Main Activities

The primary activity of SGX (Singapore Exchange) is the operation of a securities exchange. SGX offers trading, clearing, settlement and depository services for a wide range of financial products, including equities, bonds, derivatives and indices. It primarily serves institutional and retail investors, as well as companies seeking to raise capital or manage their financial risks, with a particular focus on Asian markets.

History

The history of Singapore Exchange (SGX) began in 1999, when it was created through the merger of two major entities: the Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES) and the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX). This merger brought together securities and derivatives trading activities under a single entity, thereby strengthening Singapore’s position as a regional financial center.

Over the years, SGX has experienced several key stages of development:

  • 1999: Official creation of SGX, listed on the stock exchange the same year.
  • 2000s: Launch of new financial products, including derivatives and indices, and development of electronic trading platforms.
  • Strategic partnerships: SGX has formed alliances with other Asian and global exchanges to facilitate cross-listing and access to international markets.
  • Acquisitions and innovations: The company has invested in market technologies, clearing and settlement infrastructures, and has acquired specialized firms to strengthen its capabilities.
  • Recent strategic changes: SGX has diversified into financial data, sustainability (ESG), and has launched initiatives to attract more technology and growth companies to list.

Today, SGX is recognized as one of Asia’s leading stock exchanges, playing a key role in regional and international finance.

Team

The founder of SGX Group (Singapore Exchange) is the result of the 1999 merger between the Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES) and the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX). Therefore, there is no single founder, but rather an institutional creation supported by the government of Singapore.

  • Loh Boon Chye – Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

  • Pol de Win – Head of Global Sales and Origination
