SPF and MAS launch investigation into Samtrade FX

The entity has been on MAS’ Investor Alert List since July 2021.

A joint news release by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced an investigation into Samtrade FX.

The platform as well as its parent company, Samtrade FX Limited, are not licensed by MAS and have also been placed on the department’s Investor Alert List since July 2021.

In particular, the entities are being investigated for potential offences under Section 82 of the Securities and Futures Act 2001, which bars any person without a capital markets services licence from carrying out a business in any regulated activity. Both agencies suspect that irregular trading activities have been carried out on the platform.

Three men have also been arrested in connection with the investigation.

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
