We are thrilled and deeply honoured to share that The Fifth Person has won at the 2026 SGX Orb Awards in the special category, The Value Equation.
This category recognises outstanding journalism and analysis examining how shareholder value is created and realised in Singapore’s stock market. It covers individual companies, industries, market reforms and broader themes connected to SGX’s Value Unlock movement.
Our co-founder, Kenji Tay, won with his story: Built to wait: How Boustead Singapore turns time into an asset where he examined how Boustead Singapore creates value across a diverse collection of businesses that operate on very different timelines.
We would also like to congratulate our fellow nominees: Jake Ho of CNA Money Mind and Kevin Tan of The Edge Singapore. It is an honour to be recognised alongside writers and journalists producing such insightful work on Singapore’s companies, capital markets and investment community.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the esteemed panel of judges — Eleanor Seet, president and head of Asia ex-Japan at Amova Asset Management; Jane Martinson, Marjorie Deane Professor of Financial Journalism at City, University of London; Olivier Fines, Head of Advocacy and Policy Research, EMEA at CFA Institute; Shane Chesson, Founding Partner of Openspace Capital; and Vis Nayar, CIO at Eastspring Investments — for their time and thoughtful consideration, and for recognising the work and research behind our article.
It also marks another proud milestone in our journey with the SGX Orb Awards. The Fifth Person previously won the #TheGoTo Award in both 2018 and 2020 which recognises the best digital platform that most empowers investors to make educated decisions with their investments and money.
We are sincerely grateful to SGX for this recognition and for its continued support over the years. SGX has played an important role in encouraging high-quality financial journalism, strengthening investor education and supporting the growth of Singapore’s investment community.
We would also like to thank you — our readers, members and followers. Your continued trust and support gives us the opportunity to keep researching, writing and sharing the investment insights that matter. Every article you read, share or discuss helps us continue doing what we love.
Thank you for being part of our journey. This award belongs to all of you too! 🙏😊
