SGX, Thai stock exchange to introduce new Depository Receipts

On 30 May, investors can trade SDRs representing securities in the SET50 index locally.

The SGX Group and the Stock Exchange of Thailand will be launching the new Singapore Depository Receipts (SDRs) under the Thailand-Singapore DR Linkage on 30 May.

Investors can trade their SDRs via local brokers on the SGX securities market during local trading hours and in Singapore dollars.

Phillip Securities will issue the inaugural SDRs representing the beneficial ownership interest in the underlying securities of Airports of Thailand, CP All, and PTT Exploration and Production, all included in the benchmark SET50 Index.

Loh Boon Chye, SGX Group CEO, said that the SDRs "will spur increased participation across borders and create more vibrancy in our capital markets."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
