Date 29/07/2011

Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) today introduced two online initiatives, “Customer Account Review Module” and “SGX Online Education programme”, to support retail investors in their understanding and trading of “Specified Investment Products” listed on SGX. SGX began working on both initiatives last year, in response to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) proposal to enhance safeguards for retail investors for Specified Investment Products. Under the proposal, MAS requires broking firms to ascertain whether a retail investor has the relevant knowledge and experience to understand the risks and features of Specified Investment Products before allowing the investor to open an account to trade Specified Investment Products listed on both securities and derivatives markets. The online initiatives have been developed in consultation with market participants including broking firms, Securities Investors Association (Singapore), and the Consumer Association of Singapore.
