SGX to adopt London Stock Exchange's technology for new post-trade system

Operations to kick off in phases from end-2015.

According to Bloomberg's report, Singapore Exchange Ltd. will use London Stock Exchange Group Plc (LSE) technology for a new post-trade system to offer multi-currency and multi-asset products as the Asian bourse operator expands cooperation with the U.K. company.

The platform, created with LSE’s MillenniumIT unit, will begin operating in phases from the end of 2015, according to the statement. The system will include clearing, settlement and depository services and support linkages with other markets, depositories and clearinghouses.

It will enable retail investors to give their brokers access to information on all their investments held with SGX’s depository.

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.
