SGX clarifies Bloomberg report on revenue from derivatives

Not a revenue forecast, SGX said.

In a release, Singapore Exchange made a clarification pertaining to Bloomberg’s report “Singapore Bourse Plans Thai, Philippine Futures” on 8 March 2013.

The statement “SGX will increase revenue from derivatives 10 percent to 15 percent this year as the operator of Southeast Asia's biggest bourse introduces more products linked to benchmark stock indexes in the region” was an explanation of the general growth trends of SGX’s derivatives business should there be a continuation of past trends.

As announced in SGX’s February report, SGX’s derivatives daily average volume (DDAV) grew 59% year-on-year and 11% month-on-month to a third straight record one-month high of 512,551 contracts. The Bloomberg report is not to be misconstrued as a forecast of SGX’s revenue.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
