We’re going to bring you an inside look into a conglomerate investment company with operations and financial interests in resources, property and hospitality. 

Founded in the early years of Singapore’s colonial history – we’re talking about 1887 here – The Straits Trading first started out as a company catering to the region’s growing tin smelting industry.

Now, Straits Trading has evolved over the years to expand into sectors such as property, equity investments and hospitality. But which is the most important business vertical for the firm?
