Derivatives driving growth at SGX

THE steady growth of Singapore Exchange's (SGX) derivatives business over the past two years has made it clear that futures are not tangential to the future of the market operator.

That kind of track record, and its corresponding hopeful potential, has been the result of a relentless effort to build bridges and reinforce foundations, says SGX head of derivatives Mike Syn.

"For any kind of infrastructure, you need to be ready when events happen," Mr Syn said.
