Navigating MAS’ 2025 Rule Changes in Singapore: A Legal & Compliance Perspective - Webinar

Introduction

Singapore’s financial regulatory landscape is shifting faster than ever, and 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) rolls out new measures to strengthen investor protection, sharpen market integrity, and reinforce governance standards across the asset management sector. These are not minor adjustments - they will affect everything from compliance processes to strategic planning, demanding that asset managers adapt swiftly to enhanced reporting obligations, stricter governance requirements, and rising transparency expectations.

For financial lawyers, in-house counsel, and compliance leaders, these reforms carry significant implications for structuring deals, drafting client disclosures, updating governance frameworks, and ensuring ongoing compliance. By getting ahead of these changes now, you can not only ensure compliance for your clients but also build stronger stakeholder trust, stand out in a competitive market, and capitalise on new opportunities created by a more robust regulatory framework.

Join us as we unpack these developments and share practical, real-world strategies to help you navigate this evolving environment with clarity, confidence, and a competitive edge.
