SGX offers new features to ramp up market transparency

The exchange to offer new order types that enable investors more flexibility in the execution of their orders.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) is improving its securities market opening and closing routines to enhance transparency and trading safeguards.

The initiatives effective 26 September 2011 are:

the publication of real-time indicative equilibrium prices during the Opening and Closing Routines
random ending to the Pre-Open and Pre-Close phases of the Opening and Closing Routines.

SGX is also improving trading functionalities available to market participants on 26 September 2011, according to an SGX report.

Following the start of the Reach trading engine last month, SGX will offer new order types, allowing investors more flexibility in the execution of their orders. These orders types are “Market on Open and Market on Close (both market orders and market-to-limit orders)” and “Session State Orders”.

Mr Gan Seow Ann, President of SGX said, “We are pleased to be able to better meet customers’ need for increased transparency, richer functionalities, greater capacity, and improved latency with these initiatives. Improvement and innovation are necessary to enhance Singapore’s edge as a leading financial centre. We will continue to offer new market features and initiatives for the benefit of all market participants."

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.
