Fullerton Fund Management and SGX Group have announced the second edition of the Fullerton/SGX Value-Up Singapore Equities Challenge, now open to the public for the first time. The competition invites Singaporeans and Permanent Residents aged 18 and above to test their investing skills on Singapore-listed small and mid-cap companies over an eight-week period, with cash prizes for top performers.
The Challenge, which initially launched in 2025 for students only, now includes an Open Category for the public alongside the returning Student Category. Participants will manage virtual portfolios of Singapore-listed securities, focusing on the small- and mid-cap segment. The initiative aims to foster disciplined investment habits and provide practical exposure to the equities market.
The Open Category, running from 7 December 2026 to 29 January 2027, allows individuals to compete using virtual portfolios. Cash prizes of S$3,000, S$2,000, and S$1,000 will be awarded to the top three participants. Meanwhile, the Student Category, open to full-time students in polytechnics or universities, offers team-based competition with cash prizes up to S$10,000 and potential internship opportunities.
Ken Goh, Chief Investment Officer at Fullerton, highlighted the growing interest in Singapore equities, stating the Challenge encourages participants to “identify and capture rising shareholder value.” Ng Yao Loong, Head of Global Financial Markets at SGX Group, emphasised the importance of understanding the breadth of the Singapore stock market.
