Structured Futures Products on SGX Soon
A few days ago, Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX) announced some rule amendments that will allow product offerings on a broader suite of asset classes in the securities market.
The new rules expand the application of existing Singapore Exchange Securities Trading (SGX-ST) Rules and Central Depository (CDP) Clearing Rules to allow trading of listed structured products based on futures prices.
With the rule change, financial institutions will probably be coming up with more innovative products to offer to retail investors.
Listed futures?
However, unless there is sufficient interest and liquidty, we will probably still need the issuers to be a market maker for these products for them to be successful.
