The bank's admission brings the number of Clearing Members for SGX’s securities market to 28 and the number of Trading Members to 29.

The derivatives market has 30 Trading Members and 26 Clearing Members.

Gan Seow Ann, President of SGX said, “We are pleased to welcome Standard Chartered Securities to our securities market. Standard Chartered Bank has significant global presence and is active in growth markets such as Asia, Africa and the Middle East. With its extensive distribution network and localised expertise in offering Asian based equities products, we believe Standard Chartered Securities would be able to channel new trade flows into our market, thereby strengthening SGX’s position as the leading international exchange in Asia Pacific.”

Mr Ray Ferguson, Regional Chief Executive, Singapore and Southeast Asia, Standard Chartered Bank, said, "Membership in the Singapore Exchange is a significant development for Standard Chartered. It is testament not just to our continued commitment to Singapore, which is an integral part of the Group’s footprint across Asia, Africa and the Middle East but also an important step towards our continued build out of a strong equities and securities business to reinforce our position as the bank of choice for our corporate and institutional clients. Our membership will bring a number of benefits enabling us to further expand the support we provide our clients.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
