Smartkarma acquires Helixtap to boost commodity data capabilities

The acquisition was driven by rising rubber demand, La Niña, and supply disruptions.

SG-based fintech platform Smartkarma has acquired Helixtap, a commodities alternative data and insights platform.

The acquisition will expand Smartkarma’s proprietary data capabilities and institutional coverage, particularly within the commodity and alternative data markets.

Smartkarma aims to deliver exceptional value to clients with enriched data and market intelligence on commodities and the growing electric vehicle market.

The acquisition was driven by rising rubber demand amidst higher volatility, La Niña impacts, and supply disruptions. New EU deforestation regulations also affect the supply chain, as countries focus on the electric vehicle market and more funds expand their commodities desks.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
