SGX to add 8 new ADRs

All the ADRs are fungible with those listed in the US and allow investors, for the first time, to manage their exposure to these companies round-the-clock.

According to SGX, five of these ADRs are of major Japanese companies including the world’s biggest automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Two of the new ADRs are from major China companies which only have US listings. Their quotation on SGX will give investors their first-ever opportunity to manage exposures to these companies during the Asian time zone, when news flow relevant to the companies is likely to occur. The eighth ADR is from a major South Korean company, POSCO, one of the world’s largest steel makers.

Mr Chew Sutat, Head of Securities at SGX said, “Our increasingly diverse ADR suite enables customers to manage risk and trade across several time-zones with ease and at competitive cost. Recent market events underline the importance of this flexibility and SGX looks forward to bringing more of such products to customers.”

The ADRs from China are Focus Media Holdings, and JA Solar Holdings. The ADR from South Korea is POSCO. The five ADRs from Japan are Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group, NTT DoCoMo, Toyota Motor Corporation and Wacoal Holdings.

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.
