SGX at an investment sweet spot: report

The Singapore Exchange is well-positioned to capture the global flows of various asset classes, according to a report from Jefferies Equity Research.

Analysts from Jefferies Equity Research said that the Singapore Exchange (SGX) is currently at an “investment sweet spot.”

It noted that through mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and in-house developments, it has positioned itself in a great spot to capture the global flows of various asset classes who wish to participate in the Asian growth story.

“We believe the exchange offers a unique investment proposition combining stability from solid core businesses, exciting growth engines, and a host of emerging opportunities,” Jefferies said in a report.

Jefferies added that SGX’s method of binding securities and futures mutually reinforces liquidity.

“The exchange can launch new/replacement products quickly, leading to network and portfolio effects, such as the launch of FTSE contracts,” it said.

Other things that improve liquidity include its pipeline of global REIT listings, secondary listings from US unicorns, its aim to be an SPAC listing venue, and its connectivity and flow from China.

It also noted its position as the number one green bond listing venue, with 50% market share of Asian issuances over the past 12 months.

Thus, the brokerage firm maintained its advice to investors to buy SGX stocks.

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.
