Structured warrants attract more investors in Asia

Structured warrants are an example of Specified Investment Products.

According to an SGX report, Structured Warrants have a growing presence in Asia as an alternative for investors to participate in the performance of an underlying asset at a fraction of its price, in both bullish and bearish markets.

The five most active Index Warrants for May month to date were Structured Warrants of the Hang Seng Index. They comprised four Call and one Put Warrant, with a total turnover of S$504 million. The Hang Seng Index Call Warrant CGIW with an expiry date of 29 July 2017 and strike level of 25,200 was the most active index warrant in May month to date. It generated a trade value of S$188 million for the period.

The five most active Stock Warrants for May month to date were Call Warrants on Singapore’s banking stocks, with a total turnover of S$13million. DBS’s Call Warrant CBJW with an expiry date of 10 July 2017 and strike level of S$19.50 was the most active warrant. It generated a trade value of almost S$4.5 million in the period.

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.
