16 July 2026 | 2H2026 Outlook: Geopolitics, Markets, and What Financial Services Should Be Positioning For

The intersection of rate normalisation, geopolitical realignment, and shifting capital flows is reshaping investment strategy across Asia. For financial services institutions navigating this landscape, the challenge is clear: understanding where capital is actually moving, and positioning for the opportunities that matter most in 2H2026.

Sunil Garg, Chief Investment Officer at Lighthouse Canton, will be on stage at the Singapore FinTech Association's Capital Markets Services Subcommittee panel on 16th  July, 2026 joining senior industry leaders to examine the macroeconomic developments defining the next phase of regional market evolution.

The panel will explore:

  • US-China dynamics, tariffs, and their implications for ASEAN capital flows
  • The rate environment's impact on fintech valuations, lending, and wealth management
  • Singapore's positioning as a regional safe-harbour hub
  • Where institutional and retail capital is actually moving in 2026
