Furthermore, it also announced that it will launch 10 Singapore single stock futures (SSFs) on 15 June, in response to growing client demand for a broader suite of Singapore-linked equities products.

The list of underlying securities for the SSFs are ComfortDelGgro, DBS, Genting, Keppel, OCBC, Singtel, Thai Beverage, UOB, Wilmar and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. Most of these securities are also SGX MSCI Singapore Free Index (SiMSCI) stocks.

“We integrated our cash equities and equity derivatives businesses a year ago, to form a single expanded platform capable of scaling product and service innovation for our clients,” said Michael Syn, head of equities at SGX said.

SGX noted that the index trading activities between the SGX cash equities market and the SiMSCI futures reached a record high of almost $650m in a single day in the past few months.

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.
