Daily Briefing: Fintech firm CapBridge opens private market platform for retail investors; Settlements receive worst pay amongst banking jobs in Singapore

And a two-storey HDB shop has been put for sale at $10.5m.

From DealStreetAsia:

Online investment platform CapBridge is opening a private market platform for retail investors, where they can invest in late-stage growth and pre-IPO deals, according to a press statement.

The platform, named Preferred Access, seeks to lower the barriers of private equity play for Singapore’s retail investors. Capbridge has already secured the approval to extend its activities beyond accredited investors and institutional investors.

Furthermore, the platform will also allow individuals to access private equity opportunities in order to get higher-market return, without being accredited investors.

“With technology and intelligent deal-sharing, we are now able to better offer and lower the barriers of investing so that more investors can participate in private growth opportunities,” said Johnson Chen, founder and CEO of CapBridge.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
