration.

The momentum we see today on SGX Group is encouraging.

More importantly, it reminds us that when an ecosystem comes together with a shared purpose, the market does not just move forward, it grows stronger.

“What if one evening could change the way you see an entire developer… and the neighbourhoods they shape?”

On Monday evening, some members of The Society of Remisiers (Singapore) gathered for a truly lovely evening of insights, conversations, and a close-up look at one of Singapore’s most talked-about developments today, River Modern, a development by GuocoLand Group.

The guided tour set the tone.
Walking through the show gallery, it was clear why River Modern has been drawing strong interest, not just another project, but one that is thoughtfully designed to blend location, connectivity, and lifestyle. The kind that does not just sit in a neighbourhood, but quietly elevates it.

That theme carried into the presentation that followed.

GuocoLand’s 1H FY2026 results reflected a business steadily building for sustainability.
At the heart of it is their 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧-𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, balancing property development with property investment. While development revenue can be lumpy, the investment side provides a stabilising base, and that is starting to show.

A few key takeaways:
💎 Growing recurring income base
Rental income continues to trend upwards, driven by premium assets like Guoco Tower and Guoco Midtown, compounding at ~19% over the years.
💎 Resilient performance despite timing effects
Revenue was lower due to development timing, but profitability held firm, with attributable profit at S$85m and profit after tax up about 13%.
💎 Prudent capital management
Debt-to-assets improved to 0.41x, with lower borrowings and financing costs, reflecting discipline in an uncertain rate environment.

Beyond the numbers, what stood out most is this.
GuocoLand does not just build projects.

They 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬.

From Guoco Tower to Midtown, and now River Modern, there is a clear approach, identifying high-potential locations and creating spaces where people want to live, work, and spend time. And that is where long-term value is built.

A big thank you to Group CFO Andrew Chew for the insightful sharing. And to Richard Sia, George Goh, and the rest of the GuocoLand team, for the warm hospitality and walkthrough.

Special appreciation to the SEC Newgate Singapore team, Guo Xiaorong, Rachel Lee and Chung Mei Shan, the unsung heroines who made this session possible.

Experiences like these remind us that the real edge is not given, it is experienced.
Because sometimes, the best insights are not on the screen, they are built right in front of you.

Sometimes, the quietest stories… are the most worth listening to.

Last Friday evening, members of The Society of Remisiers (Singapore) had the privilege of spending time with Elite UK REIT in a warm and insightful Meet & Greet session.

It was a session where you walk in expecting an update… and walk out with a deeper appreciation of the story behind the numbers.

Elite UK REIT is, by design, a “boring” (read, not flashy) REIT.
But as we often say in markets, boring can be beautiful.

Backed by predominantly UK government tenants, the REIT offers stable, visible income. Since 2024, it has been steadily reshaping its portfolio, extending lease visibility, strengthening its structure, and positioning for its next phase of growth.

Even in the latest quarter, this stability came through, with distributable income rising +9.8% YoY, a quiet but meaningful reflection of improving underlying strength.

A few key takeaways from the session:
💠 Long leases with rental typically paid in advance, supporting strong cash flow visibility
💠 More than 90% of interest costs fixed, providing stability in an uncertain rate environment
💠 Natural hedge, with both income and borrowings in GBP
💠 Disciplined capital management, keeping debt in check to support sustainable distributions
💠 Ongoing repositioning efforts, with potential new income streams such as PBSA in the pipeline

It is not a story about rapid growth.
It is a story about building resilience, predictability, and long-term value, one step at a time.

We were also honoured to have our SRS President, Mr. Nallakaruppan, presenting Elite UK REIT’s CEO, Mr. Josh Liaw, with our SRS 40th Anniversary Commemorative Book, a small token marking a meaningful exchange between industry and community.

A special thank you as well to Mr. Johnson Koh for the kind introduction and for helping make this session possible.

A big thank you to Mr. Josh Liaw, Mr. Jonathan Edmunds (CIO), Ms. Pearl Lam (Head of IR), and the team at Elite UK REIT for the warm hospitality and for taking the time to share openly with our members.

Sessions like these matter.

They allow remisiers to go beyond headlines and numbers, to understand the thinking, the strategy, and the people behind the companies we follow. And in turn, we can bring these insights back to the retail investor community, helping investors make more informed, confident decisions.

Because at the end of the day, investing is not just about information.
It is about understanding.
