Natixis Sees Innovation Opportunities in Singapore’s Smaller Listed Companies

Singapore, 6 November 2026 – Dora Seow, Singapore chief executive of Natixis Investment Managers, said innovation could create opportunities for Singapore’s small and mid-cap listed companies, citing sectors including digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and financial technology. Her remarks, published on 6 November, follow Natixis’s appointment as one of five managers in a S$1.45 billion round of placements under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Equity Market Development Programme.

For Asian investors, the appointment and the investment view answer different questions. The placement is an established policy measure intended to broaden participation in Singapore equities. Seow’s outlook is a manager’s assessment of where businesses could grow, not evidence that earnings or share prices have already risen. The S$1.45 billion is for the five managers collectively, not the amount awarded to Natixis alone.
