Singapore may soon get a third derivatives exchange

It will be backed by China.

Singapore may soon see a third derivatives exchange opposing Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and Singapore Exchange Ltd.

A Chinese-backed offshore exchange would dovetail with Beijing’s drive to raise the country’s status in global financial markets and bolster the presence of its companies around the world. A mainland firm is seeking to buy the Chicago Stock Exchange, whilst the Shanghai Stock Exchange is reportedly close to acquiring a stake in Pakistan’s national bourse.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
