Singapore Exchange (SGX) has been named “Exchange of the Year – Asia Pacific” for the fourth time in five years at the annual Futures & Options World (FOW) International Awards. The awards recognise the best in in growth and innovation across the global derivatives market.
The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts drawn from across the market in a range of disciplines. Judges this year cited SGX’s steady pace of innovation across the 12 months as a key driver behind its success, highlighting in particular its customisable exchange-traded FX futures – SGX FlexC.
Michael Syn, Head of Equities at SGX, said, “Meeting and exceeding our clients’ needs, especially in an increasingly challenging global market, is what fuels our efforts to develop the best risk-management solutions. As Asia’s most international exchange, offering unfettered and efficient access to Asian emerging markets across asset classes is our priority. We know our clients see the value in these solutions, but we are pleased to also earn the accolades of the wider community.”
Earlier this year SGX was also named ‘Exchange of the Year’ and ‘Exchange of the Year – Derivatives’ at the FOW and Global Investor Asia Capital Markets Awards – an extension of FOW’s longstanding awards for Asia. The awards celebrate performance and exceptional service or innovation to clients and the industry. FOW, which is part of the Global Investor Group, is a leading publication for the global futures and options industry.
