SGX hit with lacklustre trading values, dismal fundraising in 2014

But bond listings jumped to a record high.

2014 proved to be a distinctly lacklustre year for the SGX. The bourse’s total trading value slumped 25% year-on-year to $266 billion, while average daily trading value also declined 25% on-year to $1.1 billion.

Data from the SGX showed that new company listings totaled 41, up from 32 in 2013. However, total funds raised were $3.9 billion, down 45% from 2013.

Meanwhile, new bond listings totaled a record 521 versus 465 in 2013. Value of bond listings also hit a record, growing 21% to $213 billion.

Market capitalisation grew 6.1% to $998 billion. On a total return basis, including dividends, the Straits Times Index was up 9.5%.

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.
