- SGX Value Unlock Equip Grant — Approved Provider
Your Investors are already forming opinions.
Are you shaping them?
For listed companies, communicating with markets is as important as what you report. Nutgraf’s co-funded training will arm your investor relations and leadership team with the tools to become credible and confident voices with analysts, journalists, and investors.
Official Equip Grant Programme
The SGX Value Unlock Equip Grant co-funds structured training for listed companies across four pillars: Investor Relations, Media Training, Corporate Strategy, and Financial Management. Nutgraf is an approved provider for the IR and Media Training pillars. These are the disciplines that directly shape how markets perceive your company.
WHY NUTGRAF
We train the way real markets work, not how textbooks say they should.
01
Genuine Newsroom Insiders
Our co-trainers are former senior editors at The Straits Times, people who decided which corporate stories got covered, which CFOs came across well, and which press releases went straight to the bin. That perspective is irreplaceable.
02
IR + Media — Uniquely Integrated
Investor relations and media relations are inseparable in today's market. When a journalist calls, it affects your share price. We are the only approved provider that trains both disciplines together in one integrated programme.
03
100+ Engagements, Zero Generic Playbooks
Every workshop is built around your company — your recent announcements, your sector dynamics, your specific risk areas. We research before we arrive. Participants work with real materials, not invented case studies.
04
Full-Spectrum Capability Beyond Training
We can follow through post-workshop with investor messaging, annual report writing, media relations, and thought leadership. We're a strategic communications agency that also trains.
Research consistently shows that companies with stronger investor communications trade at a premium not because their fundamentals are better, but because their story is clearer. Analysts build models based on confidence. Fund managers allocate based on trust. Journalists frame companies based on how those companies frame themselves.
Companies in the top quartile for investor communications trade at a meaningful valuation premium to peers with equivalent fundamentals.

The quality of a management's communication is a proxy for the quality of management itself — in the minds of most institutional investors.
