About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and potential improvements for the Singapore stock market to attract more local investors.

Why are more Singaporeans investing overseas instead of at home? In this episode of Chills with TFC, Reggie sits down with Louis and Jameis to unpack what it would really take to make Singapore’s stock market more vibrant again.
