SGX's Malaysian link to help retail sector

It can enable a cheaper transaction experience.

The linking of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the Bursa Malaysia (BM) can benefit retail investors over institutional investors, CIMB Research said.

According to a report, the link can enable a "more efficient" transaction experience at lower costs, and a more diversified stock universe.

Singapore Business Review previously reported that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) will link the stock market trading between the two exchanges by end of this year.

CIMB Research added that this initiative could also encourage more cross-border research reports and facilitate information exchange.

Similar companies listed on SGX that currently trade at lower valuations than their peers on Bursa could also be potential beneficiaries of the trading link.

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.
