Taking it easy: SGX mulls over toning down on secondary listing rules

Number of listed companies could widen.

According to a release, Singapore Exchange (SGX) is proposing a new regulatory framework for secondary listing on the exchange.

Under the proposed framework, the regulatory oversight for secondary listings is with the regulator of the exchange where the company has its primary listing.

This applies to 23 Developed Markets, and SGX will not impose additional listing obligations. As this is in the consultation phase, no timing for implementation has been given yet.

If implemented, this should help to widen the number of listed companies on the local exchange and also enhance the trading activities on the local bourse.

However, as observed from most current secondary listings, the bulk of the trading activity for a company is still largely confined to its primary listing exchange.

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.
