SGX not in a hurry for another merger and acquisitions deal: DBS Vickers

Singapore Exchange still has enough opportunities in its existing business, DBS said.

According to DBS Vickers, SGX had sent written responses to the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) about the bid. SGX has not amended the terms of the proposed merger. SGX and ASX maintain their belief that the merger proposal would result in significant benefits for Australia and Singapore, market users and the shareholders of SGX and ASX.

DBS believes regardless of the deal, SGX has ample opportunities in its existing business and is well positioned to leverage on the prospects within Asia. SGX will continue to pursue organic and other strategic growth opportunities, including further dialogue with ASX on other forms of co-operation. They do not think SGX is in a rush to pursue another M&A so soon.

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.
