Singapore Exchange : SGX Welcomes ZICO Capital as Accredited Issue Manager and Catalist Full Sponsor

Singapore Exchange (SGX) is pleased to welcome ZICO Capital as an accredited Issue Manager for Mainboard listings and a Full Sponsor on Catalist, SGX's sponsor-supervised board.

ZICO Capital is a subsidiary of Catalist-listed ZICO Holdings, an integrated network of professional services firms focused on the ASEAN region, providing advisory and transactional, as well as management, support and licensing services.

As an accredited Issue Manager, ZICO Capital will be able to advise companies seeking an SGX Mainboard listing, while being a Catalist Full Sponsor allows it to advise companies on a Catalist listing and supervise Catalist-listed companies post-listing.

Chew Seng Kok, Managing Director of ZICO Holdings, said, 'This marks a significant milestone in ZICO's evolution as a professional services provider. We have continued to expand our suite of highly complementary professional services and are now able to provide clients with advice and services on corporate finance and the capital markets. With these developments, we also anticipate a growth in cross-selling opportunities which will in turn broaden our client base and consequently, our overall revenue streams.'

Mohamed Nasser Ismail, Head of Equity Capital Market (SME) and Head of Capital Market Development, SGX said, 'We are delighted that ZICO Capital has come on board as both accredited Issue Manager for Mainboard listings and Full Sponsor for Catalist listings. We look forward to ZICO Capital bringing companies to list on both SGX Mainboard and Catalist, which offer distinct advantages for companies at different growth stages.'
