The problem this seat exists to solve

Candidates should have substantial owner-investor, private-investment or holding-company governance experience. They need fluency in financial analysis and the ability to assess management, contracts and incentives. Experience across more than one asset type is valuable when supported by clear investment discipline rather than a collection of deal introductions.

Allocate capital across investments with different cash clocks

The director will bring independent judgement to a private investment holding structure. The central challenge is to compare investments whose reported values, funding demands and ability to generate distributable cash may differ substantially.

Make comparable decisions across different investments

Review investment strategy, material acquisitions, financing and disposals. Challenge concentration that may be hidden across apparently unrelated assets sharing the same counterparty, market driver or funding source. Examine the holding entity's obligations separately from consolidated portfolio value.

Investment papers should distinguish the initial price, subsequent funding and resources needed to govern or operate the investment. Ask whether the business has the capability to influence the value-creation assumptions on which the proposal depends. A minority position and a controlling position may offer very different routes to the same projected return.

Assess the cost of retaining liquidity, investing in existing holdings and taking a new opportunity. Require a realistic view of saleability and transaction timing. Where the proposed strategy relies on refinancing or asset sales, the board should understand what happens if those markets are unavailable when needed.

Contribution and boundaries

The director should help the board articulate why a capital decision is preferable to the available alternatives and what evidence would change that view. Relevant interests must be disclosed and managed through the actual governance process.

Applicants should explain an investment they declined despite attractive headline returns because the required influence, liquidity or execution capability was absent. The seat is a governance appointment; transaction execution and portfolio management remain with authorised executives and service providers.

Terms

Where the board sits: Singapore, Singapore
Applications close: 14 November 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: SGD 80,000–135,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Typically 6–10 board meetings a year plus committee cycles; regional issuers commonly hold two of them outside Singapore.

Before you apply — Singapore

No nationality or residency test applies to you as an appointee. The company must have one Singapore-resident director; every other seat is open to a non-resident.

Residency test: One director ordinarily resident in Singapore (Companies Act s.145(1)). A listed issuer will already satisfy this before it reaches you.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director who attends board meetings does not require an Employment Pass. Short business visits are covered by the standard visa position; a director taking an executive or interim operating role does need a pass.
Tenure limit once appointed: Nine years — a hard cap since 1 January 2022, with no shareholder override.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
