HKEX opens office in Singapore

It will be its first overseas office.

The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) opened its Singapore office of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) and the Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited (HKFE), wholly-owned subsidiaries of HKEX.

According to a press release, it is the first overseas office of SEHK and HKFE. The office will help the exchanges serve their clients in Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia and reach out to more potential clients in the region.

Trading by individuals and institutions from overseas accounts for more than 40% of SEHK turnover, with Singapore alone providing more than 8% of the international total.

HKEX chief executive Charles Li said, "The office is another step in our plan to develop our markets as unique platforms for cross-border access by international and Chinese investors, as well as attractive destination markets in their own right, offering a range of relevant products across three asset classes: Equities, Commodities and Fixed Income and Currency."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
