Singapore Exchange launches Reach trading engine

Reach offers 10 times more capacity with ultra-low latency of less than 90 microseconds.

Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) new securities trading engine – Reach – began operating from on Monday. Reach benefits market participants by making price discovery more efficient, thereby improving market quality and liquidity.

Reach offers 10 times more capacity and is the world’s fastest trading engine with ultra-low latency of less than 90 microseconds. It is part of SGX’s $250 million technology investment to strengthen market infrastructure. In April 2011, two other components of the initiative were rolled out, the state-of-the-art SGX Data Centre and Co-Location services.

“The launch of Reach puts Singapore ahead of many global financial centres. Singapore’s competitiveness depends on innovation and improvement and we are proud to contribute to this with our investment in the best market technology and infrastructure,” said Mr Magnus Bocker, CEO of SGX in its report.

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.
