AprThe Governance Evaluation for Mid and Small Caps (GEMS), developed in collaboration with SIAS and CSIS, under the guidance of Advisor Assoc. Prof Mak Yuen Teen of NUS Business School, was launched in April 2015. The Governance Evaluation for Mid and Small Caps (GEMS) addresses the limitations of existing corporate governance indices in several respects. First, it evaluates corporate governance practices over three years rather than on an annual basis. Second, it focuses on observable, quantifiable and verifiable metrics that reflect actual corporate behaviour, rather than mere disclosure of policies, practices or intent to adhere to corporate governance best practices. Third, unlike existing corporate governance indices, GEMS is developed specifically with mid and small cap companies in mind.
