The Alpha Southeast Asia Institutional Investor Poll is widely considered the region’s leading perceptions-based survey, evaluating public companies based on their performance in financial management, adherence to corporate governance, integrated reporting, corporate social responsibility, and investor relations.

This year’s results were based on responses from 612 investors and analysts with investment interests across Southeast Asia. A total of 36 publicly listed companies were ranked. Notably, the poll maintains impartiality by disallowing participation from corporates, their representatives, or agencies.

A regional awards luncheon is set on June 30, 2025, in Singapore.
