ISI EMIS and SG M&A Association join forces to deliver ASEAN private company financial data

SINGAPORE, 28 August 2026 – ISI EMIS is pleased to join The Singapore M&A Association (SGM&A) as a Platinum Corporate and Founding Member. The partnership brings together ISI EMIS’s market intelligence, company and industry research, and M&A intelligence across Asia and Emerging Markets with SGM&A’s growing M&A community. As part of the partnership, ISI EMIS will also serve as a Knowledge and Market Intelligence Partner, supporting the Association’s year-round activities with data-driven insights and thought leadership.

Delivering the Most Comprehensive Private Company Financial Data in ASEAN

As M&A activity across Asia continues to evolve, access to reliable company, industry and transaction intelligence is increasingly important for investors, corporates and advisers.

ISI EMIS, an ISI Markets product line, provides company and industry intelligence across fast-growing markets, combining local expertise, research, proprietary data and technology to support informed investment and strategic decisions.

The ASEAN region is growing quickly and its expansion is supported by growing industrialisation and strong foreign investment. Consequently, global businesses and investors require localised, granular data to make strategic decisions, especially around private companies which are often cited as a core blind spot. EMIS ASEAN meets this need by offering 54% deeper data coverage on private companies compared to existing market offerings. It provides visibility that is otherwise difficult to find.

EMIS ASEAN, a 2025 CODiE award-winning platform, serves as a single market intelligence platform for unmatched private company financials, trusted local and global industry research, real-time news, and M&A intelligence. It covers key markets including Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia and is the region’s most comprehensive platform for company, industry, and country intelligence.

Key features of the platform include:

• Unmatched Private Company Intelligence: Access to more than 481,000 public and private companies with 3 years full financial statements and archives across ASEAN. The platform focuses on detailed profiles and deep financials for private firms with revenue exceeding USD 1 million.
• Best-in-Class Industry Research: Comprehensive coverage of over 370 industry sectors across 10 ASEAN countries. EMIS produces over 100 EMIS Insights reports, curated from trusted, verified global and local sources, providing reports, forecasts and market insights. Complementing this, we produce exclusive in‑house proprietary reports, giving clients access to differentiated insights and strategic perspectives unavailable anywhere else.
• Always-On ASEAN News & Market Signals: Access to over 12,600 daily news updates on industries or companies in ASEAN. Our AI-driven research platform enables real-time news scanning, uncovering key signals and hidden trends from our large news repository.
• Advanced M&A and Deal Intelligence: Detailed coverage of all M&A and ECM deals in the region above USD 1 million. Using GenAI and machine learning, EMIS detects both rumoured and confirmed deals to help users identify investment targets early.
• AI-Powered Insights with AskISI: AskISI delivers answers drawn from EMIS’ 2.7M+ research reports, 40M+ news articles, and company filings, reducing research tasks that previously took hours to a matter of seconds.

Through this partnership, SGM&A and ISI EMIS will collaborate to bring greater access to market intelligence and M&A insights for the Association’s community.

Erin Tan, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Alliances at IMAA, SG M&A said:

“We are delighted to welcome ISI EMIS as a Platinum Corporate and Founding Member of the Singapore M&A Association. Their depth of market intelligence and strong coverage across ASEAN will bring valuable insights to our growing M&A community.

As M&A activity across Asia becomes increasingly interconnected, access to reliable company, industry and transaction intelligence is essential for investors, corporates and advisers. We look forward to working closely with ISI EMIS to bring more data-driven perspectives, research and thought leadership to the M&A ecosystem.”

Alvaro Diaz, Regional Sales Director at ISI, said:

“This strategic partnership with the Singapore M&A Association brings together SGM&A’s strong M&A network with EMIS’s deep private-company data and market intelligence across ASEAN.

With private companies representing a significant information gap in emerging markets, our data provides the visibility investors, corporates and advisers need to identify opportunities, assess markets and make more informed decisions. We look forward to working with SGM&A to bring this intelligence and data-driven insight to the region’s M&A community.”

A Year-Round Partnership in M&A Intelligence and Thought Leadership

The partnership will support a range of year-round initiatives between SGM&A and ISI EMIS, including:

• Market intelligence and thought leadership on emerging M&A trends and opportunities across Asia and ASEAN.
• Joint webinars and executive discussions exploring key developments in the regional M&A market.
• Co-branded market outlook reports providing perspectives on deal activity, capital flows and emerging opportunities.
• Research and content collaborations, including the sharing of relevant ISI EMIS insights with the Association’s community.
• Executive interviews and industry perspectives featuring ISI EMIS leadership and experts.
• Conference engagement, including ISI EMIS’s role as Official Market Intelligence Partner for the Asia M&A Conference and participation in relevant programmes throughout the year.
